Now Yearbook 1980-1984: Vinyl Extra

If you’re a Now That’s What I Call Music Yearbook vinyl collector and have felt shortchanged because none of the ‘Extra’ volumes ever came out on your format of choice, SDE has good news for you. In December, the NOW team will release Yearbook 1980-1984: Vinyl Extra, a special 5LP coloured vinyl box set that effectively brings together supplemental ‘Extra’ LPs for the years in question.

The coloured vinyl records are themed around the five years in question and feature further highlights not included on the Yearbook 3LP sets. There’s between 14 and 16 singles on each LP in this new box (75 tracks in total) and the selections are a mixture of songs from the original 4CD Yearbooks that didn’t fit on the 3LP sets as well as tracks from the CD Extra releases. So for example, on LP 1 in this box (1980), Donna Summer’s ‘On The Radio’ and The Korgis’ ‘Everybody’s Got To Learn Sometime’ were both on the original 4CD Yearbook 1980 while Kate Bush’s ‘Army Dreamers’ and Blondie’s ‘Call Me’ were both on the 3CD Yearbook 1980 Extra. Check out the full track listing, below.

The vinyl colours and grey (1980), red (1981), yellow (1982), red (1983) and blue (1984). These all tie into the original Yearbook colours except for 1983 which was black. I guess black vinyl in a coloured vinyl set may have seemed a bit weird…

Yearbook 1980-1984: Vinyl Extra is an individually numbered, limited edition box set and is released on 16 December 2022. It should be a great companion to the vinyl Yearbook sets if you’ve been collecting them.
