NOW Yearbook 1985-1989: The Final Chapter – Extra
Yearbook endgame for the 80s
As expected NOW Music are releasing an ‘Extra’ version of NOW Yearbook 1985-1989: The Final Chapter, which should be the last word on the 1980s within the confines of the Yearbook brand.
Like its 4CD companion this 3CD set features big names, with hits from acts such as George Michael, Pet Shop Boys, a-ha, Eurythmics, Paul McCartney, Sting, Sade, Swing Out Sister, Go West, Howard Jones, Nik Kershaw, Arcadia, Bruce Springsteen, ELO, Heart, New Order, The Cure, Duran Duran, Alison Moyet, T’Pau, The Bangles, Kim Wilde, Sananda Maitreya and many more. Full tracklistings, below.

There will also be a 5LP edition of Yearbook 1985-1989 since vinyl Yearbooks do come as 3LP vinyl set, none of the 3CD ‘Extra’ versions are issued on vinyl, so this release mops up highlights from the extra releases. Each LP represents a year and they come in multi-coloured vinyl.
NOW Yearbook 1985-1989 VINYL Extra and NOW Yearbook 1985-1989: The Final Chapter will both be released on 27 March 2026.
