NOW Yearbook 1987 – Extra

3CD companion set

NOW Yearbook 1987 Extra 3CD set

Now That’s What I Call Music will release NOW Yearbook 1987 – Extra in October.

This 3CD companion set features 59 tracks from 1987 and is a further reminder of how ’87 was actually not a bad year for pop.

Tracks from the first disc include George Michael’s ‘controversial’ first single from Faith, ‘I Want Your Sex’, Duran Duran’s third 45 from Notorious (‘Meet El Presidente’), the excellent ‘Manhattan Skyline’ from a-ha’s second album Scoundrel Days, Curiosity Killed The Cat’s ‘Misfit’, Eurythmics – in rock mode – with ‘Missionary Man’ and Terence Trent D’Arby/Sananda Maitreya’s ‘If You Let Me Stay’.

CD 2 features Alexander O’Neal’s ‘Fake’, Robbie Neville’s ‘C’est La Vie’ (co-produced by Alex Sadkin) and Timbuk 3’s memorable ‘The Future’s So Bright,I Gotta Wear Shades’. A shout out for Westworld’s ‘Sonic Boom Boy’ and The Proclaimers’ ‘Letter From America’.

The last disc includes some great songs that were minor hits (in the UK) for major artists, including Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Tunnel of Love’ and Billy Idol’s ‘Sweet Sixteen’, alongside tracks that were never off the radio in Britain at the time, including Simply Red’s ‘The Right Thing’, Wet Wet Wet’s ‘Sweet Little Mystery’ and Johnny Hates Jazz’s ‘I Don’t Want To Be A Hero’. Good to see Wax’s ‘Bridge to Your Heart’ included and ABC’s ‘The Night You Murdered Love’ both included.

NOW Yearbook 1987 – Extra will be released on 11 October 2024.
