Now Yearbook ’86 – Extra

Companion 3CD set

In April, the Now That’s What I Call Music Team continue their Yearbook output with Now Yearbook ’86 – Extra, a 3CD companion to the ‘main’ 1986 Yearbook which was released in late February.

This offers “60 more essential hits” from 1986 and kicks off in time-honoured tradition with Queen and ‘A Kind Of Magic’. CD 1 also includes Eurythmics’ lead single from Revenge, ‘When Tomorrow Comes’ and plenty of other hits from the likes of a-ha, The Bangles, Bryan Ferry, Sting, Paul Young and more.

CD 2 delivers some FM Radio classics with the likes of Cutting Crew’s ‘(I Just) Died In Your Arms’, Mr. Mister’s ‘Kyrie’, Peter Cetera’s Glory Of Love and Bruce Hornsby & The Range’s ‘The Way It Is’. The second disc also reminds us that Jennifer Rush isn’t technically a one-hit-wonder since ‘Ring Of Ice’ got to number 14 in the UK.

The final CD is a mixed bag in the best possible way and is host to hits from The Housemartins, The Smiths, New Order, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Dead Or Alive, Falco, Grace Jones, James Brown and more. Full tracklisting is below.

Packaged in the usual six-panel card sleeve, Now Yearbook ’86 – Extra will be released on 7 April 2023.
