Now Yearbook Extra 1981
3CD companion set
It will be of no surprise to anyone that the Now That’s What I Call Music Team are following up their very well received Yearbook 81 release (watch the SDEtv unboxing video) with a companion ‘Extra’ set which offers “66 More Essential Hits From 1981”.
This new triple CD package offers more hits from the best-selling artists of that year (The Police, John Lennon, Duran Duran, Toyah, Adam and the Ants, ELO, The Human League etc.) as well as hits from a host of artists not represented on the actual Now ’81 Yearbook (which was issued last month). Full track listing is below.
As usual, there’s no ‘extra’ vinyl and this 3CD set is packaged in a six-panel gatefold card wallet.
Now Yearbook ’81 – Extra will be released on 1 July 2022
