NOW Yearbook Vault ’82

‘Lesser compiled’ singles from 1982

Now Yearbook / Vault 1982

Seven months after the last announcement, NOW Music have confirmed a new Vault release (a Yearbook sub-brand) focusing on 1982.

A reminder that the Vault is concerned with ‘lesser compiled’ singles. Tracks that were perhaps not big hits, or indeed not hits at all. Or maybe they achieved success in the US but not in the UK.

4CD deluxe of NOW Yearbook: Vault ’82

There’s plenty of big names represented in this new 1982 release including The Cure (‘The Hanging Garden’), The Police (‘Secret Journey’), Paul McCartney (‘Tug of War’), The Who (Athena’), Steve Winwood (‘Valerie’, which stalled at No 51 in ’82 but reached the top 20 in 1987), Elton John (Empty Garden (Hey Hey Johnny)), Culture Club (‘I’m Afraid of Me’), Grace Jones (‘The Apple Stretching’), Level 42 (‘Are You Hearing (What I Hear)?’), XTC (‘Ball and Chain’), Mike Oldfield (‘Five Miles Out’), Marillion (‘Market Square Heroes’), Bruce Springsteen (Atlantic City), John Mellencamp (‘Hurts So Good’), Michael McDonald (‘I Keep Forgettin’ (Every Time You’re Near)’ which only reached No 43 in the UK, remarkably) and many more! Full track listings are below.

The usual formats are available: 4CD deluxe with hardcover book and 28 page booklet, 3LP coloured vinyl (yellow in this case) and standard 4CD in a card sleeve.

NOW Yearbook Vault ’82 will be released on 16 January 2026.
