NOW - Yearbook Extra 1985

Product Information

from The Smiths – setting the tone for a run of ‘Alternative’ hits including The Cure with ‘Close To Me’, ‘Duel’ from Propaganda, and ‘She Sells Sanctuary’ from The Cult.

I would love to start a thread illustrating where the “wrong” versions are always used on CDs, and I would do a playlist of these and “missing” tracks, but some are impossible to track down. More chart debuts from King, Simply Red, Fine Young Cannibals, and The Dream Academy lead toward the disc’s closing track from Strawberry Switchblade with the Pop classic ‘Since Yesterday’.Aside from inclusion on some 1983 compilations (also reviewed here), it has rarely surfaced on retrospective collections.

Hi – Re the 1979 Extra Plus, one or two typos but main issue is Still by the Commodores was on the main 1979 Yearbook (cd4, track 14). One I particularly enjoyed on a TOTP 40th anniversary rewatch recently was Tantalise by Jimmy the Hoover. Bicycle Race (Queen), Oh Carol (Smokie), Greased Lightnin’ (John Travolta), Now That We’ve Found Love (Third World), Rasputin (Boney M.e. Madonna, Prince, David Bowie), the whole point is to gather up the tracks that Now cannot or will not licence.

If somebody put together a Malcolm McLaren and associated / managed artists box set, then it would be an ideal song to feature. NOW is proud to present Yearbook Extra 1985 – 3 CDs featuring 60 more stellar pop moments from 1985.

Mid-1980s Synth and Pop from Howard Jones, Nik Kershaw, Red Box, Scritti Politti and Stephen Duffy follow – as does the debut ‘Election Day’ from Duran Duran side project Arcadia. I would add “Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2)” by Pink Floyd to the ’79 set since it was a UK Christmas No.For example Top of the Pops by the Rezillos almost always uses the album track instead of the single. Finance is provided by PayPal Credit (a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH). Likewise Roadrunner by Jonathan Richman uses the fast version not the slow one (much confusion caused by inconsistent naming of this track over the years! Unless another compilations happen in parallel to the Yearbook series in the future… After all, there are few artists who appear in other NOW compilations (like DM or Madonna), why wouldn’t they appear in a new series of compilations ? I come back to you because I noticed last Monday that an announcement concerning the Extra edition of 1986 had been published before it’s mysteriously disappeared.
