Originally, the series captured extended 12" mixes of dance hits of the time, but from 1991 onwards, all Now Dance compilations featured 7" edits with only occasional extended versions or mixes included.

Adam Ant's poster was on many a teenage girls bedroom wall and 'Stand and Deliver' might be nearly 40 years old but still sounds good.

The compilation comes in a special edition box, and includes an 80s pop quiz booklet, making it the perfect gift for any pop fan! Most of the artists on this five CD compilation are still recording and a lot will still tour (when touring is allowed again). was a vintage year for pop music as witnessed here with 'Tainted Love' by Soft Cell and 'Don’t You Want Me' from The Human League.

For the 30th anniversary of Now in 2013 and the release of Now 100 in Summer 2018, the first Now album was re-compiled and re-issued.

The tie-in television programmes are a month by month video playlist of tracks, from one year previously featured on a Now Yearbook album, with Bruno Brookes presenting. The first two volumes were not released on compact disc, and all subsequent releases were either single, double, or triple disc sets. The series is then moved forward again, with the release of Now Yearbook 1992 in July 2023 (an Extra followed in August).I still think there's plenty more mileage in Now's Forgotten 80s series but it seems to have stalled after two releases. For now I'll pass on the Forgotten 70s, the Forgotten 80s and probably the rest of the Now Forgotten series.

The Yearbook series are 4-CD and 3-LP vinyl sets, each representing a year of music, which launched in June 2021. Due to the higher cost of pressing vinyl and the limited time they are available, they are at least three times more expensive than their compact disc counterparts.

The frequency in which they were released also varied from year to year; initially, and most frequently across the series, there would be one Now Dance volume per year, but in 1994 for example, there were four volumes released, and in 1996, there weren't any Now Dance compilations released. Each release is issued as a limited edition mini-hardback book, with the CDs in sleeves forming the pages of the ' yearbook' which contains an introductory overview of the year, original 7" single artwork, trivia, chart positions and a quiz.this arrived wrapped in celophane but once removed trying to open the five cd's was a joke, the whole thing was stuck together. Track sound quality is generally good to excellent, (with the notable exception of Under Your Thumb by Godley And Creme which sounds muffled and noise-gated to hell) but volume level between one track and another is very inconsistent - and it's not just due to mastering either. The Now Yearbook series also releases a vinyl selection of its primary release, with an Extra round-up vinyl boxset featuring tracks from the CD-only series, released at the end of 2022. Even though the cd reissues are flawed with album versions being used instead of single mixes and some of the sets are missing tracks they still have the ability to transport the listener back when tyrants ruled the world, fingers were on buttons and government cheese was for dinner, every night.

November 2020) David Bowie, Patti Labelle and Michael McDonald, and the Real Roxanne are the tracks that are missing. Due to licensing issues, these re-compiled versions often use alternative mixes such as album versions.Another strand of the Now Yearbook series, in August 2022, is the somewhat experimental release of a limited edition, extended play, 7" vinyl single, containing 2 tracks each from the 1983 and 1984 Yearbooks.

Good selection, not forgotten for the likes of me but may be for a lot of people who grew up in the 80's.
