About this deal

It doesn’t have dates, or any real specifics, but it does capture the mood of a very particular moment in my life. it not only has Pulp’s “Common People” but also “Some Might Say” by Oasis and “The Universal” by Blur. Read more about the condition New: An item that is still in its original shrink wrap from the manufacturer and the original manufacturer’s seal (if applicable) has not been removed.

For years, our house quaked to so much chart pap – Nick Berry to Men at Work, Paul Young to The Weather Girls – it was a wonder Bruno Brookes wasn’t instinctively drawn there to mate. But then, one quick CD change later, it was off to Middle Earth with elf queen Enya on the aching “Caribbean Blue”. I’d warm down to the wind-tunnel riffs of “These Dreams” by Heart, pressing my nose into my knee while Ann Wilson conjured images of misty moonlit woodlands. There I was, sat on my own on a long-haul bus, hair parted in the middle, plugged blissfully into a chunky, bright yellow Walkman. Mainly it was because I was older and had a part-time job so could afford the extra instead of saving pocket money when I was younger.It was 1988: the year Margaret Thatcher became Britain’s longest-serving prime minister, the pound note was withdrawn from circulation and work began on the Channel Tunnel. Maybe I’ll have the last two typed up by the time the lockdown officially ends… assuming this blog is still going in 2028. It is a game of two halves and in the second instalment, you really don’t know what you’re going to get. This song was brutally murdered by the radio, but that's why I've moved onto the remixes (not on this album). The Special Editions series includes a wide range of Now anniversary collections, different music genres, eras, and decades, as well as commercial tie-ins with Smash Hits, Disney, Eurovision, HMV and the Official Chart Company.

A hit during late spring and for a few weeks around Easter 1991, a permanent feature in my friend’s car stereo. Released in association with the Official Chart Company to "celebrate 70 years of the official UK singles chart". 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.Girl power was everywhere, from the Spice Girls and the Sugababes to the pop queens ruling stateside: Madonna, Britney Spears, Destiny’s Child and Christina Aguilera. Averaging three albums a year, and now totalling over 100 releases, the series has become a bellwether of mainstream music for pop historians.
