NOW That's What I Call 70s Pop

Product Information

On 2 March 2023, Now 70s reappeared on Freeview as a FAST channel on Channelbox channel 271 alongside Now 80s and Now 90s. Disc one tracks include the original 12-inch version of ‘Are You Ready For Love’ by Elton John, the rare long version of Wings’ non-album single ‘Goodnight Tonight’ (both 1979) and the seven-minute cut of Cliff Richard’s ‘We Don’t Talk Anymore’ and the 12″ mix of ‘Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick’, and the full length version of The B-52s’ classic ‘Rock Lobster’. If the original is not available, then use another hit, and, there were lots of hits in the 70's so why is it necessary to have one artist repeatedly featured, It would be better to have 100 different artists. John Paul Young's "Love Is In The Air" is a piece of late 70s pop perfection, and along with Carole Bayer Sager's "You're Moving Out Today" and the seaside postcard sauciness of "Telephone Man" by Meri Wilson, songs like this sum up part of the 1976 /1977 musical flavours offered by stations such as Radio 1 and London's Capital Radio.

After proving a popular feature in the magazine, Boo Kroo were given their own show on Channel U – which is how this video for the track (produced by Sticky) came about.
