NOW Yearbook 1985

Product Information

The first single from Sting's debut solo album is included alongside massive trans-Atlantic hits from Tears For Fears, Simple Minds, The Power Station and Tina Turner - plus some of the decades' most iconic hits including a-ha with 'Take On Me'. As always, the 3LP edition offers an unavoidable, cut-down selection, in this instance highlighting 47 tracks from 1980, but both tracklistings are available in full, below. There was enough decent music about in every one of these years, without the need for a double dose of Blondie, FrankieGTH or Duran Duran, no matter how popular these bands were at the time (1984 especially was arguably the best year for music imo, it was jammed packed with all the pop hits). 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.

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. A large number of established artists also scored their biggest ever hits in 1983 : Bonnie Tyler produced a global smash with ‘Total Eclipse Of The Heart’, Billy Joel’s ‘Uptown Girl’ introduced his biggest selling album in the U. The final disc starts off exploring mid-80s Dance, Electro and Hip-Hop crossover before moving on to some ‘grown up’ pop from the likes of Sting, Bryan Ferry, more Tears For Fears and Marillion.Just feels like so far these albums are missing a bit of trick - you'd have never have had any of this on the original UK series, the original compiler Ashley Abram wouldn't have had any of it! s‘I’m Your Man’, ‘Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves’, Eurythmics collaboration with Aretha Franklin, Tears For Fears’ Head Over Heels, Howard Jones’‘Look Mama’, Go West’s Don’t Look Down (The Sequel), Thompson Twins’‘Don’t Mess With Doctor Dream’ and many more. As is often the way, these compilations serve as a reminder of quite how much great pop was delivered in any 12-month period, and 1986 is no exception.
