Having just acquired a load of early NOW albums on MP3.......

[El Presidente]

.......I would just like to confirm that there was a load of ELEPHANT WANK music in the 80's, Curiosity Killed the Cat, Hue and Cry, Johnny Hates Jazz, Marillion et al make me shudder.

Don't tell Beachy

( You forgot Mel and Kim )

I saw a dealer at a boot sale with a complete run of this series on cassette knock them out for £85!

There must be fans of 80's/90's music out there

 

[El Presidente]

.......to say nothing of Level 42 and Karel Fialka

 

[Lush]

I LOVED Hue and Cry. I Refuse is one of my favourite records.

 

[simon swagbag]

I saw Curiosity Killed The Cat at the Top Rank. I thought they were alright & their album was good pop, better than 90% of the shit being put out at the time.
They played their instruments and blah blah blah...
Do I sound old?

 

[Willow]

Oooh, I wish I could get my hands on those! Are they the original listings, not the year by year best of?

NOW1 was my first ever album. Buffalo Gals by Malcolm McLaren - bonafide classic!

We all know Divine was your wank fodder in the 80's

 

[Stevie Boy]

Nope i again agree...that makes two of us sounding old. First two singles were good, Misfit and Down to Earth. Weren't they sampled by De La Soul?

You were into SABRINA down at the Pink Coconut

 

[element]

f***ing hell, we'll all be after tickets for the next Here & Now Tour at this rate

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Actually, I quite like Johnny Hates Jazz. 'I don't wanna be a hero' is a great anti-war song.

Did she have more than the one song? Forever being requested on Lifestyle Satellite Jukebox....

 

[Austrian Gull]

I LOVED Hue and Cry. I Refuse is one of my favourite records.

Can I put in a word of praise for Looking For Linda and Violently?

 

[Billy the Fish]

NOW by it's very nature is going to contain all the mainstream, middle of the road, commercial shit of the time. Always has and always will.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Can I ask why you acquired them - surely you must have known that they would contain utter poo!!

There were some reasonable Indie compilations that came out later in the 80's though - C86 (I think it was called) was one I had, but it got nicked.
