I have the first one on LP, checked the value recently hoping it might be worth a few quid, it was...about a tenner

Re: Now That's What I Call Music

I only had the first one on vinyl. Someone gave it to me on release.Never bothered with the others.However my sisters did continue to build on the collection.

Somehow reminds me too much of the old top of the pops albums that everybody used to have.

Re: Now That's What I Call Music

I was a bit too young to get the earliest ones. But I can remember getting Now 8 on CD one Christmas (Christmas 1986). I was over the moon to get it as my Dad had just recently got a new HIFI (which had a CD player on it). I can remember it was the first CD I ever owned

Re: Now That's What I Call Music

I still have 3-7 and Now dance '86 on vinyl and 8 and the first Xmas album they did on cd. Picked up the odd one here and there over the years mainly for parties or bbqs. I've also been buying the re-issues on cd and will do up to 8.

The Now XIII album from 1988 was borrowed from a friend, and I still remember the tracks on there.

Another person here who owned Now 8 on double cassette...

I also remember buying Now 32 on CD for a bargain price - I remember it featuring a few great songs of the time.

Now you can also find them in old retro stores. I bought a few records some months ago. Indeed, the earlier cd editions are rare, but unfortunately, they are all scratched and not preserved. Of course, you can listen to songs on different media, but I always have a special affection for disks. My son plays on drums in a rock band, and he ordered a drum machine from singularsound.com. They want to release their first CD, which will help them simulate the necessary sounds. It's amazing how much modern technology can afford.

The earlier cd editions are quite rare, not so much the early Vinyl as millions were pressed

Does anyone watch the Now channels on Sky (361 to 363)? - some of those songs come up on there from time to time.

It seems that most bands release 1-2 successful albums before their creative potential disappears. It's my opinion that these bands are one-hit wonders. Those people who appear in our time, take advantage of the glory and profits, and then disappear disappear into oblivion. Years later, I enjoyed watching "Karaoke night Challenge" on Challenge TV, as well as Suggs and a monkey.

The NOW Yearbook 79 has a good combination of songs, especially on disc 2. I might go to HMV to get it the day after the Queen's funeral.

Not Records but CDs yes - I can not give in now, even if 2day's Music is utter cr*p, I have just always loved how the colours on "Now" Stand out and it was presented different to other compelations.

Many have tried to copy them - like "Hits blah, blah, blah", especially those from the early noughties - but hey they all failed!

All I had on vinyl was the first one. I received it from someone upon release.Never gave the others any thought.My sisters did, however, carry on adding to the collection.

Reminds me excessively of the old top of the pops albums that everyone possessed, for some reason.

There has been a new one (Number) brought out in the last few Days - like I said before - that I'll always collect them until either they are no longer made or I die. Which-ever first to be honest

As I had also said .... it's true the Music these days is rubbish par the odd 3 or 4 songs on both CDS, but I do love them - I guess the Colour of the Sleeves also held a real fascination - more so the late 90s ones (and too in comparison to the first 50 or so from the 80s)

The Colours of today are'nt like the older versions either for their pure brilliance and amazing contrasts, but I will always collect (and may-be I have double up's) them as it is such a brilliant collection that will never ever ever be matched or beaten either I feel for the sheet Numbers made and volumes. I shall be in awe if I ever saw "Now 1000" or what would it be like in 2050/60 if we are still here and talking about them decades being similar to the 1960s or 70s uh!!?
