NOW to reissue 1983 and 1984 Yearbooks
By Classic Pop | July 20, 2023
NOW – Yearbook 1983 and NOW – Yearbook 1984 were first released in June and October 2021 respectively, with the 3LP vinyl and 4CD 28-page hardback book editions quickly selling out.
NOW Music has now announced that the vinyl, in a black variant, and the hardback book sets have been repressed and are available from the 18Â August while stocks last.
Celebrating the first year of NOW That’s What I Call Music!, NOW – Yearbook 1983 is a stellar selection of 1983’s biggest and best hits.Â
1983 saw British artists achieving unprecedented success across the world with ‘Every Breath You Take’ from The Police being the year’s biggest seller in the U.S., and ‘Karma Chameleon’ from Culture Club being the top seller in the U.K. Breakthrough acts, achieving their first big hits – all here – include a staggering line-up of future superstars; U2, Eurythmics, Wham!, Paul Young, The Style Council, and Thompson Twins, to name a few.Â
1984 was another classic 12 months for pop with the decade’s four biggest sellers all released this year. NOW – Yearbook 1984 reflects this period with No.1s from Lionel Richie, Chaka Khan, Duran Duran, Frankie Goes To Hollywood and George Michael (solo and with Wham!), together with hits from U2, Spandau Ballet, and Deniece Williams.
