A little bit of history!

To date there have been 55(21/07/03) Now music albums. Originally released on LP,Tape & video. The LP's continued until Now 35 and then it was decided to discontinue the vinyl (much to the dissapointment of many collectors - myself included).
The cassette version has continued throughout the series but I think at this stage even its lifespan is numbered.
The first video was released in conjunction with Now 1 and as far as I know stopped at Now 20. At the end of 2001 the visual format was resurrected with the release of NOWDVD2001. The title 2002 seems to have been skipped over for the next dvd release, NOWDVD2003 although its release at the end of '02 means it's more '02 than '03.
The main format(for the moment anyway) is CD although the early releases were not available. First CD release was Now 4 then 8 and has continued from 9 to date. There was a CD only release at the end of 1986 titled NOW86 and not to be confused with either of the other 86 back compilations. This cd has a place in history as been the first cd only compilation to enter the charts. It reached a chart high of 54 and if you have a copy hang onto it as its becoming more and more collectible as time goes by!

After much deliberation I've decided to break this listing into decades as a continuous list would be too long. Just pick a decade below and click!

The 80's The decade that started it all, promised so little and gave so much! Respect long overdue.. From the first Now in 1983 up to Now 16 in 1989
The 90's Britpop, Spicegirls, Grunge and whatever your having yourself... Mmmm? From Now 17 in May 1990 till Now 44 in Dec 1999
