Could someone please create a listing for the 2024 release. I wouldn't know where to start. It's been out a while now
-
Four tracks are missing from the forthcoming July 30 2024 re-issue :
Steve Miller Band - The Joker
Phil Collins - Something Happened On The Way To Heaven
INXS - Suicide Blonde
Bass-O Matic - Fascinating Rhythm
If the 2024 release contains the wrong mixes of the other tracks remains to be seen. -
Now 18 was released in November 1990, over a week before Thatcher left Downing Street. I got it for Christmas that year.
Compact Disc 1
1. The Beautiful South - A Little Time: Great duet.
2. The Steve Miller Band - The Joker: Great song from the 70s, back in the charts following Levi's.
3. Elton John - Sacrifice: Elton's first solo number one, great track.
4. Roxette - It Must Have Been Love: Great song from 'Pretty Woman'.
5. Phil Collins - Something Happened on the Way to Heaven: Great track.
6. Wilson Phillips - Hold On: Great song.
7. Sinead O'Connor - Nothing Compares 2 U: Great song written by Prince; should have been on Now 17 as it was a hit in February.
8. The Righteous Brothers - Unchained Melody: Great song back in the charts following the film 'Ghost'.
9. Belinda Carlisle - (We Want) The Same Thing: Great song from Belinda.
10. Status Quo - Anniversary Waltz (Part 1): Great rock and roll medley in the style of Jive Bunny; I actually prefer Part 2.
11. INXS - Suicide Blonde: Another great track from INXS.
12. Public Image Ltd. - Don't Ask Me: Great song.
13. Talk Talk - It's My Life: Great synth track.
14. The La's - There She Goes: Great track from John Power's pre-Cast band.
15. Tina Turner - Be Tender With Me Baby: Great song.
16. Robert Palmer and UB40 - I'll Be Your Baby Tonight: Great cover of Bob Dylan.
Compact Disc 2
1. Pet Shop Boys - So Hard: Great song.
2. Bass-O-Matic - Fascinating Rhythm: Great early track from William Orbit.
3. Soul II Soul (Vocal: Kym Mazelle) - Missing You: Great song.
4. DNA feat Suzanne Vega - Tom's Diner: Great track.
5. Sting - An Englishman In New York: Great dance remix.
6. The Cure - Close to Me: Great remix.
7. Neneh Cherry - I've Got You Under My Skin: Great cover.
8. Blue Pearl - Little Brother: Great song.
9. Kylie Minogue - Step Back in Time: Great track.
10. Kim Appleby - Don't Worry: Great song.
11. Technotronic - Megamix: Great medley.
12. Bombalurina - Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini: Hilarious cover.
13. Betty Boo - Where Are You Baby: Great song.
14. Adventures of Stevie V - Dirty Cash (Money Talks): Great dance track.
15. MC Hammer - Have You Seen Her: Great rap cover of the Chi-Lites.
16. Jimmy Somerville - To Love Somebody: Great cover of the Bee Gees.
Another great album, though there are still some tracks that missed out:
Partners in Kryme - Turtle Power
Maria McKee - Show Me Heaven
The Stone Roses - One Love
Deee-Lite - Groove Is in the Heart
Go West - King of Wishful Thinking
The KLF feat The Children of the Revolution - What Time Is Love
Englandneworder - World In Motion
Londonbeat - I've Been Thinking About You
George Michael - Praying For Time
Mariah Carey - Vision of Love
Soul II Soul - A Dream's a Dream
Cliff Richard - Silhouettes
The Farm - Groovy Train -
Always felt this was an underrated Now album. Side 2 is a bit suspect but we get six number ones and the dance/pop stuff on sides 3 and 4 is great. Things would go downhill for a bit from here with Now 19 and 20 before some redemption from 21 and 22.
