If you used to buy the Now albums what number was your first one?

[AnAlpacaForChristmasPleaseSanta]

33 for me, brought on double cassette from good old Woolies.

I know they are viewed by many as being deeply uncool but individual albums were way too expensive for me as a pre-teen. I think they featured on all my teen Xmas lists too and I remember the adverts with Mark Goodier doing the voice over.

I still have a very soft spot for them, even though when I occasionally pick one up for a nosy at I have no idea who 99% of the tracklists are, but I don't think I'm their target audience anymore anyway!

Double figures.

The original on vinyl IIRC.

I think mine was Now 44, with Britney Spears hit me baby one more time on it! Pretty sure Shania Twain was track 2 ! I used to love the now albums but generally found disc 2 not as good

@MonsterMunched that narrows it down a bit 😂

It didn’t have a number because it was the first one. On vinyl. Bought it in Woolworths. Got number 2 on tape 😊

Now 24

Off to google the track list...

My Dad has the full collection from Now 1 to today 😊

7, on tape

The first one on vinyl

23, on tape, with the lyrics inside of the booklet, also bought from woolies

Now8 - Christmas’86 on double cassette

I used to love the now albums but generally found disc 2 not as good.

I was exactly the same! Looking back at the tracklists there were some great tracks on disk 2 but maybe I just had to age mature to appreciate them.

Now 57 I think - track one was DJ Sammy Heaven and had the Sugarbabes Round Round. Do they still release them? What number did it reach?

I and 2 on LP

Had Michelle Gayle and Ultimate Kaos and Pato Banton....

Also had Neneh Cherry and Sophie B Hawkins and Lisa Loeb.

😮 wow that is commitment. And also probably worth a fortune!

Had them all in a row from 7-16

Now 29 for me, it had Saturday Night by Whigfield on it. I was 9 and wanted to practise the dance.

It actually had some excellent bangers on it which I discovered later.

I’ve just been googling the old now cds and I’m looking at them thinking disc 2 looked pretty good, not sure why I always thought they were rubbish. I’ll agree it must be down to maturing…!

Still going. Up to 119.

Now 22 was my first and I played it constantly. Absolute bangers all of them.

I worked with someone who owned every NOW album and had never bought or listened to any other music in her life (she was approaching 50)

I had 'Brit Awards 1991' as my first compilation. Queen 'Innuendo' was the first track IIRC.

Didn't start with Now until mid 90's, can't remember the album number now though.

Now 13 and it was awesome!
