Product Information

Originally, the series captured extended 12" mixes of dance hits of the time, but from 1991 onwards, all Now Dance compilations featured 7" edits with only occasional extended versions or mixes included. The Now Yearbook series continues both forwards, with Now Yearbook 1985 issued in November 2022, and backwards, with the release of Now Yearbook 1979 in September 2022 (an Extra followed in October). The Now Yearbook series also releases a vinyl selection of its primary release, with an Extra round-up vinyl boxset featuring tracks from the CD-only series, released at the end of 2022.

A standard 4-CD version is also issued in a gatefold "wallet" design, which retails cheaper than the mini-hardback books. UK rap hits from Bad Boy Chiller Crew and Tion Wayne x La Roux feature, alongside dance-pop from Ava Max and Steps.
