Review: For those of you of a certain age, the Now compilations are an immediate shot of nostalgia direct into your bones. They started back in the 80s and kept going well into the new millennium - great sources of fun for current dance and pop hits with occasional dalliances into more specific collections. This one is a 1984 Yearbook that rounds up the very many hits of that year including Ray Parker Jr's 'Ghostbusters,' Philip Oakey & Giorgio Moroder's 'Together In Electric Dreams' and the superb Eurythmics, Annie Lennox & Dave Stewart gem 'Here Comes The Rain Again.' A great reminder of the good old days of pop.

Review: 'Walk Like an Egyptian', 'Funkytown', 'Bette Davis Eyes', 'Physical' - a small selection of legendary songs from this titanic collection of American hits from the 80s that are featured in this compilation. Musicians that have had an international and timeless appeal, influencing modern charting acts to this day like Dua Lipa and even influencing manga artists like Jojo's Bizarre Adventure author Hirohiko Araki, who named characters after bands like R.E.M and AC/DC. There's not much that can be said here that the thousands of litres of ink spilt on icons like Aretha Franklin and Tina Turner - every name here has transcended the traditional pop cycle into household names, almost half a century later. This is a must-grab for the 80s collector, the nostalgic and the uninitiated alike. To call these tracks peak artistry is to put it lightly.
