The very first Now album was released in November 1983, back when such compilations of current hits were relatively rare. It was released on vinyl and audio cassette, with a re-release on CD in 2009 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the album. So what was the tracklisting? Plenty of Smooth favourites, a bit of a duffer side two and all the Limahl/Kajagoogoo you could wish for, it seems... Side 1: 1. Phil Collins - 'You Can't Hurry Love'
