NOW Music is releasing the latest in its ‘Yearbook’ series with a brand new 1982 edition. 

Due February 4, the set is available as a very limited 44-track translucent yellow 3-LP set, 84 track standard CD and a limited special edition CD housed in ‘hard-back book’ packaging.

It features 16 of the year’s No. 1 hits, including Eye Of The Tiger (Survivor), Ebony And Ivory (Paul McCartney), House Of Fun (Madness), Town Called Malice (The Jam), Pass The Dutchie (Musical Youth), and 1982’s biggest seller Come On Eileen from Dexys Midnight Runners.

The 84-track 4-CD set features 16 of the year’s number 1s, including ‘Eye Of The Tiger’ (Survivor), ‘Ebony And Ivory’ (Paul McCartney), ‘House Of Fun’ (Madness), ‘Town Called Malice’ (The Jam), ‘Pass The Dutchie’ (Musical Youth), and 1982’s biggest seller ‘Come On Eileen’ from Dexys Midnight Runners.

1982 saw the first huge hits from a wealth of new artists including Culture Club, Wham! and Tears For Fears, along with new cuts from Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, ABC, Adam Ant, Haircut 100, Soft Cell, The Human League, and more.

As ABBA released their last singles for nearly 40 years, pure-pop from Bucks Fizz, Dollar, Tight Fit, Modern Romance and Kim Wilde emerged with fresh recordings, alongside synth-pop gems from New Order, Simple Minds, Visage and Japan.

Leading artists from the punk scene enjoyed continued and renewed success, including The Stranglers, The Clash and Pretenders, whilst Foreigner, Meat Loaf with Cher, and Steve Miller Band provided radio-favourite rock and power ballads.

Meanwhile, 1982 saw a huge chart presence for dance music – from the hi-NRG of Boys Town Gang and Sylvester, to the electro-infused beats of Malcolm McLaren, and Rockers Revenge, the 1980’s disco of Shalamar, Kool & The Gang and Imagination alongside soul classics from Marvin Gaye, Fat Larry’s Band, Donna Summer, and a return to the charts for Dionne Warwick. 

Stellar ballads from Elton John, Lionel Richie, and Roxy Music also feature. 

‘NOW – Yearbook 1982’ is available to pre-order on CD (including limited edition variant) and limited-edition vinyl.
