The 1986 compilation is released on CD for the first . The compilation was originally issued in August 1986 and was a reasonably strong outing featuring hits of the day such as Peter Gabriel's 'Sledgehammer', the Pet Shop Boys 'Opportunities (Let's Make Lots of Money)', Wham!'s last single 'The Edge of Heaven', Bowie's 'Absolute Bners', a-ha's 'Hunting High and Low', Simply Red's 'Holding Back The Years' and 'bonus track' Queen's 'A Kind of Magic'.

There's also plenty of top quality one-hit-wonders of the era too, such as Owen Paul's 'My Favourite Waste of ', Stan Ridgeway's 'Camouflage', Furniture's 'Brilliant Mind' and Nu Shooz's 'I Can't Wait'.

Three tracks are missing from this reissue: David Bowie's 'Absolute Bners', 'On My Own' (Patti Labelle And Michael McDonald) and The Real Roxanne's Bang Zoom (Let's Go Go). Disappointing and one presumes we can expect the usual sloppiness, where proper single versions are replaced by album cuts. The 'Now' team have ignored constant feedback about this from fans. Nevertheless, an essential purchase if you've been buying the others.

Now 7 is released on 27 November 2020 (was 20 Nov).
