I still have a copy of NOW 16 on double cassette in my drawer at work. That was my first one.

Now 7 on cassette, which I still have and still listen to! Along with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6, acquired over the years.

I got them all religiously between 7 - 22, after which I finally conceded that I disliked far more songs than I'd liked on the last few.

Now 7 Contains one of the best songs of 1986, sadly forgotten these days - 'I Can't Wait' by Nu Shooz. I've seen youngsters comment on Youtube that its beat is 'sick', which I understand is a term of approval.

Now 42. I picked it up as a 7 year old and begged my mum to buy it, not knowing what was actually on it. I recently found it again, it has songs such as Stronger by Britney Spears and Samantha Mumba - Body II Body as well as a solo song by Mel B.

40. It had such songs as The Grease Megamix, Viva Forever and Dr. Jones on it! Sadly disc 1 got scratched to buggery and no longer works .

Not sure what number in the series it was but I remember it featured Boys by Sabrina (that's the song that prompted me to buy it! )

...I take it we're not talking because of the video

Twas Now 12 - one of my favourites, with lots of cool summery songs like the Nanas 'I Want You Back' and Natalie Cole's 'Pink Cadillac'

Favourite song from '88 Russ. I still have Natalie Cole's "Everlasting" album

(And no, Sabrina's video did nothing for me but I remember my dad's eyes almost popping out when it was playing on TOTP!)

I had NOW 5 for my 11th birthday in 1985 - wasn't over impressed with most of the tracks. looking at the tracklisting now I see why, I only liked

1.Duran Duran : "A View to a Kill"
2.Scritti Politti : "The Word Girl"
3.Harold Faltermeyer : "Axel F"
6.Stephen 'Tintin' Duffy : "Icing on the Cake"
1.Sister Sledge : "Frankie"
2.Mai Tai : "History"
5.Jaki Graham : "Round and Around"
3.Katrina And The Waves : "Walking On Sunshine"

8 out of 30....a lot of my fave early 85 songs are missing.

The first 20 albums.
I've got most of them on cassette but the tape gets too tight as they are double albums.

I've also got them as mp3s. They always remind me of the 80s.

Now 32, which I think was summer 95

Now 1 on vinyl. Wish I still had it, probably worth a bit now
Mass produced compilation album, worth absolutely nothing.

I've got it in mint condition vinyl, be lucky if I could get a pint for it.

Probably not actually. What IS worth money is the first Now cd.....Now 4.

Now 7 on cassette, which I still have and still listen to!
Snap! I bought it on cassette, too, although I can't think for the life of me why. I don't like most of the songs on there and the few I do like I had already bought as singles. Strange.

My sister got now 27 when we were kids, and she would get each one then as they came out.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Now_Tha..._27_(UK_series)

We nearly wore out now 29 that Christmas!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Now_Tha..._29_(UK_series)
Now 31 was my favourite though.

The first one I actually bought myself was Now 34 and I actually hated it, it sucked.
