NOW Music is thrilled to present more stellar tracks from the year with ‘NOW – Yearbook Extra 1979’. Would need to manually rip most of the tracks from my vinyl and CD collection as I don’t already have them saved as MP3s. Some great little gems on hear and loving listening to it, bring back some great memories from that time. NOW Yearbook Extra 1979 is a 3 CD (sadly no vinyl for these “extra” releases”) compilation, highlighting an additional 67 tracks from the charts of 1979, and acting as a companion piece to the recently released NOW Yearbook 1979 ( orange vinyl / CD).

Their announcement says “As we move forward to the second half of the 1980s, and we were delighted with the response to the 1979 edition back in September.Disc 2 opens with three Ska/Pop crossover hits from Madness, The Selecter and The Specials, before taking in some Classic Rock including Meat Loaf, Electric Light Orchestra and the collaboration between Gary Moore and Phil Lynott. There’s a number of standard single versions of songs that appear on the recently announced 12″ 70s compilation, including Wings’ ‘Goodnight Tonight’, Cliff Richard’s ‘We Don’t Talk Anymore’ and The B-52’s ‘Rock Lobster’, but that’s hardly an issue.

I wonder what version of Tarzan Boy we’ll get in Yearbook 85, probably the original but in 85 the summer remix was the version we were hearing on the radio and on Now 6. On the other hand, I have plenty suggestions for More Extra Plus volumes for all years 1979-1984 so it probably does come down to what they can easily license. CD1-3 The Boomtown Rats - I Don't Like Mondays erroneously states it is the Album Version (4:16) but is the Single Version with a running time of 3:46. Life in Tokyo by Japan and Electricity from Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark hint at the electronic wave that was starting to crash into the charts, heralding the eventual new romantic movement that followed over the next few years. e. Madonna, Prince, David Bowie), the whole point is to gather up the tracks that Now cannot or will not licence.The compilation really does illustrate the variety of the era, with ska/pop crossover hits, classic rock tracks, new wave post-punk selections, dancefloor numbers and even rap, with The Sugerhill Gang’s ‘Rapper’s Delight’. The main collection and now this “extra” companion compilation, collect some of the essential singles from the year, along with some less obvious (and sometimes skippable) tracks to highlight the diversity of the charts in 1979. These often throw up some obscure,long forgotten hits, alongside some of the contenders for the main release.

On that basis, it probably made sense for them to do a mixture of the five years rather than an individual disc for each year – given the dearth of tracks from 1980 and 1981. company owned by Sony Corporation of America from 1991–2004, operated worldwide except in JP)(in 1979) recorded at: Musicland Studios ( Munich) in München, Bayern, Germany(from 1979-03 until 1979-04) recording of: Last Train to London(from 1979-03 until 1979-04) lyricist and composer: Jeff Lynne publisher: EMI April Music Inc.
