Description
In 1985, NOW Music released ‘NOW Dance: The 12” Mixes’,
a 20-track compilation that included the extended or remix versions of some of the biggest recent hits and popular club tracks.
This was followed a year later by a second 20-track volume, and in 1989, a third…
NOW Music proudly present ‘NOW Dance – The 80s’; a selection of 26 tracks that appeared on those three original ‘NOW Dance’ albums – all in their 12”, extended or remixed versions across a 3LP set, pressed on red vinyl.
From the first (1985) ‘NOW Dance’ release – Philip Bailey & Phil Collins’ #1 smash ‘Easy Lover’ kicks off the album, with The Power Station, Eurythmics, Stephen Tin Tin Duffy, and Belouis Some following.
Up next are huge chart & club hits from Loose Ends, Cool Notes, and the classic ‘Solid’ from Ashford & Simpson, before making way for a stellar line-up from the next ‘NOW Dance’ – from 1986.
