There is a torrent featuring every Now That's What I Call Music
Goldmine, I tell you, a goldmine. Especially the really rubbish early 90s ones which are full of passing filler that hasn't been played on the radio since it left the charts. Take, for example, Now 23 disc 2 from November 1992:
Erasure : "Who Needs Love Like That" (Hamburg Mix)
The Shamen : "Ebeneezer Goode"
Rage : "Run to You"
Bizarre Inc featuring Angie Brown : "I'm Gonna Get You"
Heaven 17 : "Temptation" (remix)
East 17 : "House of Love"
The Farm : "Don't You Want Me"
Undercover : "Never Let Her Slip Away"
Dr Spin : "Tetris"
Ambassadors of Funk and MC Mario : "Supermarioland"
Roxette : "How Do You Do!"
ABBA : "Dancing Queen"
Björn Again : "A Little Respect"
Vanessa Paradis : "Be My Baby"

Sophie B Hawkins : "Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover"
Peter Gabriel : "Digging in the Dirt"

^brilliant!
now if only someone could give me an idiots guide to using "Torrents" instead of relying on Lime/Froswire
hold up
East 17 did a cover of "west end girls".....in 93!?!?! Srsly....
It's much as you'd imagine

It's fairly straight forward
Just download a torrent client, e.g. http://www.utorrent.com/ then go to a torrent site e.g. Pirate Bay, search for what you want, then download the torrent file from the page. Open it in utorrent, voila. I'm sure there's plenty of FAQs around.
but but but
that oui 3 song is pretty rockin though
Vanessa Paradis' Be My Baby
is not only a great tune, but the highlight of Lenny Kravitz career
the best thing about this
is that you actually downloaded it :D
Not all of it, obviously
I can't just waste 9Gb on anything. Nobody needs that many early 90s commercial dance crossover hits and SAW-produced Cliff Richard.
disc 2 of now complilations was always better
ALWAYS!
i was going to say
worse.
Bizarre Inc are now called Chicken Lips
or at least they share a member or two.
Actually, Now 20's ace
It opens with Vic Reeves & The Wonder Stuff and Belinda Carlisle; Zoë's Sunshine on a Rainy Day (makes my soul, makes my soul drift drift drift awayeyayay), Color Me Badd, Kenny Thomas, The Justified Ancients Of Mu Mu's It's Grim Up North (thought you'd deleted all trace of your work, Drummond?), Julian Lennon's horrible Saltwater, Jason Donovan doing a song from Joseph And His Amazing Technocolour Dreamcoat when he was in it for a bit and a fantastic closing triumverate of:
Slade : "Radio Wall of Sound"
Monty Python : "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life"
Don McLean : "American Pie (Full Length Version)"
Now, someone needs to get working on its obvious follow-up, and they'll need this for help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shine_(Compilation_series)
fessing
i think i have all the shines on cd bar maybe shine too (sic)
oh dear
my manager
owns every single NOW compilation (mostly on cassette), and keeps them ordered on a shelf in the stockroom. true.
