Hi,

Yes thats right, I bought the original, on cassette to play on my Walkman also the original, but sadly don't have either of them anymore I think I wore them out!!!! Funny thing is the only track I absolutely remember being on it was 'Rasberry Beret' by who? (I must be getting old)

You can find all the information you need about the NOW albums on the official site:

http://www.nowmusic.com/

The first NOW album (UK) was released in 1983 and NOW 67 is due to be released on 23rd July 2007.

abbie.s : Raspberry Beret by Prince did not appear on the first NOW album. However, it did appeared on the HITS 3 album / tape which was a rival of the NOW series at the time.
The NOW albums were released by EMI / Virgin Records but the HITS albums were released by WEA / CBS Records.
