Various Artists - NOW 12" 80s: Part One - 1980-1982 [5LP] (LP Box Set)

Now Music is very proud to announce NOW 12" 80s: Part One - 1980-1982 as a stunning 5LP box set - a limited edition and numbered set with each of the LPs pressed in a different transparent coloured vinyl - red, yellow, green, blue and purple - to be released on 6th December 2024.

In 2023 we began our '80s 12" series on CD - a year by year journey through the decade with each release presenting a fantastic selection of 12" versions from that year... and we are now very excited to present 44 12", extended or remixed versions from the years 1980-1982 as our first round-up on vinyl - and for many tracks this marks the first time back on wax since their original release!
