NOW - Yearbook 1992 (CD)

Product Information

Roy Orbison had a posthumous Top 10 hit, and Richard Marx had a huge track with ‘Hazard’… Texas, Mr Big, Sophie B.

With the benefit of hindsight we can see that 1992 is a great big pop intersection where 80s pop stars are wondering what they need do to stay relevant, new pop/rock acts are establishing themselves and the dance scene is still thriving. Queen are represented by solo offerings from Freddie Mercury and Brian May and this ‘Extra’ set offers us tracks from Tori Amos, Dina Carrol, Sophie B.

With some re-jigging they could have then fitted the 1992 Remix of Simple Minds' Love Song instead of the 1981 original that's included here.

Prince also had two top 10 UK hits in ’92 (‘Sexy MF and ‘My Name Is Prince’), while Madonna had three (‘This Used To Be My Playground’, ‘Erotica’ and ‘Deeper and Deeper’) but their absence is less surprising. NOW Music is proud to present 60 more essential gems from the incredible year in Pop that was 1992 with NOW – Yearbook Extra 1992. Now’s first yearbook venture into the 1990’s and it’s an interesting if not the most exciting year to launch with.That was one of only 13 chart-toppers in Britain in 1992 and a creditable nine are included in Yearbook ’92.
