I have about the first 20 on vinyl, mainly because at the time I was doing a lot of mobile DJ’ing and they were good to have with lots of hits suitable for weddings etc. I am sure I have some on CD too, probably, but they never get played on either format. The Christmas one on vinyl is probably unplayable any way, as it was used again and again at Christmas “gigs”. Those were fun times.Originally Posted by Pigmy Pony
Actually there are "just" 119 Now albums, with number 120 out next month. Though that doesn't include all the variants (Now Christmas, Now 70s, etc). Before you all gang up on me, it's Anita who collects them, and her friend buys and sends her each new release. In her defence, Anita never plays them, she just got caught up in some kind of collectormania. She's still missing about ten.
All CDs, apart from maybe the first dozen or so which she has on vinyl. And she says I have a problem!
I agree they're crap, but especially the last 20 years' worth which are so bad you'd have to leave the room.
She has plenty of duplicates if you're interested Barry

I don’t know why, but I wouldn’t have thought that was your sort of album, Martin. Good choice, though! I may follow suit.

Cheapo second hand blind punt - but I had heard of them.
I have got a bit of that sort of thing, got some Thievery Corporation albums too. Rare, but sometimes I am in the mood for a bit of ambient.

How does it differ from the original UK pressing?

I've not heard an original UK pressing Barry, so I don't know. A touch more dynamic, with vocals more forward in the mix than the UK pressing I had.
