Kim Wilde on ‘Now Yearbook 82’

Now That’s What I Call Music started in the early 1980’s as a great series of compilation albums featuring the biggest hits of that time. Last year, they started releasing ‘Yearbook’ editions, starting with 1983 and 1984. And now they’ve actually gone back to the year 1982 with the newest Yearbook compilation. Of course, Kim also makes an appearance on this collection. ‘View from a Bridge’ appears alongside 83 other tracks from one of the best years in pop. (The 3LP version presents a selection of 44 tracks.)

The 4CD set is available as a hardcover casebound book set, and as a slightly cheaper non-deluxe set. A three LP version on yellow vinyl is also available.

You can pre-order the special edition CD here, the translucent yellow vinyl 3LP here and the standard 4CD here.
