My fave tracks on that are Sinful by Pete Wylie and Look Away by Big Country. I found it funny when Owen Paul and his lot found themselves next door to the Osbournes, and Ozzy threw wood through Owen's friend's window after annoying Ozzy and co with their "European dance music".

If only we could find out what these early Now albums sold in total

Stan Ridgeway - Camouflage...Now that was a track. I even owned the 12" of it.

Memories....But not as good as Housemartins - Happy Hour.
