1986 ‘various artists’ compilation Now That’s What I Call Music 8 will be issued as a two-CD set for the first time later this month.

Issued in November 1986, just three months after number seven, Now 8 was a massive seller, going quadruple platinum in the UK and reaching number one in the charts. They actually all reached number one (except for Now 4) until the rules were changed to exclude compilations from the ‘main’ album chart (Now 13 was the last chart-topper, fact fans).

Now 8 contained “32 top chart hits” (a 17-track CD was also released) and is a decent compilation, starting particularly strongly with Duran Duran‘s transatlantic top ten hit ‘Notorious’ and the remix of Pet Shop Boys ‘Suburbia’ – the fourth, and final single from ‘Please’.

Other popular hits of the day include Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush‘s ‘Don’t Give Up’ (Gabriel’s second consecutive appearance on a ‘Now’), Run DMC‘s ‘Walk This Way’, the Communards‘ ‘Don’t Leave Me This Way’, Swing Out Sister‘s ‘Breakout’, Steve Winwood‘s ‘Higher Love’, Cameo‘s ‘Word Up’, The Cutting Crew‘s ‘(I Just) Died In Your Arms’ and Robert Palmer‘s ‘I Didn’t Mean To Turn You On’.

I’d argue that this set is the last compilation in the series that still feels (more or less) like classic, high-quality, diverse ‘Eighties’ pop music. Subsequent sets still have their moments, of course, but as dance music (Steve ‘Silk’ Hurley, M/A/R/R/S etc.) and Stock-Aitken-Waterman productions creep in, the tone shifts and perhaps some ‘magic’ is lost.
