s‘I’m Your Man’, ‘Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves’, Eurythmics collaboration with Aretha Franklin, Tears For Fears’ Head Over Heels, Howard Jones’‘Look Mama’, Go West’s Don’t Look Down (The Sequel), Thompson Twins’‘Don’t Mess With Doctor Dream’ and many more. s‘The Edge of Heaven’, two superb chart-toppers and also offers a pair of tracks from new sensation a-ha in ‘The Sun Always Shines On TV’ (which out-charted ‘Take On Me’ in the UK) and ‘I’ve Been Losing You’, the first single from their second album Scoundrel Days. Putting the sleeves to one side, which to me just seems all a bit lazy (why couldn't they do a nice job of a gatefold at least) - it's the compiling of these albums which I have the issue with.Mid-1980s Synth and Pop from Howard Jones, Nik Kershaw, Red Box, Scritti Politti and Stephen Duffy follow – as does the debut ‘Election Day’ from Duran Duran side project Arcadia. I'm really quite enjoying these latest Now series, and have picked up a copy of all years released so far on vinyl. As is often the way, these compilations serve as a reminder of quite how much great pop was delivered in any 12-month period, and 1986 is no exception.
