Back in The Eighties

One of the most popular new wave bands of the early '80s, the British group ABC built upon the detached, synthesized R&B pop of David Bowie and Roxy Music, adding a self-conscious, campy sense of theatrics and style. Under the direction of vocalist Martin Fry, the group scored several catchy, synth-driven dance-pop hits in the early '80s, including "Poison Arrow," "Look of Love," and "Be Near Me."

Country music’s first supergroup comprised of four stalwarts of the genre: Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Kris Kristofferson. The Highwaymen were active for a decade spanning 1985 to 1995 recording three major label albums including a debut number one single, title track “Highwaymen”. This 3 CD and DVD set takes in their legendary live show at Nassau Coliseum, New York 1990 across two discs and a third CD of tracks from live appearances at Farm Aid Festivals. The DVD features the full length, previously unreleased concert film recorded live at Nassau Coliseum, transferred from the original reels especially for this collection.

At PTG Records we noticed that there are several really searched disco funk 12 inches from Italy which have not been released on CD yet. This project made us very enthusiastic, and therefore we started to release this first volume of our new compilation series! Just a selection of a couple of tracks of this compilation: What to think of “The Armed Gang”. The original album is hard to find, but this 12 inch “Love Shot” (not on the album) released on Musix is even more rare. In the track “Trance – Hang on it” you can easily recognize the great vocals of Orlando Johnson (of which we also released the album “Turn the music on”). Other great tracks are “George Aaron – Silly reason” and the heavily searched “Korja – My mind” and “Metropole – Miss Manhattan”.

G Stands For Go-Betweens Volume Two extensively documents the band’s creative output in the latter half of the Eighties in an ambitious box containing four albums over five LPs, five compact discs and an extensive 112 page book, featuring a trove of archival photos and extensive historical liner notes from founding member Robert Forster, along with additional pieces from guest essayists, fans and contemporaries.

NOW Music is proud to present NOW That’s What I Call USA: The 80s – 4CDs packed with 79 massive U.S. hits – Whilst some were big hits on both sides of the Atlantic, we shine a spotlight on huge hits from America at the time, that have gone on to be as legendary in the UK as they were in the US.

Despite the inclusion of Don't it make my brown eyes blue, this is a very upbeat album, full of optimism and happiness. The big international hit is the only sad song here, although it blends in well with the rest of the album. Many of the other songs are originals. My favorites are River road, All I wanna do in life and the title track, but all of them are brilliant. There are at least two covers. The oldest song here (It's all right with me) is by Cole Porter despite being sometimes credited to Irving Berlin. Green door was a fifties pop hit in the USA for Jim Love and in the UK for Frankie Vaughn. It was revived by Shakin' Stevens in the eighties. This was a brilliant album when first released and still sounds brilliant today.
