NOW Music is very proud to present the second of our 'Now That's What I Call An Era' releases. 'The Albums 1980 > 1984' celebrates 72 iconic albums that were released between 1980 and 1984, featuring a magnificent track from each - and none of them UK hit singles! Most of the albums being highlighted produced huge hit singles that have become both synonymous with the decade and enduringly popular - but these albums are of such a high quality - forever part of the artist's legacy - that other tracks could have equally become hits - and some have become as well-loved by fans as the singles, and have for many artists always been an established part of their live shows. This 72-track 4CD comes with a 'hardback book' that includes a 28-page booklet featuring a track-by-track guide. 72 fantastic tracks - a sampler of the iconic albums that represent an incredible period of creativity and originality.
