"..... "Now That's What I Call Music" or "Now 1" is the first ever album from the popular Now! series that was released in the United Kingdom in 1983. Initial pressings were released only on vinyl and audio cassette  ....."

".....  The first Now! Album, boasted an impressive 11 number one singles and was a collection of thirty tracks from that year, released on double vinyl LP and cassette. The repertoire was entirely original and unlike some of it’s competitors none of the music was edited to fit the running time – hence the need to spread the album over two discs.......The idea for the phenomenon that is the Now That’s What I Call Music! series was born in the Virgin Records offices of Richard Branson in Vernon Yard, just off Portobello Road.......It was the brain-child of the then Head of Licensing and Business Affairs at Virgin Records – Stephen Navin (Virgin 1979 – 1990) and Jon Webster (General Manager 1983 – 1988).......A collection that would include original versions and none of the watered down edits that were rife on their competitor albums. ....."

"Now That's What I Call Music" is still going strong to this day Now 93 (with 44 tracks) was released just recently in March 2016
