Now Yearbook 81- #LP

NOW Music is proud to present this addition to the 'Yearbook' series with 85 tracks that defined the charts in 1981. Kicking off with legendary No. 1s from Queen and David Bowie, disc 1 is packed with classics that represent the influx of new artists that dominated that year. Disc 2 opens with 'Imagine' - a No. 1 nearly 10 years after it was first released, in the wake of John Lennon's tragic death. Huge ballads from Roxy Music, Pretenders, and REO Speedwagon are featured along-side the biggest selling track of the year in the U.S. from Kim Carnes with 'Bette Davis Eyes'. Disc 3 presents a sublime mix of ballads, pure pop, rock n roll revivalism, party floor-fillers, and easy listening. The final disc in this collection features more new artists who saw their first chart success in 1981 including Haircut 100, ABC, Altered Images and Landscape.
