1983 was the year when NOW's story began, and in 2021, we launched our 'Yearbook' series. It was an amazing year for pop music. The first 'Yearbook' and the '80 - 84 Final' featured a great selection of that year's hits, mostly the bigger chart - toppers. But there's more to 1983 than just the chart - busters. We're shining a light on singles that are less - compiled over the past 40 years. Welcome to the THE VAULT for 1983! The tracks here have diverse chart fates: some were Top 40 hits, some missed the chart, and some were huge in the U.S. but not in the U.K. All are part of the 1983 pop story. This 3 - LP set contains 45 tracks, pressed on beautiful translucent red vinyl. LP1 has synth and pop gems from well - known artists like Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark, Blancmange, and more. It also features electronic club tracks and a live instrumental. LP2 starts with indie - pop singles from Bauhaus and others, includes some U.S. indie - pop, and has electro - dance floor - fillers. LP3 focuses on U.S. chart - success singles, with collaborations and hits from various bands. It closes with soundtrack singles from big movies. NOW Yearbook – The Vault: 1983 is a continued celebration of this magical pop year!
Using this 3 - LP set is easy. Just grab a record player, place the LP gently on the turntable, and start the needle at the beginning of the groove. Enjoy the 45 amazing tracks that take you back to the magical year of 1983. When handling the LPs, make sure your hands are clean to avoid getting dirt on the vinyl. Also, be careful not to scratch the surface. Store the LPs in a cool, dry place, and keep them upright in a record holder. This will help preserve the sound quality and the beautiful translucent red vinyl for years to come. If you notice any dust on the LPs, use a soft, anti - static brush to clean them before playing.
