Hi,
You are looking at a genuine UK double 12 inch LP record/vinyl of,
'Now That's What I Call Music'
This is the original and first NOW album in the popular series, which was released in the United Kingdom in 1983!
Now 1, features thirty songs. Eleven of which reached number one on the UK Singles Chart: "You Can't Hurry Love" "Is There Something I Should Know?", "Red Red Wine", "Give It Up", "Total Eclipse of the Heart", "Karma Chameleon", "Too Shy", "Down Under", "Baby Jane", "Wherever I Lay My Hat (That's My Home)" and "Candy Girl".
The cover and records are in good condition, especially considering their age (20 years).
The cover has slight wear on each of the corners, but no rips or cuts.
The records look in good shiny condition.
Brilliant, reminisce and watch the original UK TV adverts for the album.
Buy it now from Woolworth, Tesco, Martin(?)

The first Now! compilation appeared in 1983 and collected thirty UK hit singles from that year on a double vinyl LP
or cassette. The concept of a compilation of recent hit singles was not new; Ronco and K-tel had been issuing single-disc collections since the early 1970s).
However, by spreading tracks across two discs instead of one, the Now! series was able to achieve better sound quality (tracks were often edited to fit a running time on K-Tel and Ronco single disc compilations). In addition, since the albums were a collaboration between major record companies, a greater number of major hits could be included (the first album in the series boasted of "11 number ones" on its sleeve, something previously unheard-of).
The album went to number one and soon had a major rival in CBS/WEA's The Hits Album which adopted
a similar format to Now! The two series co-existed for the rest of the 1980s.
The sheer longevity and ubiquity of the Now! series in the UK has led to its becoming something of a cultural icon. Many people now collect the albums as a series,
something made easier by the fact that the series was a hit from the start.
