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 40 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. Available as a stunning 3LP vinyl collection, pressed in a different colour for each disc; blue, white and red, and housed in a tri-fold sleeve that features a track-by-track guide.
