Another August release, Now 7 features a further eclectic selection of chart hits.

There really is something for everyone here; including a bonus track on certain copies of the 3rd side.  Again, the fourth side is perhaps the weakest, although it does feature Nu Shooz and their classic, I Can’t Wait.  Having said that, side 2 starts with Chris De Burgh’s The Lady in Red… pass the sick bucket…
