Maybe it’s because those years (particularly 85) were great years for pop and even if there were another five extra editions for them, they’d still be missing some classics. NOW is proud to present Yearbook Extra 1985 – 3 CDs featuring 60 more stellar pop moments from 1985. and their I’m Your Man’, disc one continues with the collaboration between Eurythmics and Aretha Franklin, and huge hits from Go West, Tears For Fears, Pat Benatar, and Billy Idol.Their announcement says “As we move forward to the second half of the 1980s, and we were delighted with the response to the 1979 edition back in September.

Hi – Re the 1979 Extra Plus, one or two typos but main issue is Still by the Commodores was on the main 1979 Yearbook (cd4, track 14). Oh, and neither the 7 inch versions of Like Clockwork or Rat Trap by the Boomtown Rats appear anywhere.s ‘I’m Your Man’, ‘Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves’, Eurythmics collaboration with Aretha Franklin, Tears For Fears’ Head Over Heels, Howard Jones’ ‘Look Mama’, Go West’s Don’t Look Down (The Sequel), Thompson Twins’ ‘Don’t Mess With Doctor Dream’ and many more. One important point – if a track from an Extra Plus playlist is subsequently included on a future Yearbook or Extra release, then a substitution will be made.
