Four CD set. The NOW 12" 80s series is back with NOW 12" 80s: 1982 - Part 2. 1982 was a year of rapid change, both culturally and on the charts, and with too many essential 12 inch singles to all be included on one volume, Part 2 features a further 49 extended, full-length, or remixed versions across four CDs from some of the most innovative and popular artists of the era. This was the year when 12" singles became an essential part of a singles' release, creating a unique experience for fans across all genres from Disco, through New Wave, New Romantic, and to the fresh synth-driven Pop of 1982. Includes tracks by Wham!, Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, Haircut 100, Soft Cell, Visage, Japan, Talk Talk, Simple Minds, Heaven 17, Madness, Fun Boy Three, Monsoon, UB40, Kool & the Gang, Shalamar, The Associates, Blancmange, The Mood, Bananarama, Bow Wow Wow, Altered Images, Thomas Dolby, and many others.
