Now That's What I Call Music - 25 years and 70 editions on

Warning, the following sentence could make you feel very old.

Today marks the release of Now 70 - the latest chart-hits compilation that originally launched as Now That's What I Call Music back in 1983.

Wow - 70 double-albums (plus many spin-off 'best of the decade' compilations) and 25 years: that's some franchise.

As someone who bought the very first Now (on double-cassette, no less), I've been thinking back at how much - or little - things have changed in that time.
