Because apparently retirement is just a suggestion, the music industry is still cranking out new editions of old hits. And honestly, who can blame them? We’re still buying it. The latest installment of this glorious exercise in nostalgia is NOW That’s What I Call An Era …One More Time 1996>2007, a collection of era-defining hits that will make you wonder where the last few decades went. Featuring a veritable who’s who of 90s and early 2000s pop, including Britney Spears, Spice Girls, Take That, and many more, this compilation is the perfect opportunity to relive the magic of low-rise jeans, flip phones, and listening to music on actual physical formats.
The Never-Ending Story of Re-Releases
The folks at NOW That’s What I Call Music are offering Classic Pop readers the chance to win a copy of each format, because one is never enough. The winner will receive not one, not two, but three versions of this masterpiece: a 48-track 3LP pressed on beautiful pink, green, and blue vinyl, an 84-track Standard 4CD, and an 84-track Special Edition 4CD with a 28-page booklet featuring notes on every featured song. Because what’s a deluxe edition without a booklet, am I right? Somewhere, a record label executive felt a disturbance in the royalties, and this was the result.
The compilation itself is a time capsule of pop’s greatest hits, with chart-topping favorites from Christina Aguilera, All Saints, Boyzone, and many more sitting alongside unforgettable pop classics from A*Teens, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, and Hanson. It’s like a musical timestamp of a bygone era, when the only thing we had to worry about was what to wear to the school disco. The farewell tour count has officially entered scientific notation, and yet we still can’t get enough of these tunes.
A Vinyl Pressing Plant’s Dream Come True
The 48-track 3LP version is a vinyl collector’s dream, with its beautiful pink, green, and blue vinyl that will make your record shelf look like a rainbow exploded on it. A vinyl pressing plant somewhere just burst into tears of joy when they received the order for this behemoth of a release. The remaster economy remains undefeated, and we’re not complaining. In fact, we’re embracing it with open arms and a healthy dose of nostalgia.
