Now Parlez 12

Now Parlez 12

It’s episode 12 of Now Parlez, our ongoing series in which Steve and Julian from Off The Chart take a look at the early Now That’s What I Call Music albums and play some tracks from an original vinyl copy. Our examination of volume 12 takes place in two locations at once thanks to the ongoing global crisis, but we still manage to discover how the smallest hit on the album was its performer’s biggest US hit of the ’80s, how the compilers of Now 12 accidentally helped out Hits 8, and what happens when a famous American musician gets metricated. Hit PLAY to join the madness!
