Now Parlez II

Following the success of Now Parlez, Steveandjulianfromoffthechart’s irreverent look at the first ever Now That’s What I Call Music album last month, they’re back to cast an eye over volume 2! Join them for 70 minutes of music and chat as they pick tracks from the album and play them from the original vinyl – pops, clicks and jumps included. What were the most and least successful singles included on the album? What was the token cool track? Who elbowed their way onto side one despite not even reaching the top twenty? All this and more in Now Parlez II!

You also get access to the exclusive Virtual CD Of The Month, the weekly extended deluxe edition of Off The Chart and the additional show Further Off The Chart every ten weeks, and you’ll be supporting Sound of the Crowd and the artists who make the music we play. Can’t be bad, right?
