Why are we doing this?

On 8th November 2023 David Buck Tweeted (on Bluesky but we are claiming it as a verb)

Very tempted to ask my sister if she still has her Now 6 tape still.

Claire Moriarty responded

I have the original Now vinyl record somewhere – but I am very old …

At this point I jumped in

I had Now (1) it was a classic www.radiox.co.uk/features/wha… also the rival Hits (1) from 1984 which was ultimately not as successful a brand

Who is joining in?

Just me so far, I have asked for more people though

OK, pitch, we listen to to a Now album for a week and talk about it on here. From now until 17th November Now (1). open.spotify.com/playlist/0SC…, who is in?

Update: It looks like a few more people might be in
