Been collecting the NOW Yearbook's too, mainly interested in the one's from 1973-1989.

Like others have noted, I cannot understand why Mute don't licence Depeche Mode and Erasure tracks.

Depeche, Erasure, Rolling Stones, Madonna, Prince, Bowie and Epic Records era Michael Jackson. It's kind of always been the way with Madonna and MJ but Depeche and Erasure regularly appeared on the numbered NOW compilations back in the day so it must be a recent licensing issue.
is is and isnt isnt
