Comment:

I have finally managed to convince everybody I know that record tokens are all I really want in the way of birthday presents. The core of this mix is made from records purchased with record tokens recieved on my last birthday. Note for non UK residents:
The title refers to a long standing series of UK compilations of recent hits that go by the name Now That's What I Call Music and a catch phrase (Now Then, Now Then) used by Jimmy Saville, an English DJ/TV personality whose picture is on the sleeve.

a VERY VERY welcome return, & a very triumphant way to do so. this is tremendous - the smiths, tom waits, pink floyd, arctic monkeys & rufus wainwright tracks are my personal favorites. i'd actually love to hear this, if you get a chance to throw a link up?
