In celebration of one of the most dynamic and diverse periods in music history, NOW presents 'NOW That’s What I Call An Era: The Sound Of The Suburbs' – a special edition 4-CD compilation featuring 80 tracks from 1977 to 1980. This collection captures the rich musical evolution of the era, spanning punk, new wave, reggae, ska, mod, and electronic genres that paved the way for the early 1980s pop revolution. Highlights include The Clash's iconic 'London Calling', The Ramones' punk classics, Iggy Pop, The Jam, and The Boomtown Rats' chart-topping 'Rat Trap'. The Undertones deliver a defining anthem, while Siouxsie And The Banshees begin their influential hit streak. Early breakthroughs from The Cure, Joy Division, Blondie, Squeeze, The Pretenders, and Adam & The Ants showcase the era's creative explosion. Disc 2 opens with The Members' 'The Sound Of The Suburbs', followed by punk energy from The Stranglers, The Ruts, The Runaways, and more. Patti Smith's 'Because The Night', Joe Jackson, Elvis Costello, and Jonathan Richman appear with signature self-penned tracks. The Tom Robinson Band, Dr. Feelgood, Generation X, and The Skids bring anthemic power, closing with Sham 69 and The Dickies' fun take on the 'Banana Splits' theme.
