Notes: The UK's hugely successful Now... series (the idea was later exported to the US) brought together the hits of the day. Two Trevor Horn (co-)productions are featured here. (Horn also worked on other tracks on the album Flowers in the Dirt, but not the one chosen from the album for inclusion here, "My Brave Face".) (HP, 2 Apr 06)
