About this deal
A series of compilation video games (for the Commodore 64, among other home computers) were released in the mid-1980s by Virgin Games with the name Now Games. [ citation needed]
Sometimes considered a spin-off, video releases, including video cassette editions of many early Now! compilations, and (more recently) yearly DVD video releases.EMI were a label on all volumes. Until Now 75, the logo they used was simply the "EMI" logo. From that volume onwards, "EMI TV"'s logo was used instead.
Due to the Universal Music Group's purchasing of EMI in 2012, a share of the Now albums' rights were transferred over to Sony Music Entertainment (a partner in the original Hits Album brand). [25] UMG used the brand of their catalogue subsidiary Universal Music TV ( UMOD) on the series before reverting to the EMI brand by the 2020s on some of the Now spin-offs [20] like Now Yearbook ’83 Extra, [26] Now That’s What I Call Christmas [27] and the re-issued Now That’s What I Call Music 10.
