Va - Now That-s What I Call 12-- 80s -4cd- -202... -

It looks like you're asking for a write-up on a specific compilation set: "VA - Now That's What I Call 12" 80s - 4CD" (likely released around 202…).

However, I need to point out a few things before providing the write-up:

1. The exact title is incomplete – You have "12-- 80s -4CD- -202..." which may refer to:

   • Now That’s What I Call 12" – 80s (a 4CD set)
   • A 2020 or 2022 reissue/repress of that set
   • Or possibly Now That’s What I Call the 80s (another series)

2. No such official release appears in the main Now! discography – The official Now That’s What I Call Music! series (UK) has many spin-offs like Now That’s What I Call 12" 70s, 80s, 90s, but a 4CD set titled Now That’s What I Call 12" – 80s with that exact numbering may be a bootleg, fan-made, or unofficial release often found on sites like Discogs, eBay, or torrent trackers. VA - Now That-s What I Call 12-- 80s -4CD- -202...

Assuming you are referring to an unofficial 4CD compilation circulating online (c. 2020–2024) focusing on extended 12" remixes of 80s hits, here’s a sample write-up:

CD4: Late 80s Anthems and Rare B-Sides (1988–1990)

• Transition into house and acid house.
• "Ride on Time" (12" Mix) – Black Box
• "Pacific State" (12" Version) – 808 State
• "Back to Life (However Do You Want Me)" (12" Mix) – Soul II Soul
• "Buffalo Stance" (12" Mix) – Neneh Cherry
• "Personal Jesus" (12" Mix) – Depeche Mode

Note: The actual tracklist is subject to licensing. Some iconic 12" mixes (e.g., Michael Jackson's "Thriller" or Madonna's "Into the Groove") are notoriously expensive to license and often absent.

VA – Now That’s What I Call The 80s – 4CD (202…): The Ultimate Nostalgia Trip Gets a Deluxe Upgrade

The Now That’s What I Call Music! franchise needs no introduction. For over four decades, the iconic series has been the benchmark for pop culture compilations. While the main numbered series marches forward, the label has consistently returned to the motherlode: the 1980s. It looks like you're asking for a write-up

The latest rumored/anticipated release—"Now That’s What I Call The 80s" [4CD] —isn't just another rehash. It is a deep-dive, crowd-pleasing mammoth set designed to settle arguments about which decade truly ruled the charts.
