I did spend the mid 90s listening to a lot of what we would now call Britpop, but that was not all that made its way onto my record player. There was a lot of other good music being produced at that time that was not Britpop and I thought I would put together a compilation of songs that reflected the period. I did try producing a compilation that would cover one year, but this proved to be a bit difficult. Therefore, both this and next months entry cover two years each. On reflection, this is a real mixed bag.

Unlike the majority of my compilations, I have made this fit onto a CD with no vinyl equivalent. I also chose the title as it was a nice play on the ‘Now That’s What I Call Music’ compilations that were also a mixed bag of genres, depending on what was selling that particular month.
I added the Virgin Records logo as they seemed to be kings of the compilation i the mid 90s if what I have in my record collection is anything to go by.
This playlist could not recreated on Spotify due to one or more of the songs not being available.
