1984 was a truly incredible year in pop music, and we have included a fabulous selection of tracks on the 1984 Yearbook and the 80-84 Final Chapter as part of our appreciation of the year.

Those tracks were generally the bigger hits of the year, with their chart achievement a factor in their inclusion. However, thats not the whole singles story of the year, and our celebration of 1984 wouldnt be complete without shining a light on some of the years singles that have been compiled much less frequently over the past 40 years

Welcome to THE VAULT for 1984 Some of the tracks included were Top 40 hits, some missed the chart completely. Some were representative of massive selling albums, and some were big hits in the U.S. and not in the U.K. but all are part of the wonderful pop story of 1984.

45 tracks across 3-LPs NOW Yearbook THE VAULT: 1984 pressed in stunning transparent blue vinyl.

LP1 begins with some pop gems from established artists; Heaven 17, ABC, and Scritti Politti ahead of a U.S. single release from Bananarama. The solo debut from Helen Terry who had sung back-up vocals on the previous years massive seller Colour By Numbers from Culture Club features along with Level 42, Soft Cell and Talk Talk who close the first side with Such A Shame. Flip the LP over to enjoy the sumptuous vocal pairings of Teddy Pendergrass and Whitney Houston, and Dennis Edwards and Siedah Garrett. The side also features the debut from the Colour Field, M+Ms Black Stations/White Stations and established artists Tom Robinson and Marillion.

The second disc kicks off with a stunning collection of indie-pop, including Cocteau Twins, Siouxsie And The Banshees, The Icicle Works and the Top 40 debut from Everything But The Girl plus Malcolm McLaren, The Associates and Blancmange with their cover of ABBAs The Day Before You Came, whilst the dance-floor beckons on the other side with electro-dance and Hi-NRG from Sheila E., Divine, Evelyn Thomas, Miquel Brown, and chart regulars Shalamar, Donna Summer and Sheena Easton with Arrow closing the LP with carnival favourite Hot Hot Hot.

The final LP focuses on singles that found chart success in the U.S. and opens with Culture Clubs Miss Me Blind, which didnt get a single release in the U.K, alongside a selection of U.S. new-wave hits from The Fixx, Go-Gos and The Cars. Synth-led tracks from The Psychedelic Furs, Visage and Sparks close the side. Pretenders opens the final side with Show Me, which was a U.S. hit, but not a single in the U.K. Daryl Hall & John Oates, and Rick Springfield continued their run of Stateside hits and Bon Jovi debuted with Runaway. Scorpions and Judas Priest are up next with rock classics Rock You Like A Hurricane, and Freewheel Burning and the final word is given to ZZ Top with TV Dinners one of four singles from their massive Eliminator album.
