Eurythmics Shimmer On New Silver Vinyl Edition of It’s Alright (Baby’s Coming Back) on NOW – Yearbook 1985 to 1989: The Final Chapter

The new NOW – Yearbook 1985 to 1989: The Final Chapter lands on 13 February 2026, pressed across three silver vinyl LPs and packaged with a numbered art card. It celebrates songs that shaped the latter half of the decade, and it is great to see Eurythmics included with their elegant single It’s Alright (Baby’s Coming Back).

Originally issued at the very end of 1985, the track became Eurythmics’ tenth UK Top 20 single and peaked at number 12 in January 1986. It also charted in the United States where it reached number 78. Its appearance here places it alongside some of the decade’s most recognisable names, many of whom were sharing the charts with Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart at the time.

On the first LP, Eurythmics sit directly after Pet Shop Boys with their number one debut West End Girls and just before UB40, Go West, Living In A Box and Level 42. These tracks help set the tone for a varied mix of synth pop, soul infused pop and radio ready hits that defined the mid eighties.

The Yearbook spans a wide range of styles and artists across all three records. There are moments of featherlight pop, deeper shades of alternative music and powerful chart ballads. This collection works as both a nostalgia trip and a reminder of how rich the charts were between 1985 and 1989.

Highlights From The Wider Tracklist

Here are a few standout cuts that sit nicely alongside the Eurythmics track and show the breadth of the collection:

• a ha – Train Of Thought
  A moodier follow up to their earlier hits and a good example of their thoughtful electronic sound.
• Simple Minds
  Their contribution brings that widescreen, anthemic quality that carried them through the decade.
• The Cure
  A reminder that alternative music was finding a strong place in the charts by the mid eighties.
• R.E.M.
  Another key example of alternative music becoming mainstream, showing how quickly tastes were shifting.
• Pet Shop Boys – It’s A Sin
  The second appearance from the duo, giving the set another number one hit and a true anthem of the era.
• Bananarama – I Can’t Help It
  Pure pop that perfectly captures the sound of late eighties radio.
• Whitney Houston – Didn’t We Almost Have It All
  A powerful closing track that adds real vocal drama to the final side.

This silver vinyl edition brings these songs together with great care and shines a light on a dynamic period of chart music. For Eurythmics fans, it is a lovely chance to revisit It’s Alright (Baby’s Coming Back) in a fresh format and enjoy it within the wider musical landscape that surrounded it.
