Why doesn't the O Brother Where Art Thou link work? Tuf-Kat
Later tonight, or tomorrow, I'm going to delete all the ones that already have an article because I will have updated them to the "brochure" style (such as London Calling), which I consider the equivalent of a stub in this field. Once everything on this list has such a brochure with the basics, I'll restore the complete list so it can be used for its original purpose. Tuf-Kat
Some bands and albums listed have the ampersand "&" included in their title. According to the Wikipedia style guide, the ampersand should be avoided (and presumably replaced with "and"). Iam 08:29, Apr 2, 2004 (UTC)
Looks like I'm doing redundant work because of poor indexing on Wikipedia. I added Now That's What I Call Music! 17, but Now 17 already exists and is more complete. -- Mikeblas 23:21, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Hmm... I have to be honest and say that I'm still not in favour of these articles (see discussion at the main talk page).
But let's assume for the sake of argument that there's a concensus to keep the articles. "Now!" albums from different series which *just happen to have the same number* are generally different; the only thing tying (e.g.) the UK and US "Now! 4" together is the name. Beyond the common Now details, they have nothing in common; 1984 UK hits vs. 2000 US hits, totally different covers, different numbers of discs (2 vs. 1)... oops, the UK one is so old that it came on vinyl/cassette, not CD. See what I mean? :-)
In short, they're different albums, and if individual Now!s are distinctive enough to warrant individual articles, then there's no reason to group them together. A disambig page is a different thing, of course.
As I mentioned, where there is only one article for a given number, redirects strike me as a good solution, because it keeps the naming within series consistent (rather than having some with a country suffix, and some without; this would also imply we need to move the original article if we want to create another "Now! 4"). The redirect can become a disambig when a new "Now! 4" is created.

Hope the now U.S and U.K & original disambiguation page makes sense now. It's much clearer. Thanks for your help Fourohfour. Timclare 14:44, 11 February 2006 (GMT)
This page already exists as Jesus of Cool but I don't know about using yellow for the US version.
