Now for a Feast! is an album by Pop Will Eat Itself which compiles their work before 1988. It has been re-released several times by different labels, each with a different selection of bonus tracks. The Cherry Red version, released as a 25th anniversary edition, contained almost every song released by the band while Graham Crabb was drumming, as well as several unreleased demos and versions, one live song, and three very rare demos recorded by Wild And Wandering, the previous incarnation of the band before their name was changed to Pop Will Eat Itself in 1986.

The style of the album is very different from that of any others as it was recorded without the incorporation of drum machines or any other electronic equipment besides Adam Mole's occasionally-featured synthesizer. Therefore, it lacks any of the hip-hop sound prevalent in the albums that follow. Also, Graham's vocals are limited to backing and Clint Mansell sings far more melodically than is frequently found on later releases.
