The iconic debut album from
Madness coined the unmistakable “heavy heavy monster sound” that catapulted
them from poky rehearsal rooms and sweaty gigs to the hearts of the nation. In
truth it delivered so much more: sophisticated pop, vaudevillian vamps, English
eccentrics and desert moonstomps.
This special 35th Anniversary edition has
been digitally remastered from the original ¼ inch tapes, and is presented with
some recently unearthed rehearsal recordings from 1979 including two songs that
have never appeared anywhere before.
Also included are the band’s much-loved
promo videos from the album and their immortal BBC TV performances, plus a BBC
documentary from 2000. The 24 page booklet contains liner notes featuring brand
new interviews with producers Clive Langer & Alan Winstanley.’
Join in the anniversary fun here!
