Complete madness-16 hit tracks / Vinyl record [Vinyl-LP]

Product Information

The Madness, originally released in May 1988, is the only album recorded by Suggs, Chas Smash, Chrissy Boy and Lee Thompson of Madness. As you would expect to find with this rare variant, the sleeve has the OVED reissue sticker over the barcode on the back, the matrix has been re-etched with the OVED number and the inner sleeve is a standard generic Virgin sleeve. For items that are dispatched using our standard service, we ask that you wait 14 days from the date of dispatch before reporting any items as undelivered. Along with the Specials, Madness were one of the leading bands of the late-'70s ska revival that swept the U.

Very Important: Please note that the Divine double LP has a notch broken out of the edge of each vinyl LP (see photo) so the first track on each side cannot be played. Madness' is Minneapolis-based Polica's seventh release since 2012's ground breaking debut album 'Give You the Ghost'.As their career progressed, they folded in touches of Motown, soul, and British pop to their formula. Sleeve appears faded this is due to poor quality printing of all the Portuguese Absolutely sleeves rather than fading through age. Produced by Christopher Neil, the album ranged from the hyperkinetic new wave-infused ‘Machinery’ via the smooth west coast yacht rock of ‘There When I Needed You’ to classic, Streisand-style balladry on the top 20 AC hit ‘I Wouldn’t Beg For Water. The album also features a host of other musicians including Steve Nieve (Elvis Costello and The Attractions) on keyboards and The Specials’ Jerry Dammers on piano. Remastered from the original master tapes and pressed on green coloured vinyl with refreshed artwork including new inner sleeve.

Wonderful, originally released in 1999 was the first studio album featuring the original Madness line-up since 1984’s Keep Moving.Don't worry, if the postage cost is higher than you were anticipating we can easily send you a full refund if you decide not to proceed.
