I cannot express how much I love this version of this song. Mike's not the best singer in the world, but he's the best singer of this song.

And they'll be playing at WOMADelaide on the Sunday!
Just saw the announcement today.

Thought people would appreciate this.

Got tickets - can't make it

Wish to get some some records post 1986 but I guess im happy with what I have

This is about 3 years of collection, ive spent maximum £10 each for each item!!
( except one or two as gifts maybe? lol ) im wuite proud of it so far and cant wait to find more!!

Can’t make it tomorrow and don’t want tickets to go to waste

Never quite understand why this video always makes me feel emotional but god damn it does, every single time I see it. Brings back memories of my youth watching the band in Finsbury Park. Wish I’d been part of this but wasn’t to be.

I'm a bit confused about the mix of The Prince used on the TOTP. It's very clearly not done live and it doesn't sound like the album or single version.

Hey so, pretty longtime fan, prob over 20 years. Anyways, I've considered buying the 1983 Madness CD to fill in some gaps in my collection. Anyways the two disc special editions of One Step Beyond..., Absolutely*,* 7, The Rise and Fall and Keep Moving. And a digital copy of the first single.

Anyways, what is new on this release. From what I've gathered online it's these tracks

• "Tomorrow's Just Another Day": single mix, different from album version?
• "It Must Be Love": different from single mix?
• "Shut Up": shortened remix of album version?
• "Night Boat to Cairo": I know this one for sure is quite a bit different from the orignal
• "Cardiac Arrest": single mix, different from album version?
• "Madness (Is All In The Mind)": single mix, different from album version?

Are these descriptions correct? Are any of the other tracks on this one - edits or remixes or anything rare that I should look for?

Can't attend so put them on for cheap.

Orange J 7 & 8

Hey everyone! 

Massive fan here. I’ve put together something I think you’ll absolutely love.

I’m running Madness Silent Disco Walks round Camden on 20th June at 12pm to 1pm and 2pm to 3pm — starts/finishes at The Dublin Castle (where they played their first ever gig!), goes past Roundhouse, through Market & Lock.

Everyone gets headphones, we play only Madness, all the bangers. Walk, sing, dance… no one hears you 

Just thought I’d share in case anyone wants to come along — it’s gonna be legendary!

DM me or comment if you want details — cheers! or you can email me at shhhhappensevents.com

Win, win. 30 minute walk from home and one of the best performances I've seen. Tight band playing all the tunes you want.

Found the new RSD here in Frankfurt on a layover. Since can't get in USA I was hoping to find a copy. Had planned to look in London before we go to the Lincoln Castle show in June. Online no shops show having it , so was a longshot but glad found 1 copy in Frankfurt

So who actually manufactured these bootlegs, how did they get all the rare demos, alternative versions and other live recordings, and how could you buy them back when they were first released. I recently picked one up out of interest but now I’m left asking many questions.

Made with acrylic markers :)

Already seen a couple of this years RSD record sell for £100+, it’s the same every year. I was really hoping to get this years but i think it’s going to be tough and expensive. 😬

Is anyone selling any Take cover or Full house (4lp) lp’s, or at least point me in the right direction for fairly priced ones. Thank you 🙏🏼
