Madness, 1979.
An absolutely joyous explosion of music!
New ska in all its fresh and full-blooded glory and uninhibitedness.
A powerful debut.
One Step Beyond, My Girl, Believe Me...3 catchy and stonking hits to set the party going.
AND THEN...Bed and Breakfast Man, Swan Lake and "Chipmunks Are Go" (a version of "Madness").
The nutty boys burst through with a winning formula that would keep them rolling for many years.
A combination of dance-floor catchiness and self-effacing London wit.
Too many favourites to count - listen once, you'll want to listen again (unless, of course, you don't like ska - but you'd be MAD not to!!!).
10/10.
