And even with hits like Our House, Tomorrow's Just Another Day and Michael Caine still in the future (and eventually included on the companion volume "Utter Madness" four years later) it's such a top-notch compilation that it's hard to argue with.

It was released in 1982 and included Madness' biggest hits from their first three studio albums and the stand-alone singles. The discography of Madness, a British pop/ ska band, comprises twelve studio albums, sixteen compilation albums, four live albums, two soundtrack albums, two extended plays, four box sets and forty-three singles. Madness_ is a good album but it's not a complete 'best of' ("Our House" and "Driving In My Car" are notable omissions). a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z aa ab ac ad ae af ag "British certifications – Madness".

The vinyl and initial CD releases have shortened fade-outs for many tracks, to reduce the running time of each side of the original LP version.

Madness – Complete Madness (1986, Vinyl) - Discogs

I saw Madness performing on Jools Holland, got this for my birthday and I'm pretty sure I never stopped listening to it for the next couple of years. The original Australian version of the album, issued some months later than in the UK, replaces In the City with 13th UK single Driving in My Car.Released in 1982 when Madness were at the peak of their creative and commercial powers, this collection contains all their hits up to that point, plus a handful of non-single cuts. Best tracks: "My Girl", "Baggy Trousers", "It Must Be Love", "House Of Fun", "One Step Beyond" and "Cardiac Arrest". A great compilation of their earlier work, this is a band which I honestly only knew from "Our House" so it's a bit of a revelation to listen to a greatest hits album from before that song was released. The songs are all pretty great and have stood the test of time very well , bringing back lots of memories .

Unless it is unsealed and you can see the disc to prove otherwise, the LP you are selling will be the black vinyl edition.Mostly the lyrics are very clever, brilliantly delivered by McPherson and accompanied by energetic music (which can get a bit repetitive after a few listens). The ska-pop of Madness was never really my thing (sorry UK - maybe I don't have that island-wave-feeling 😉) - but I think “It Must Be Love” is an incredibly good song (but one or the other song also has its own Charm and fun, too -II*😉), which is why I bought this compilation. Note to Sellers: These limited edition 'red vinyl' editions sold out almost instantly in 2013 and were re-pressed in black vinyl in 2014.
