The Last Rag And Bone Man

John Jones
Mike: There will always be someone bigger than you, you may not like it but whether you can do anything about it is another question!

Crying
Chris: I've got so many songs that I've written with Lee that have never seen the light of day, and I didn't want these to get lost. In the end, a lot of mine and Thommo's songs ended up on the 'box set' version of the album. So what happened ...

Johnny The Horse

Fish & Chips

The Return of the Los Palmas 7
Clive Langer has revealed that with every album, Madness was asked by Dave Robinson to record an instrumental. Following the success of their hit song 'One Step Beyond', he encouraged the band to create more instrumentals. 'Night Boat To Cairo' ...

Rain
Lee: Though Bruce Ruffin's version was plushly produced, the 'nursery rhyme' middle 8 always annoyed us so this was replaced by a James Bond feel with a dodgy sax solo over her. Trumpeter Simon Wilcox played a slurred, almost drunk-sounding ...

Sign Of The Times

No Reason
Let’s dive into the brilliance of ‘No Reason’. This track is a shining gem among Madness's repertoire, radiating with the powerful, evocative lyrics that have become a hallmark of Suggs’s songwriting genius. It doesn't just hold its own; it ...

La Luna
Chris: 'La Luna' was the only song I wrote on the album. We'd been playing it live before we recorded it, and [bassist) Graham Bush and Woody had this bit that was quite heavy, and I didn't like it. And we recorded the version on the album, and ...

Rockin’ in A♭
Dan Barson was the singer of Bazooka Joe, a north London rock and roll band that started in 1970. His brother Mike used to see them play in the mid-1970s. After seeing the Sex Pistols, the band changed and is now better known as Stuart ...

Forever Young
The band presented several songs from their latest album, "The Liberty of Norton Folgate," in three concerts held at London's Hackney Empire in June 2008. One of the songs that they played was 'Forever Young,' featuring a melodious tune. Suggs ...

Love Really Hurts

My Girl (Demo)
The demo version of "My Girl" was released on the B-side of the 12" version of "The Return of the Los Palmas 7", featuring Mike Barson on vocals. The track was recorded when Madness recorded thier first three demo tracks, The Prince and Madness ...

Pac-A-Mac

I’d Do Anything (If I Could)
Oh my goodness! What on earth is going on here? This track has Foreman's signature all over it, instantly conjuring up images of Craggy Island. Did Zoom Boy wrap up an epic binge-watching session of Father Ted? The monotonous drone of "I’d Do ...

What On Earth Is It (You Take Me For?)
An old track resurrected, previously known as "Pussy Galore," was written by Lee Thompson and first aired during "The Sound of Madness Tour" in December 2018. Unfortunately, the track heavily echoes the style of "Crunch! (Aka the Nutty Boys)" ...

White Heat

Mrs. Hutchinson

Long Goodbye
It starts off with the ethereal tones of Tingsha-Tibetan Chimes, instantly conjuring memories of John Lennon's iconic ‘(Just Like) Starting Over’. At first blush, it seems like the tale might belong to Johnny the Horse, who faced similar ...
