Hey you! Don't buy that! Buy this! This is the heavy heavy monster sound of Madness's classic epoch-making debut from 1979, which took the world by storm with its nutty slant on ska, Motown, rock'n'roll and good old fashioned music hall. It bothered the charts for more than a year, boasting three massive hit singles among its many charms. Now, on the anniversary of its original release, the album has been remastered with bonus tracks, videos, a John Peel session and liner notes by Irvine Welsh, it's time once again to move your feet to the rockin'est, rock-steady beat…of Madness: One Step Beyond...!
