    Fantastic album that should be better ed than it is. The track with Ian Dury is sublime.
    My pressing sounds great. Flat, dead quiet and lovely full vibes. Every song is a winner in my book. Up there with my other favourite Madness albums I.e 7, Rise And Fall, Keep Moving, and Norton. The rest are pretty good too. We’re so lucky to have lived in a world with this brilliant band.

      I can't really compare this to another LP release of the same material... :D Weird, it now feels like it's always been there and not just on CD/cassette as it always was.

      Totally buzzing with this!!! Nice, quiet pressing with again, a superb custom inner (I've only bought The Madness prior to this but that ain't gonna be the end of the matter lol) and insert too with plenty of reading material for your delight from lads in the band.

      Personally, I'd rate this album as one of their best anyway - not too far behind OSB, Absolutely and The Rise And Fall which I recon are all about equal for top billing. Not a lot wrong with their others but... y'know...

      Totally recommended and I never really do reviews, at all! :) 10/10
