Madness release their debut LP, “One Step Beyond”
Total classic. As I’ve said recently, I’m grateful for my mod friends who turned me onto bands like Madness, who in turn introduced me to the original Jamaican ska bands of the 60’s.
But it’s not all ska music and covers. There’s also some reggae, a bit of eastern european music, pop, and even a hint of classical music. Most songs are upbeat, but “Razor Blade Alley” is a dark, bleak tune. Overall, it’s an excellent debut.
I still love the powerful rendition of the title track. It’s also a cover (Prince Buster), but that sax is just [fire]. Turn it up for the nuttiest sound around!
