I've always thought this was one of the most underrated tracks of the 80s. Wonderfully arranged and very progressive for its time. Could never understand why it's not as appreciated as the other classics.
believe it or not, this is my least favorite "classic" Madness track, but this live version just changed my opinion! Is that Feargel Sharkey on back-up?
Just goes to show Madness were a top class live act in 1985/86 - saw them twice - I was 12! And at that time we needed them more than ever. A unique line up. Backed by 3 soul singers, a percussionist, no Mr Barso (but 2 keyboard players instead). The band themselves don't often talk highly of this period. This is classic stuff. Not sure if they cut it live like this anymore. Although their recent studio album 'Liberty Of Norton Folgate' I think is there best record yet!
Forgot what a great live track this is....i have seen madness about thirty times since 1992.....never heard this live
