Madness: The Story of Madness
The true story behind one of Britain's most beloved bands, formed in the heyday of punk and blending ska, reggae, and music hall humour to create a unique sound. From their rise to fame with hits like My Girl, One Step Beyond, House Of Fun, and Baggy Trousers, to their later-day concerts as fun-packed celebrations of their songbook, Madness' story is one of colourful characters, social commentary, and perseverance.
John Reed's biography offers a perceptive industry eye and insights from many insiders and colleagues, shedding light on the band's trials and tribulations, including disputes, accusations of racism, and an eventual split. A fascinating look at British pop history, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the story behind one of the UK's most successful singles bands of the Eighties.
