Hope you all going to enjoy this (i did)

Madness Our House... In Argentina

Dance craze

This CD contains some of the best of British Ska, or at least some of the best Ska bands recorded on 2 Tone. It's hard to beat live versions of some of these classics, and in fact, songs like Concrete Jungle (the Specials) and Mirror in the Bathroom (the English Beat) on this CD are superior to their studio counterparts. This is a wonderful sampler and a must-have for any Ska fan.Due to contract problems Madness are not on the CD,Only on the now hard to get record.Still a great CD.Some of the best 2nd wave ska captured on this recording.

This disc contains many jingles radios produced by Madness for various emissions. One finds there also versions demonstrations of “Sign Of The Times”, “Time”, “Michael Caine”, “Donald” (new title signed Lee Thompson in homage to the one of its saxes named Donald), the famous new “My Mum' S Roses” as well as mixings different from “House Of Fun”, “Los Palmas 7”, “My Girl”, “Tomorrow' S Just Another Day”, “It Must Be Coils” etc… without forgetting the version sung by Madness of “Listen To Your Father” and of the titles in concert.
With all these versions demonstrations, you plunge in the middle of the creation of the group… Fabulous!!

balearic beats

Balearic Beat or Balearic House was an eclectic blend of DJed dance music that emerged in the mid-1980s.[1][2] It later became the name of a more specific style of electronic dance music that was popular into the mid-1990s. Balearic Beat was named for its popularity among European nightclub and beach rave patrons on the Balearic island of Ibiza, a popular tourist destination. Some dance music compilations referred to it as "the sound of Ibiza," even though many other, more aggressive and upbeat forms of dance music could be heard on the island.
UK disc jockeys Paul Oakenfold and Danny Rampling are commonly credited with having "discovered" Balearic Beat in 1985 while on holiday in Ibiza. Reportedly, they were introduced to the music at Amnesia, an Ibizan nightclub, by DJ Alfredo from Argentina, who had a residency there.[3] DJ Alfredo, whose birth name is Alfredo Fiorillo, played an eclectic mix of dance music whose style encompassed the indie hypno grooves of the Woodentops, the mystic rock of the Waterboys, early house, Europop, and oddities from the likes of Peter Gabriel. After visiting other clubs on the island where similar music was being played, including Pacha and Ku, Oakenfold and his friend Trevor Fung returned to London, where they unsuccessfully tried to establish a nightclub called the Funhouse in the Balearic style. Returning to Ibiza during the summer of 1987, Oakenfold rented a villa where he hosted a number of his DJ friends, including Danny Rampling, Johnny Walker, and Nicky Holloway. Returning to London after the summer, Oakenfold reintroduced the Balearic style at a South London nightspot called the Project Club. The club initially attracted those who had visited Ibiza and who were familiar with the Balearic concept. Fueled by their use of Ecstasy and an emerging fashion style based on baggy clothes and bright colors, these Ibiza veterans were responsible for propagating the Balearic subculture within the evolving UK rave scene. In 1988, Oakenfold established a second outlet for Balearic Beat, a Monday night event called Spectrum, which is credited with exposing the Balearic concept to a wider audience.
The early-1990s Balearic Beat sound was typified by a distinctive, relatively heavy, slow (90–110 bpm), R&B-influenced beat consisting of bass drum, snare, and hi-hats (often produced with a Roland TR-909 drum machine) programmed in certain laid-back, swing-beat patterns; plus soul, Latin, African, funk, and dub affectations; and production techniques borrowed from other styles of dance music that were popular at the time. Vocals were sometimes present, but much of the music was instrumental. The sounds of acoustic instruments such as guitar and piano were sometimes incorporated into Balearic Beat. Major artists credited with popularizing this form of Balearic Beat include Soul II Soul and Enigma. A trance offshoot, Ibiza Trance, also developed during this time. Having been primarily associated with a particular percussion pattern that eventually fell out of vogue, the style eventually faded from prominence, and its repertoire was subsumed by the more general "chill out" and "downtempo" genres.
Ibiza is still considered by some to have its own 'sound,' however, including among others the music of Jens Gad, co-creator of Enigma, and his new chillout-world-influenced hybrid project, Achillea, recorded in his studio in the hills overlooking Ibiza. [5] Compilations such as Global Lounge Sessions: The Balearic Sound of Ibiza, released in 2002, and Sequoia Groove's Buddha-Lounge series, continue to be released. [6] These generally feature house music and certain downtempo selections, not the old style of Balearic Beat, per se. Some prefer to use the term more generally, however, to apply to all of these styles.
I have put up some hard to find classics.

Another warm thought

The one and only ODB , another of TNA'S top womens wrestlers and is she top.

The 500

Madness record label at the time Stiff planed release was dont quote on that as a single,but went only as far printing 500 copies off the record.the B-side had a dance version of swan lake which appeared on the one step beyond album.the record saw the light of day , many copies were giving at gigs at that time.Myself picked up a copy after searching for many years on ebay(dont you just love ebay).So after many years how many Madness fans have the copy (catalogue Mad 1) record.This may not be big thing to your avearge record buying fan ,but to a madness die hards this gold.
So for people who dont understand .I have uploaded the record for you
This has been ripped from the singles boxset to give a digital feel (no diffent from the vinyl)

what i like

Madness, celebrating their 30th anniversary year, played to a packed Astoria at the warm-up show
for their latest arena tour, which officially begins in Aberdeen .
Although they first disbanded in the mid1980s, these North London hero's have reformed for irregular
bouts of touring and recording since their first tentative reunion shows in 1992.
An evergreen live draw with their all-ages appeal and durable back catalogue of timeless hits,
the band are now engaged in their most sustained and serious comeback for a decade.
Here is a classic mega mix I came across for you on my first blog
