Madness Reissue One Step Beyond.


Just in time for its 30 year anniversary, Madness' debut album One Step Beyond, "which took the world by storm with its nutty slant on ska, Motown, rock'n'roll and good old fashioned music hall," has been remastered and reissued by Salvo, the new reissue label from Union Square Music.

One Step Beyond, originally released in November of 1979, spent one year on the UK charts. The first single, "The Prince," was a tribute to Jamaican legend Prince Buster. The title track, released as the second single, was originally written and recorded by Buster in 1964.


One Step Beyond...(30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition) is available at amazon.com and itunes and contains extras not found on the original album, including several B-Sides, a John Peel Session, five promo videos, and exclusive liner notes by novelist Irvine Welsh.
