Mad Not Mad is the sixth studio album by Madness. Originally released in September 1985, it marked a departure from the band’s original line-up, with keyboard player Mike Barson taking a break from the group after an astonishingly successful run of five hit albums in as many years.
Style-wise Mad Not Mad presented a more polished side of Madness and contains some of their most sophisticated and political songwriting. The first single, Yesterday’s Men finds the band in a smooth, reflective mood, dealing with the dispossessed characters in and around Camden Town, and Sweetest Girl is a cover of the iconic Scritti Politti track, while Uncle Sam is a classic Madness romp relayed through the narrative of a soldier’s experiences during World War II.
This LP reissue is pressed on 180g black vinyl and features brand new liner notes by Chrissy Boy, Chas Smash, Woody and Lee Thompson.
