Coming a mere 7 months after the main album and containing only 5 new tracks and a selection of live tracks from the 2023 tour, i know i speak for the majority of the fans who thought this a rip off. On saying that the main album's live versions work well (i was lucky to see the album performed in full at Koko) and the 'new' tracks are quite marvellous (much like the main album itself). If you don't still own this album the 2CD is by far most advisable and will keep it's value far better. Finally obtained it last week at a decent £9.99 - naturally I owned the orginal as a fan from day 1 pre-ordering it way in advance. Both purchased from Amazon. Not a patch on their finest 'The Liberty of Norton Folgate' but a very solid 9/10 from me. Awesome stuff from their 45th year (no my Maths aren't wrong count em 1979-2023) -
"Madness would like to dedicate this album to Terry Hall" - class. -
