Here is a short Madness discography. Here are only listed the "official" UK releases. You must know that all releases until 1985 have two different catalogue numbers. One "old" from Stiff, and another from Virgin (since in 1985, Virgin bought the whole Madness back catalogue from Stiff, and included all releases in their own catalogues with their own numbers). Unfortunately, I have not all Virgin catalogue numbers for the singles ! Help and/or comments will be greatly appreciated. If anyone is interested, I can provide you with more information. I'll probably send more soon. Pascal Mouret Compiled and edited by Pascal Mouret (Pascal.Mouret@newsup.univ-mrs.fr) Date of last revision : April 25, 1996 ************* * MADNESS * ************* It all started in 1977 with keyboard player Mike Barson, guitar player Chris Foreman, and sax player Lee "Kix" Thompson. They played various gigs until 1979 with different line-ups (even without Kix at times). The definite line-up was Mike, Chrissy Boy, Kix, Graham "Suggs" MacPherson (vocals), Mark Bedford (bass), Daniel "Woody" Woodgate (drums), and Carl Smyth "Chas Smash". One day, Lee jumped on his moped and went to Two Tone with a demo of "The Prince". This was their debut single (which made #16 in the UK charts). Then, they were spotted by Dave Robinson, the head of Stiff records, who very soon signed them to Stiff. The rest, you probably all know. 01 - THE PRINCE 7" [Two Tone CHSTT3] Aug 79 #16 The Prince // Madness 02 - ONE STEP BEYOND 7" [Stiff BUY56] Oct 79 #7 One Step Beyond // Mistakes 12" [Stiff BUYIT56] Oct 79 One Step Beyond // Mistakes / Nutty Theme 03 - ONE STEP BEYOND ...
