Madness ORIG OZ Promo LP The rise and fall EX '82 Stiff RML53028 Ska revival

Original OZ Promo  LP released in 1982 on Stiff Records. Cat: RML53028. 

There’s a certain grandness to the title of Madness Presents the Rise & Fall, the group’s fourth album and undeniable pop masterpiece: it’s clear that the band has ambitions, to go several steps beyond ska, to craft nothing less than a Village Green Preservation Society for the ‘80s. The Kinks figure heavily in Madness’ design for The Rise & Fall, both in individual tunes and the overall arc of the concept album, but so does Ian Dury’s celebration of the riffraff of London, the latter giving Madness an earthiness that Ray Davies’ crew lacked during their time on the Village Green. While Madness’ forefathers are evident, The Rise & Fall is recognizably Madness in sound and sensibility; faint echoes of their breakneck nutty beginnings can be heard on “Blue Skinned Beast” and “Mr. Speaker Gets the Word,” the melodies are outgrowths of such early masterpieces as “My Girl,” there’s a charming, open-hearted humor and carnivalesque swirl that ties everything together. All this comes to a head on “Our House,” as divine a pop single as there ever was so undeniable that this very British anthem actually crossed over into the American Top Ten in 1983


Tracks : Rise and fall/ Tomorrow (Just another day)/ Blue skinned beast/ Primrose hill/ Mr Speaker (gets the word)/ Sunday morning/ Our house/ Tiptoes/ New Delhi/ That face/ Calling cards/ Are you coming (with me)/ Madness (is all in the mind).
