Madness - Absolutely

RARE/2HAND VINYL LP ON STIFF 1980

Stiff SEZZ 29 made in Scandinavia with text inner sleeve.

Vinyl NM. Cover EX.

For their second album, Madness continued the bright and bouncy fun of their debut. Absolutely placed slightly more emphasis on their novelty aspect, creating something of a fun-house atmosphere with stray sounds, exaggerated accents, faster tempos, and often unintelligible lyrics rattled off by Suggs at breakneck speed. Although the album shows a dip in quality control and much less diversity than One Step Beyond, it is nevertheless a charming romp with its share of inspired moments, like the classic singles "Baggy Trousers" and "Embarrasment." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madness_(band)
