1: One Step Beyond
In the middle of August 1979. Madness released their first single. Now, five years later, 19 singles have been issued and each one has been a Top 20 hit. This week and next,
Mike Smith looks at the first five years of Madness - as told by themselves and people who worked closely with them. So take yourself back to the days of pork-pie hats, Two-Tone, Nutty Dancing, flying saxophone players and the 'rockingest sound around'. Written and produced by KEVIN HOWLETT
featuring Thomas Dolby recorded at the Dominion Theatre, Tottenham Court Road, London.
Introduced by Steve Blacknell
including sessions from Liverpool's The High Five and La La Bam Bam.
