Product Description

In 1981, after a string of Top ten singles and two smash hit albums, Madness took to the silver screen. Yet while a group nicknamed the Nutty Boys might have been expected to indulge in the knockabout japes of ‘A Hard Day's Night’ or ‘Help!’ like The Beatles years before, ‘Take It Or Leave It’ was a grittier, less glossy version of the events that led to them becoming one of Britain's most cherished bands.

 

Salvo is delighted to present this digitally restored version of the film along with commentary by Madness guitarist Chris Foreman and the film's director, Stiff Records' Dave Robinson.

The accompanying CD soundtrack album provides an interesting perspective on the band's early work and features 26 songs including singles, b-sides and album tracks. Two of the songs aren't by Madness: Fats Domino's 'I'm Walkin' and The Four Tops' 'Reach Out I'll Be There', both of which can be heard in the film.
