Madness - House of Fun - Non-Album Tracks (1979-1982)

Madness was one of the most successful bands in Britain in the 1980s. They broke up for a while. But they're still going strong as I write this, releasing some acclaimed albums in the 2000s and still having six of their seven original members.

In the US these days, unfortunately, it seems they're mainly known for their one big US hit, "Our House," which reached Number 7 in 1983. They had one other Top 40 hit in the US, "It Must Be Love." But in Britain, they've had 26 Top 40 hits. Many of their singles contained A- and/or B-sides that weren't included on their studio albums. As a result, there's enough material for two albums of stray track materials for the years 1979 to 1986, when the band broke up for the first time.

All the songs here have been officially released. Four of them are A-sides: "In the City," "It Must Be Love," "House of Fun," and "Driving in My Car." Three more, tracks three through five, come from an EP. The rest are B-sides.

This album is 50 minutes long.
