Madness - Wings of a Dove - Non-Album Tracks (1983-1985)

A few days ago, I posted an album of stray tracks from Madness. This is the second such album, finishing off most of the rest of their first era, prior to their first break up in 1986. I do have something different for 1986 tracks, however, so this only goes to 1985.

During this time period, Madness was still commercially successful (though mainly just in Britain). There are two hit A-sides here, "Wings of a Dove," and "The Sun and the Rain." Additionally, two more songs ("Yesterday's Men" and "Uncle Sam") were hits but were included on the band's 1985 album "Mad Not Mad." However, I was able to include interesting alternate demos of those that were later released as bonus tracks.

Nearly all of the other songs are B-sides. The only exceptions are the last two tracks. "Shop Around" comes from a bootleg, and is a cover of the famous Motown classic. "Jennie (A Portrait Of)" wasn't released at the time, but later was released as a bonus track.

This album is 46 minutes long.
