Compilation with unique sleeve from 1986 only released in South America - could it have been this sleeve that gave Virgin the idea for the Divine Madness sleeve?

Wonderful, originally released in 1999 was the first studio album featuring the original Madness line-up since 1984’s Keep Moving. Very Important: Please note that the Divine double LP has a notch broken out of the edge of each vinyl LP (see photo) so the first track on each side cannot be played. With their most recognized line-up of seven members, they continue to perform and have achieved great success throughout their career. The governing principle behind 'Theatre Of the Absurd Presents C'est La Vie', is: 'let Madness be Madness'.Being released for the first time on vinyl (180gram heavyweight) the album includes the singles ‘Lovestruck’ and ‘Johnny The Horse’, as well as the fan favourite ‘Drip Fed Fred’, which features Ian Dury not long before he passed away. Includes the singles ‘Machinery’, ‘Are You Man Enough’ and ‘I Wouldn’t Beg For Water’ as well as her original recording of ‘Wind Beneath My Wings.

Sleeve appears faded this is due to poor quality printing of all the Portuguese Absolutely sleeves rather than fading through age. VG+ condition, vinyl has a couple of light marks but nothing too notable, sleeve has a word written in biro top left and a date written in biro on the back. The rear sleeve appears to be a mixture of new type setting and scans of the pictures from the original rear sleeve, so appears a little disjointed/inconsistent on close inspection.We use cookies to give you the best possible experience on our site, provide personalised content and advertising, analyse our traffic, and ensure you see more of what you love.
