[total-madness] Questions I feel must be answered.....!

[Carl Humphreys]

Hi all, I hope someone can help.   Being a Madness fan, I feel saddend and ashamed that there are questions out there I feel I must know the answer of.   Firstly who is Sogyal Ripoche, and who are Siobhan, Iona & Mary Fitzpatrick?   Secondly, why are Lee's and Woody's families not mebtioned in the "families thanks"   Thirdly, who is N Woodgate   Fourthly Who is Jack Lawrence   Fithly what albums are included in the lot    OSB, Abso, 7, Rise and Fall, Keep Moving & ? Mad not mad or the Madness, or Wonderful?   And finnally thoughts of a madman passed his bedtime!   Elysium reminds me of "Time for Tea" on Keep Moving, great track. The communicator reminds me of a mix of "Sugar Sugar" by the Archies and Skinhead moonstomp/Liquidator. 4AM was and always will be a classic......but I still can't understand why it is on the LP (and wonderful isnt). The wizard Totally original. Drip Fed Fred typically Thomo. Going to the top reminds me of Promises promises on 7, great song. Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, I keep wanting to Sing "oh oh here she comes, watch out or she'll chew you up" at the start, still good though. I don't care wouldn't have been out of place on "The Madness" or on "the lone Ranger", a little Gabriels Horn, a Little 4BF, a soulfull little tune! No Money...a bit our house/rise and fallish, a great Organ/ Keyboard part. Probably my Fav of the lot.   dissapear with the fun and the fear, another chance to misbehave!   Carl.   Great Album
