Hey Now!
I akm gutted here to see this crap position.
Yes I know the fact remains is that the song was brill
and thats what matters....yet when you deal with the
Madness back catalogue you deal with a legagcy that
most bands dream of.
I know charts do not reflect quality, especially these
days, yet I can't see why the masses out there could
not get a chance to hear this song.
I will not get into the age-old arguements about who's
to blame only to say that radio stations, Virgin, the
management and the band themselves really need to sit
down and have a think for themselves.
Afeter JTH I thought a few lessons would have been
learned...surely things could only get better and in
the back of my mind I hoped it would bring a new lease
of life into the sales of Wonderful. That along with
the vocals of Ian Dury and the cause could only make
things get better...or so I thought.
Now another thing, the TMML contribution. I want to
publicaly say well done to all involved up and down
the country for their effort. It really was a team
effort and that can't be taken away. You all know whpo
you are and the memories of Galsgow, London TFI and
the photoshoot will never be taken. Yet I feel its sad
the day that the fans themselves have to go oiut and
do the work that the management and band themselves
should be doing. Many poeple took days off work and
travelled 100s of miles to do the work that others get
paid too much to be doing.
So Madness single number 27...the lowest ever chart
position. The Madness did better than this. Its so sad
Unfortunately I feel that the ghost train is finally
grinding to a halt for its last time. What started out
brilliantly last summer with a top 10 smash has gone
downhill since. I loved every minute of the new
recording and place Lovestruck in the 5 best singles
ever and wonderful in the best 3 albums ever, yet i
had hoped that the record-buying public would have
agreed, or have realised that these records were
actually now out.
What the band do from here is their business and I
will support them all the way, yet I put on DFF once
again tonight and listen with a tinge of regret at
what might(and should) have been.
All the best
Vince!
