Hi, Adam here. I just wanted to clear my
conscience (yeah, I probably spelt it wrong) about this whole bootleg
thing. I've sold a few bootlegs for £7, but I couldn't live with
this idea of me 'capitalising' on Madness. The thing is, I didn't know
how much it would cost for a blank CD, and I knew I'd have to slip my
brother's mate a quid or two for running them off for me, also they
cost me quite a bit when I first bought them, and to top it off, the bank
have just sent me a letter telling me to cut my Visa card in half
(Believe me, that sounds worse than it is! I'm OK!). Just didn't
want anyone thinking I was a little Richard Branson wannabe. I love
Madness more than any other band, and I just want to spread it around as
much as I can, I think £7 was fair enough - and I do shove it down my
mate's throats as much as I can, so much so that a lot of them bought
Lovestruck, but wouldn't fork out for the album (God bless 'em
anyway).
Right, I'm a little bit drunk so I'll sign off
before I bore you/embarrass myself any longer. Oh, before I go, I saw
Madness Unugged on sale at Jumbo Records in Leeds today, did you know
Vince? It looked damn fine as well, so I'm going to go back and buy it
soon.
Cheerio,
Adam.
