Big thanks to Peter for the informative listing of Madness single variations! I would just like to add that the 1983 U.S. "Madness" CD also contains a very good alternate mix of my favorite Madness song, "Night Boat to Cairo," which to the best of my knowledge is not available anywhere else on CD. This version brings Chrissy Boy's guitar to the top of the mix with some potent reverb, and adds some extra keyboard flourishes during the vocal part. There may be some additional strings in the mix as well. It's really quite excellent. I didn't realize the humble U.S. "Madness" album had so many rare mixes on it, which makes it actually a must-have collector's item. And you can easily find it here in America in the bargain bins! Incidentally, I have a Madness page on my web site, which I have never announced here on the list, bring the inverterate lurker that I am. Come have a look if you like.
