Madness were at the forefront of the early-1980s UK ska explosion, injecting the music with pop hooks and their own cheeky humour.
The Lot collects their six albums in one convenient, 77-track package and features all the classic tracks--"One Step Beyond", "Baggy Trousers", "Prince", "Night Boat To Cairo", "Our House"--performed with customary zeal by Suggs and the boys. Remastered and beautifully packaged, with a 36-page booklet and all 24 original videos on CD-ROM, as well as the familiar battered Doc Martens on the cover,
The Lot is the ideal collection for all two-tone fanatics.
