Madness - The Dangermen Sessions Vol 1. CD. (V2 - VVR1033232) Hey you, don't buy dat, buy dis!!! The first studio album from the Camden Town nutty boys since 1999's 'Wonderful' is a covers album- on which they pay tribute to their soul, ska and reggae heroes (Desmond Dekker, Max Romeo, Bob Marley, Prince Buster and Lord Tanamo,whose 'Shame and Scandal In De Family' was also covered by Lance Percival) as well as The Kinks, Jose Feliciano and their favourite TV theme 'Dangerman', from whence the name of the album is taken. In 2004 the lads played a series of secret gigs in sweaty Camden pubs where they performed only this material, inspiring them to capture it in the studio. Sadly, this looks like the last time Chris 'Chrissie Boy' Forman will record with them, as he departed soon after, but either way it's an interesting new chapter in nutty history.
