Following two hugely successful albums (their debut and sophomore records One Step Beyond & Absolutely, both #2 in the UK album charts), “7” was Madness’ third studio album in as many years. Showcasing their ever evolving songwriting skills, it was originally released in 1981, reached #5 in the UK album charts and featured the hit singles ‘Grey Day’, ‘Cardiac Arrest’ and ‘Shut Up’.
This expanded 2CD edition features bonus tracks and exclusive liner notes by journalist Stevie Chick which include interviews with band members Lee ‘Kix’ Thompson, Mike Barson and Chrissyboy Foreman.
