Biography

The highly ranked pop/ska British band Madness was built out of the ruins of the London-based ensemble Invaders. There were seven musicians who constituted the lineup of the new group. The Madness first officially produced composition was The Prince, a tribute to Prince Buster, whose song Madness gave the outfit its name. This track entered the UK’s top twenty and helped the group soon sign up a contract with Stiff Records. After that, Madness release one more single, One Step Beyond, a remake of Buster’s song. This hit outdid its predecessor and landed on the seventh position in the charts.
