> When I bought my
> first Madness single 30 years ago, I never thought I’d get so
> passionate about
> that English band.  Since my early
> youth Madness have always  had a
> special place in my heart. This band is a bit like the “big brother” I
> never
> had, they helped me get through the difficult times in my life and they
> made my
> life even more joyful during the good times. I really felt like
> offering them a
> special present for their thirtieth anniversary, trying to give them
> back (as
> far as I humbly can!) a little bit of all the happiness they gave me
> during all
> these years. My first idea was to release a remix album and send one to
> each
> member of the band, when Jérôme Lanvin (of Big 8 Records) suggested
> that I
> should work on a Madness Tribute album, as Chief Editor for the French
> MIS (the
> Madness French-speaking fan club website) and stand as a bit of a
> guarantor of
> the quality of the selected songs. The adventure started in April 2008
> and we
> are happy to present today the fruit of our labour and especially the
> quality of
> the work made by the artists who got involved in this project. I‘d like
> to
> thank all the bands who took part in that adventure and all the fan
> club members
> who also wished to be part of the project (MIS Online, Madness Central,
> Madness
> Trading Ring, and French MIS).  I
> also want to thank you, the ones who buy this record, because thanks to
> that
> very simple act, you’ll make that CD financially feasible, and so that
> all the
> independent artists’ efforts  would
> have been worthwhile. Enjoy it!
