I see you are putting out another collection of old Madness hits.
At least this time you added 2 unreleased songs; but what about putting out an album with only unreleased songs?
I am missing a release of “My moms roses”, “it`s for the best”, “Moondance”, “Never ask twice”, “Perfect place” and so on and so on.
This is what I need!!!!
Not ANOTHER COLLECTION with songs I`ve bought 10 times before.
You just releases “A guided tour of Madness” with 1 song not released before who`s actually just a spanish version of One Step Beyond!
Why do you do this?
Is it because you know that collectors as my self will buy every release that you put out?
I lost count of how many compilation albums I`ve got of you guys, but it ain`t few.
Show us collectors a little respect and give us an album of UNRELEASED SONGS ONLY!
Thank you

Dear Bjorn
First of all the “Guided Tour” contained the 1992 Madstock concert, which has never been released on DVD. In fact you could think of it as buying a DVD with a free album included. We signed a back catalogue deal with a great company called Union Square who only have our back catalogue. So they can’t release anything new, as they don’t have the rights. It is not compulsory to buy this collection. Or you can download the unreleased tracks. We are working on a new album but that all takes time. The songs you refer to [“My moms roses”, “it`s for the best”, “Moondance”, “Never ask twice”, “Perfect place” ] are bootlegs stolen from the band. A few years ago we gave away “Perfect Place” free, by the way. I think “Never Ask Twice’ has been released somewhere as well.
thanks, CB
