## Summary

Madness are reissuing their first five studio albums, spanning their rise from their 1979 debut to 1984’s *Keep Moving*, their final album for Stiff Records. The releases revisit a formative period for the North London band and include new vinyl editions and CDs.

The albums are due on January 29, with vinyl pressed from a new 2026 remaster made using transfers from the original quarter-inch master tapes. Coloured vinyl will be limited to a single pressing, in violet, blue, silver, red and white; each edition also reproduces the original artwork, and the releases include the complete lyrics to the band’s songs for the first time. Between 1980 and 1986, Madness singles spent 214 weeks on the UK singles chart, a joint record for a group during the decade.
