As you may know, Madness will be dropping their tenth studio album “Oui Oui, Si Si, Ja Ja, Da Da” worldwide on 29th October 2012. We celebrate this release here at REGGAE STEADY SKA with a very special countdown. Every day in the next ten days we are going to publish at least one article on one of the studio albums that came before “Oui Oui, Si Si, Ja Ja, Da Da”, each written by another Madness lover from all over the world.

“One Step Beyond”, “Absolutely”, “7”, “Madness Presents The Rise & Fall”, “Keep Moving”, “Mad Not Mad”, “Wonderful”, “The Dangermen Sessions”, “The Liberty Of Norton Folgate” will be talked about.

You will read texts from the USA, Argentina, New Zealand, the UK, Germany, Indonesia, Italy, Venezuela and more. Although the writers may come from different backgrounds – some are musicians, some journalists, some cherish to be (just) fans – all have one thing in common: Madness changed their lives. If you can relate, give them a shout out.

Lots of thanks to all the writers who took part in this. Many thanks to you for reading it. And praise goes out to Madness for giving us ten albums full of the greatest music
