marcusnyahoe's review against another edition

5.0

The audio book is fantastic with the band narrating it themselves. To me Madness always captured the essence of the working class experience when I was growing up, and their voices and the way they tell the tales of their youth reinforces this. Most of them were right rogues in their younger days, but what comes through more than anything is a warmth and vulnerability of young men not quite sure where they are going but wanting to go somewhere.
