Overdue release of a classic long-lost 1974 album. With 26 tracks new to CD. From one of reggae music's most popular and influential music-makers. Having made his name as one of Jamaica's most versatile singer-songwriters with leading vocal acts, The Charmers and The Uniques, Lloyd 'Charmers' Tyrell set about creating an equally long-lasting legacy as a record producer. By the mid-1970s, he had scored numerous Jamaican best-sellers and was widely acclaimed as one of the island's most accomplished music-makers. In recognition of his success, leading UK-based reggae music company Trojan Records scheduled the 'Moody & Blue' LP, comprising a dozen of the best of Charmers's recent works as both a performer and producer. Yet, for reasons lost in the mists of time, the album never saw issue. Now, almost 50 years on, the collection finally receives it's long overdue release with this 2CD set, which also showcases the cream of Charmers's recordings as an artist from 1973 through to the close of the decade, with 26 tracks in total making their CD debut.

2017 collection from the British merry music makers. Madness continue to cement their position as the UK's favorite band, with their House Of Common and House Of Fun events becoming annual fixtures in every fan's calendar. Madness are national treasures, with a huge following. Their shows consistently sell out and sales of their current album confirm that, after nearly 40 years, they are still as relevant as they ever were. The last Madness best-of, Total Madness, was released in 2012 and comprised 23 singles. Since then the band have released two more studio albums: Oui Oui, Si Si, Ja Ja, Da Da and their current record, Can't Touch Us Now, each spawning three or four singles. Full House is a best-of and then some, featuring 42 of the band's very best songs, including the hit singles from all of their records (including the above), plus a few of the band's favorite album tracks. It is a joy to listen to; in mostly chronological order, the set charts the highlights of their career, from 1979's 'The Prince' to 2017's 'Another Version Of Me', with smash hit singles like 'Our House' and 'It Must Be Love' nestling in between.
