Description
Description
US/Canada Version. Strictly limited blue vinyl: a one-time pressing, never to be repressed. A new 2026 vinyl master, cut from transfers of the original ¼" master tapes prepared for the 2010 reissue, on 180gm heavyweight vinyl. Released on 26 September 1980, Absolutely kept the momentum of the debut going. Lead single 'Baggy Trousers' stayed on the singles chart for more than four months, and the title came from a favourite expression of the band's tour manager. The album reached No.2 in both the UK and the Netherlands, No.31 in New Zealand and No.56 in Australia, and also charted in Sweden, Germany, Norway and Finland. For the first time, the complete lyrics to the Madness-composed songs are printed on a 12" x 12"insert.. The original artwork from the album's initial release in 1980 has been reproduced for this reissue.
