MADNESS
THE GET UP!
WITH THE HELP OF CHARLIE HIGSON, PAUL WELLER AND ROLAND GIFT, SUGGS & CO SERVE UP A LIVE ALBUM WITHOUT AN AUDIENCE FOR THE MOST INVENTIVE SHOW OF LOCKDOWN, COMPLETE WITH BRAND NEW MATERIAL
BMG
★★★
Madness’ last full live album, Universal, was recorded in 1998 at a rare Stateside show in Los Angeles. They’ve waited more than 20 years to capture their famed intensity… only to release a live album recorded at an empty London Palladium. That’s a very Madness move, and The Get Up! shows how smart they were during lockdown.
