Madness, By Woody
BACKGROUND
Check out this exclusive seven-track compilation EP—a must for hardcore collectors. This special release showcases some of Madness’ unforgettable songs written by Daniel Woodgate, spanning decades of the band’s rich musical legacy. From the 1980 instrumental classic The Return of the Los Palmas 7 to Circus Freaks from the 2012 album Oui Oui, Si Si, Ja Ja, Da Da, this collection highlights the unique songwriting contributions of one of Madness’ key members. Originally released on March 8th, 2024, The Original Playlist featured Round and Round from the 1999 album Wonderful.
