Madness: Absolutely version on vinyl LP in Remastered edition. This particular edition was published in United Kingdom in publishing company EMI in cooperation with Union Square Music and BMG on 23. July 2021.

Union Square Music's 30th anniversary campaign for the release of Madness continues with the second album Absolutely, featuring the classic school anthem "Baggy Trousers." It also includes the joyous instrumental "The Return Of The Los Palmas 7" and the band's first real foray into the world of social commentary with the excellent "Embarrassment". This is classic early Madness, a snapshot of the band's journey from their beginnings as crazy ska boys to international pop superstars. Review: Absolutely is an album that plays in minor keys to the accompaniment of lyrics about lottery losers (E.R.N.I.E.), prisoners (Not Home Today) and jilted lovers (In The Rain). Another great single is featured in Embarrassment, a gritty drama about a family in trouble over their daughter's racially mixed pregnancy..." (4/5 - Simon Goddard, Q Magazine) "A great document of an era and a sublime collection of timeless pop music? Absolutely." (Paul Lester) The 40th anniversary edition of Madness' second studio album 'Absolutely' [UK #2], reissued on 180g black vinyl with exclusive liner notes by Stevie Chick, including interviews with Chris Foreman and Lee Thompson. Includes singles Baggy Trousers, Embarrassment and The Return of the Los Palmas 7.

Album spans genres Rock and Ska. 180g 40th Anniversary 180gm Edition Vinyl.
