Madness hit their stride on Absolutely, the 1980 second album that turned the Nutty Boys from ska upstarts into a national institution, presented here as a UK import pressing.

Arriving barely a year after One Step Beyond, it kept the bounce of the 2 Tone era but showed a band already itching to write proper pop songs about everyday British life. Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley were back behind the desk after producing the debut, and Suggs and company sound sharper, cheekier and more confident throughout, with sax and piano doing as much storytelling as the lyrics.

Baggy Trousers is the obvious calling card, a gleefully chaotic look back at school days, while Embarrassment hides a more personal sting beneath its jaunty rhythm. The instrumental Return of the Los Palmas 7 drifts in like a faded holiday postcard, all lazy sway and seaside charm, and deeper cuts like E.R.N.I.E. show off the band's eccentric, music-hall side.

It's the sound of a seven-piece gang having the time of their lives while quietly turning into some of Britain's sharpest songwriters.

Decades on, Absolutely still feels like the moment Madness proved they were built to last, and it remains a cornerstone of any serious British pop collection.
