BACKGROUND

“Keep Moving” is the fifth studio album by the British band Madness, originally released in February 1984. This album holds particular significance as it was the band’s final release on the Stiff Records label, and the last album featuring the original line-up before keyboardist Mike Barson temporarily left the group. Barson would later rejoin Madness for their Madstock reunion in 1992 and then return full-time in 1999. The album reached No. 6 in the UK Albums Chart and features the fan favourite ‘Victoria Gardens’ plus the singles ‘Michael Caine’ and ‘One Better Day’, both of which reached the UK Singles Chart top 20. This expanded edition also contains 13 bonus tracks including the standalone singles ‘Wings of a Dove’ and ‘The Sun and the Rain’ plus B-sides and alternate mixes.

The 2024 reissue of “Keep Moving” is an expanded edition that offers fans additional content. This version includes 13 bonus tracks, featuring standalone singles like “Wings of a Dove” and “The Sun and the Rain,” along with various B-sides and alternate mixes. These additions provide a comprehensive look at the band’s work during this era and enrich the original album’s context.
