BACKGROUND
Although the original release featured the comic sleeve on January 16, 1981, Stiff Records quickly issued a second version featuring the canteen sleeve, both of which featured the remixed and overdubbed version of ‘The Return Of The Los Palmas 7’ (the title now prefaced with the definite article) was issued as a third single from Absolutely. The song is mainly instrumental, except for some ad-libbing by Chas Smash at the beginning, the sound of “Waiter!” approximately 42 seconds into the track and “Good night!” at the very end. Dave Robinson, head of Stiff Records, was keen on Madness recording another instrumental track, especially after the success of “One Step Beyond…” The B-side, ‘That’s The Way To Do It‘, was Foreman’s tribute to his days as an “odd job man”, set to a cockney bar-room knees-up which doffed its flat cap to the bygone era of music hall.
