ABOUT THE BOOK

In the seventh issue, we delve into the exciting era of Two Tone, a pivotal movement in British history. This issue, we glimpse into the groundbreaking release of their debut single, “The Prince,” which made its mark by entering the UK charts and reaching the impressive position of number 16. Furthermore, we have an exclusive conversation with Daniel Rachel, the author of Too Much Too Young, about his inspiration growing up in Birmingham during this cultural revolution of the late 1970s and early 1980s.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Darren Bowen

Having been a dedicated fan and collector of Madness for over four decades, I've become recognized as a foremo st authority on the subject. The experience of receiving a Madness zine in the mail has become a rare occurrence, despite being able to easily access current news about the band online. However, there's something truly special about holding a tangible zine and taking a much-needed break from the digital world. The feeling of owning a piece of Madness history is truly indescribable.
