Content

Although Madness Live: To The Edge Of The Universe And Beyond is named after the group's 2005-6 tour of the same name, many of the recordings are in fact older and some had been issued before ("Razor Blade Alley" and "The Sun and the Rain" in particular contain distinctive ad libs which make them easily recognisable as coming from the band's previous live LP, Madstock!). Two tracks, "Prospects" and "March of the Gherkins", appear in mono.
