7 [CD]

Begun at Compass Point Studios in Nassau in the summer of 1981 and largely re-recorded back in London, 7 marked a big step forward in Madness' songwriting, from 'Grey Day' and 'Shut Up' to 'Cardiac Arrest'. The title was a nod to the lucky number seven, and the album reached No. 5 in the UK. This edition also includes 'It Must Be Love', the band's No. 4 cover of the Labi Siffre song.
