Madness Central Interactive  Special Feature - One Step Beyond 33 1/3 Contest
Terry Edwards' One Step Beyond 33 1/3 from Continuum Books Contest

One Step Beyond isn’t the best album in the world – it’s not even the best album by Madness. It is, however, a great record and an exceptional debut album - fully formed despite half the band still being in their teens – and it remains as exhilarating, inspiring and as much fun as when people first heard it nearly 30 years ago. Through extensive interviews with the band, as well as producers Clive Langer & Alan Winstanley, Terry Edwards tells the inside story of how Madness rose to be the most successful singles band of the 1980s in the UK charts. 33 1/3 is a series of short books about a wide variety of albums, by artists ranging from James Brown to the Beastie Boys. Launched in September 2003, the series now contains over 60 titles. It is acclaimed and loved by fans, musicians and scholars alike.
