Madness Theatre of the Absurd Presents C’est La Vie (Enhanced Edition) Limited Deluxe Zoetrope Vinyl LP/2CD Bookpack

Overview:

Limited deluxe edition with Zoetrope vinyl, 2CDs and flexi disc in bookpack casing.

The governing principle behind 'Theatre Of the Absurd Presents C'est La Vie', is: 'let Madness be Madness'. The result is an album of typically timeless brilliance that also reflects the wonky years of its creation. On release the album soared triumphantly to claim Madness's first ever UK No.1 studio album. Now they return with an Enhanced Edition of the album which features 5 brand new songs from the original album sessions and 7 unreleased live tracks recorded on 2023’s C’est La Vie tour including the band’s cover of The Specials classic ‘Friday Night Saturday Morning’.
