KIMONO OUR HOUSE : MADNESS IN JAPAN 1982

£9.95

Hanging Around Books' tenth release (HA010), "Kimono Our House: Madness In Japan 1982" features rare and previously unseen photographs of the Nutty Boys taken by Andre Csillag at various locations during the band's 1982 tour of Japan.

As Andre writes:

"In May 1982 I was asked by the manager of Madness, the late and sadly missed Matthew Sztumpf, to accompany the band on their first Japanese tour. These shots were taken over a period of a week in Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Nagoya and on bullet trains inbetween."

"It was an intense week of gigging, travelling, promotional work and making history. While in Japan, the band had their first number one on the UK singles chart and were filmed live via satellite from Tokyo introducing the video for that week’s chart topper, “House Of Fun” — a first for the BBC and Top of The Pops."

"Thanks to Graham "Suggs" McPherson, Cathal Smyth, Lee Thompson, Chris Foreman, Mike Barson, Mark Bedford and Dan “Woody” Woodgate for their time and the enjoyable madness."
