Madness to Reissue "Take It or Leave It" on DVD

August 28, 2013 By Mike Duquette Leave a Comment

Madness Take It or Leave ItMadness may be all in the mind, but in October it'll be on your TV screens thanks to a new reissue of the band's film, Take It or Leave It, coming from Salvo Music in October.

Directed by Stiff Records founder Dave Robinson and released in 1981, Take It or Leave It is a docudrama about the beloved British ska group, combining staged vignettes with live footage and other fun stuff. Released in conjunction with the band's third album, 7, the film features various studio and live versions of songs from the band's discography up to that point, including "One Step Beyond," "Baggy Trousers" and many more. (One song, "Sunshine Voice," remains unreleased on any album.)

Salvo's new reissue of Take It or Leave It features, for the first time, a soundtrack CD. Alas, "Sunshine Voice" isn't included, in favor of a simple compilation of released songs from the film (including two non-Madness tracks). The new DVD does, however, retain a 2002 commentary on the film recorded by Robinson with Madness guitarist Chris Foreman. (A bit of bad news for collectors outside of the U.K., though: Amazon lists the DVD as PAL formatted only.)

In any case, it's due out on October 7; pre-order links and a track list for the soundtrack are after the jump.

Michael Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he discovered there was more than one version of John Williams' soundtrack to E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, with bylines on catalog at Discogs, City Pages and Ultimate Prince and credits on titles including the Grammy-winning 'Squeeze Box: The Complete Works of "Weird Al" Yankovic.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with an ever-expanding collection of music.
