This remastered version of Dance Craze was released as part of the 2 Tone 40th Anniversary series and also for Record Store Day 2020. Unlike the US CD re-issue, this version has the Madness tracks reinstated. The entire collection of songs has certainly benefited from the remastering process, lending the recordings more presence and polish. This album more than most, illustrates just how much energy and excitement was generated by these bands and why 40 years later many of us are still under their spell.
