You'll have read by now about the 1979 bootleg that has surfaced on file sharing sites this week. Well thanks to the wonderful wayfinder's hard work, on christmas eve (whilst ill with a cold and only cans of lager to console him ) you can now get this concert in MP3 free from the MIS download website.
Also the Electric Ballroom Concert from Christmas 2005 that has been widely sold as a dodgy DVD from market stalls is now online in the video section for free download for all readers and fans.
Most wonderfully though you can now also hear a set of 4 unheard demo/rehearsal versions of tracks from yesteryear. Some of which were demoed for an album after mad not mad that was never completed by Madness, as they became The Madness instead. We are calling this era "lost in the museum" reclaiming a title that was joked about by the band before they bought out the Mad Not Mad album.
Victoria Gardens (Rehearsal Demo) - [Keep Moving era]

We reported on Lost tracks being available on the Smash Website a while back in 2006. And Since the closure of that website we are able to bring you 4 more new tracks available as a zip file mp3's. Here they are:
Victoria Gardens (Rehearsal Demo) - [Keep Moving era]
It's for the Best (Lee Kix Demo)
She Walks Alone (Became Green Eyes) (Alt instrumental 'Golden Brown style!')
Be Good Boy (Instrumental version)
Be Good Boy (Instrumental version)
Because you've all been good this Christmas. Enjoy.
