THE 'RETRO' MADNESS SHOP
The World's Largest Selection of Deleted Madness Items . . .

All Madness albums released on cassette in Japan in the 1980s are extremely rare and sell for large sums.

The Japanese cassette edition of Complete Madness has totally different sleeve artwork to any other official release of the album around the globe. I have monitored Ebay sales of Madness items for the past 25 years and to the best of my knowledge this item has never sold, it isn't even included on Discogs database.

Outer card sleeve is slightly worn but overall it is still in excellent condition.

This is one of those special hampers, a pretty unique limited edition Madness collectable from their highest profile performance of all time.

This set of Diamond Jubilee Concert items comprises:

1. Limited edition official Diamond Jubilee Concert picnic hamper issued to 2000 lucky ticket holders.
2. Official BBC programme for the Concert only issued to ticket holders.
3. Professional reproduction of an official invitation to the event.

5. Professional reproduction of the card wallet that held the invitation and ticket.
