It's genius, I've got all Madness albums and must admit I haven't listened to this for ages, I mostly listen to Oui Oui from the newer stuff, but had this on the other day and thought crikey it's genius! The section around 6:50 where the beat changes tempo is sublime. I just love how Madness are like a soundtrack to London.
My favourite song from my favourite Madness album. I love how you just imagine what it would be like in old London, the cultures, the smells and goings on. Amazing song!
One of the most amazing musical surprises I've had. Discovering one of the greatest songs Madness has ever done on an album released more than 25 years after their peak. Genius. Should be included on any subsequent Madness compilations (but I bet it won't be).
Cos in the Liberty of Norton Folgate Walking wild and free And in your second hand coat Happy just to float In this little taste of liberty Cos you’re a part of everything you see Yes you’re a part of everything you see
i didnt get this album at first but once you do its a piece of genius ....i love it so much especially around 7 minutes amazing rhythm from woody n bedders ,fear of the immigrants section .lovely banjo from chrissy boy x
BEST ALBUM THEY HAVE EVER DONE AND IT IS ON REPEATED MOBILE PHONE AND MY HI-FI-BUT THE SPEIALS COVENTRY ARE ALSO THERE AND SEEN THE BEAT IN WOLVERHAMPTON

This is the best track they ever done...if you know the band...you will understand...
From 3 beat to 4...and the messages have dark
It's running head to head to "Can't touch us now" full album

Masterpiece. They raised the bar with this one.

This is their greatest ever song, and to think its 25 yrs after their peak. Bloody amazing stuff it is basically 3 songs in one!!!

Even if it's a long song, i can listen to it many times a day !!!
The greatest singles band ever produces the greatest album track ever,
I took that CD by random from a staple in my local library. I regret nothing. This is genius!

Their best song and album by far!!
A nice piece of London history! Here's to y'all, Cockney's
Brilliant song.

This is an epic song. best I've heard eversince the 1980s. They know how to write a proper tune and great lyrics.
I've been pleasantly surprised to find that Madness have a song >10mins
Been a big fan for four 400 years love it
Cos in the Liberty of Norton Folgate
Walking wild and free
And in your second hand coat
Happy just to float
In this little taste of liberty
Cos you’re a part of everything you see
Yes you’re a part of everything you see
A masterpiece...
BY FAR THE LONGEST PRODUCTION the band made love the PRODUCTION, Album released back in 2009
So step by step we are and become England Just like that !! God bless the Queen and a nice brew.
My god their music would create a dozen different musicals. There should be a Liberty of Noton Folgate musical for sure. ❤

Ouahh merci madness.
Wow
Just noticed today after 14 odd years that Shoreditch (Shorditch) and Spitalfields (Spittlefields) are spelt wrongly on LP sleevenotes by Suggs..
5:37
Suggs has obviously been reading Peter Accroyd.
I used this song to introduce some ten year olds to psycho-geography, good fun.
Great concept album - check out BBC iPlayer catch-up Suggs’ Love Letters To London👍🏻
Was a great series.
