A Guided Tour of Madness


A Guided Tour of Madness is a 3-disc anthology which features 70 singles and album tracks and an exclusive DVD of the band's comeback concert at Madstock in 1992. It also includes a booklet with an interviews with the band, photos, the cartoon Nutty Comic and the Madness Map of Camden, the band's historic stomping ground.
The compilation is notable as containing the only official physical release of the track 'Le Grand Pantalon', which closes the collection. This slower, waltz version of Baggy Trousers, complete with accordion and double bass, as well as French lyrics, was originally created as part of Madness' participation in Kronenbourg's 'Slow The Pace' ad campaign. However, its popularity led to the band recording a full version, initially available only as a free download.
