The Liberty Of Norton Folgate 2LP Heavyweight Vinyl. This Heavyweight Vinyl is in stock. For more check out all the official Madness merchandise & vinyl available for home delivery with Vinyl Records London, only £22 +P&P The Liberty of Norton Folgate is the ninth studio album from Madness and widely considered to be their magnum opus. Originally released in May 2009, and taking nearly three years to make, the record was the first with the full band since 1999s Wonderful and was developed as a concept album about the bands home town. The ten minute long title track tells the history of a part of East London Norton Folgate, near Spitalfields which, for a period, remained free from the Crowns ruling and was therefore referred to as a liberty, where normal rules of city life did not apply. The album finds the band in full creative flow, with song after song including the tracks that didnt make it onto the standard CD or LP release showcasing the maturity and depth of their songwriting prowess. Includes the singles NW5, Dust Devil Forever Young and Sugar and Spice and this extended 2LP version features seven bonus tracks. Available on heavyweight vinyl in gatefold packaging, and featuring exclusive new liner notes containing interviews with Suggs, Lee Thompson, Chrissyboy Foreman, Daniel Woodgate and Mike Barson, as well as an exclusive poem by Cathal Smyth.
Heavyweight vinyl is pressed on thicker, denser material—typically weighing 180 grams or more. This added weight offers improved durability, reduced warping, and is often believed to provide better sound quality due to more stable playback. Many audiophile releases, reissues, and deluxe editions are pressed on heavyweight vinyl, making it a popular choice among collectors and music enthusiasts who value both performance and longevity. While it doesn’t automatically guarantee superior audio, its solid, premium feel and association with high-quality production standards have made it a trusted format for serious vinyl fans.
Vinyl records are a timeless format that continues to captivate music lovers with their warm, analogue sound. Unlike digital formats, vinyl offers a rich, textured listening experience that many argue feels more authentic and immersive. With their larger artwork and tangible presence, records bring a sense of nostalgia and artistry to any music collection.
Whether you’re a seasoned collector or new to the world of vinyl, records have a unique ability to connect listeners to music on a deeper level. Their physical grooves and the ritual of placing a needle on a spinning disc create a tactile and engaging experience. From classic albums to modern releases, vinyl remains a cherished way to enjoy music.
