Two CD set. Original soundtrack to the 2018 documentary about Madness saxophonist Lee Thompson. Includes tracks from Madness, Crunch, 'Thommosina Leigh', Ian Dury, and the Lee Thompson Ska Orchestra. Lee "Kix" Thompson is a most unlikely character. Early career choices had him spend a year in a detention center. He still hasn't found the receipt for his first saxophone. Luckily, he met two other unlikely characters: Mike Barso Barson and Chrissy Boy Foreman who shared his interests of graffiti, train hopping and music. This hilarious and joyful feature length film follows the journey of Lee from meeting Barso and Chrissy Boy, and later Suggs, Chas, Woody and Bedders, and them starting to make music together in what was to become one of Britain's most iconic and successful bands, Madness. Following the path of Lee's life through his lyrics in such classes as "The Prince", "Embarrassment", "House of Fun", "Lovestruck" and "NW5", the band, friends, family and musicologists discuss his work, but strangely they all look a little like Lee.
