IMPORTANT INFORMATION…

· Read very carefully prior to making a purchase:



  • This is a very simple and easy to use website, no need to register or provide password or security details, just click on the item you want and pay with Paypal - it couldn't be simpler.

  • This shop has been created for the sale of the contents of a single Madness collection, consequently, for the majority of items, there is just one of each available. The prices advertised are the price we paid when we bought the items + postage (sometimes less than what we paid for them!) This is a not-for-profit website, our sole purpose is to sell this collection of Madness items to create some space at home and if possible recover our original outlay.

  • If you want more than one of a specific item, you are welcome to try to buy several of them through this site via Paypal, we will send you as many as we have and refund you in full for those we cannot supply.
  • This website is updated approx once every 24 hours accordingly there is a possibility that the item you are buying may have already sold to someone else earlier in the day. If this happens we will refund you in full, the moment we next update the site. We apologise for being unable to fulfil your order in such circumstances.
  • A Paypal account is required for all automated transactions carried out on this website.
  • Items can only be sent to the address specified by Paypal.
  • Payment by UK cheque, UK Postal Order, UK cash (sent at your risk) or Bank Transfer are also accepted, please email us to reserve the items for you and explain how you wish to pay and we will forward the payment details to you.
  • For a limited period we will cover all postage costs to UK destinations. For purchases outside the UK please contact us with details of the items you want to buy and we will send you a Paypal invoice for the total with international postage, for you to consider.
  • Valuable parcels will be sent within the UK by Special Delivery / Registered Post at our own expense, an additional charge will be necessary for items sent worldwide.
  • We aim for all UK items to arrive within 5-10 days of cleared funds being received.
  • We aim for all International items to arrive between within 10-20 days of cleared
    funds being received.
  • Items can be collected directly from us by prior appointment only.
  • Please remember the majority of our items are second hand, however they are all in excellent condition or better unless otherwise stated.

  • The item you receive will usually, but not always, be the actual item shown in the image on this website. In instances where we have more than one of the same identical item, the item you receive may not be the actual item shown, but will be in at least as good condition as that which is shown and described.

  • All items are standard UK issues unless otherwise stated.
  • Feel free to contact us if you have queries about specific items.

  • Feel free to contact us if you are looking to make a very large order as a discount may be possible.
  • Should you wish to acquire this entire collection of items, please feel free to contact us - we can throw the website in for free should you want it to sell on any spares you end up with.
  • In the rare instance of a problem with your order, please attempt to resolve matters directly with us, prior to considering submission of a formal Paypal claim.

  • The copyright of all the images made for this website together with the RM logo and the names "The 'Retro' Madness Shop" and "Retro-Madness" are owned by Retro-Madness. Images from this website may be neither copied nor used on any other website, email attachment or publication without our prior consent.

  • You will find only deleted official Madness items at retro-madness.co.uk. We strongly recommend the band's own shop at recordstore.co.uk/madshop for all current official Madness items.

· Our Purpose:



  • This website is owned by two Madness fans who, having been together for the past 8 years have realised that maintaining two comprehensive Madness collections is excessive! Therefore with some reluctance the decision has been made to part with one of our collections, both to free up some space and also to enable other fans to have the opportunity of obtaining a number of rare items for their own collections. The prices advertised are the prices paid when these collectibles were acquired by us + postage (sometimes slightly less than what we paid), therefore discounts are difficult but not impossible for larger orders, as the more we are able to dispose of the more space we will make at home!
  • There are over 1,000 different items currently available in this Madness store, there are many hundreds more items to be added, but this will be done gradually when other items sell. 1,000 items is around the maximum capacity for this site without significantly slowing its performance. Feel free to keep checking back over the next weeks, months (and years?!) to see the additional items that we will be steadily adding. Our purpose is to sell our spare collection in its entirity, when everything has sold this site will cease to be. Please do not ask about items we have yet to add as they will not be available to purchase until they are listed on this site.

  • Feel free to contact us should you be looking to sell your own Madness items. We are still maintaining our primary collection which we are constantly adding to, but for items we do not require ourselves, we may still be able to offer advice and assistance. For general valuation advice we recommend you consult the guide prices provided in the Madness Central Discography (see the 'Discography' page), before contacting us.

  • In addition to the shop items which are located only along the top menu bar of buttons, we are also providing detail on other Madness topics / trivia which can be viewed from the other buttons located below the shop menu bar. When it comes to excellent reference websites, Madness fans are already very well served by the Official site, Madness-Central and the MIS Online site. Accordingly, rather than replicate these excellent resources our aim is to provide detail on other specific matters of interest not covered by these other sites, so in many ways our objective is to provide the ultimate online service for Madness collectors and connoisseurs! 
  • This site is intended to provide a reliable and friendly service to complement the range of facilities available to the Madness fan community and to help fans fill holes in their Madness collections. We are driven by a desire to help spread a bit of Madness around the globe and to help fill the void that has been left by the sad demise of the UK's small independent record shops in recent years. Selling second hand Madness items at cost price is very time consuming and definitely not financially rewarding, other than enabling us to recover some of the money we have spent on Madness collectables over the years. We have been very reliable members of the Madness fan community for many years and hope to continue to be so for many years to come.
