Duff Interview: Jean-Pierre Boutellier and the Madness 30th Anniversary
Tribute Album, 11/2008
Interview réalisée en novembre 2008 par Stephen Shafer
Réponses en anglais et en français www.duffguidetoska.blogspot.com
To mark the 30th anniversary (!) of the release of Madness' first single and
their debut album One Step Beyond... (both in 1979), mega-fan Jean-Pierre
Boutellier is assembling a Madness tribute album that will be released on Big
8 Records in the spring of 2009. As you will read below, JP is no stranger to
the French ska scene--he's managed a few ska bands (like Les Frelons, who were
featured on several Unicorn "Skankin' Round the World" compilations
in the late 80s/early 90s); produced two French ska comps, including one for
Moon; hosted a plethora of ska radio shows; and published the long-running
Skanews zine (JP was kind enough to remind me of an interview he did with me
in 2000, when I was running 7 Wonders of the World Music, which can be found
here).
To date, JP's Madness tribute album features some big brand-name acts on the
scene, such as Dr. Ring Ding, King Django, Desorden Publico, "Rocksteady"
Freddie Reiter (of the New York Ska Jazz Ensemble), as well as Nouvelle Vague
(a pop group that covers New Wave and post-punk songs in a lounge style) and a
slew of newer European, South American, and Australian ska bands. Considering
the extraordinary array of brilliant ska and pop songs that Madness created
over the past three decades, this record should be a winner and we can't wait
to hear it!
Duff Guide To Ska: On the Madness tribute album's Facebook, page, you state
that the band is aware that you are putting together this compilation and has
essentially given you their blessing. Which members of Madness have you been
in touch with and what has been their reaction to this project? And will they
have any involvement in the release of this record?
Jean-Pierre Boutellier: First thanks a lot for this interview.
Let's introduce myself for your readers. I am Jean-Pierre Boutellier, 42 years
old. I run the http://french-mis.be French non-official Madness fan club. In
the past, I managed some Ska Reggae bands like Les Frelons (1988-1991). I also
produced some [French ska] samplers like Skappellation for Moon Ska/Moon Ska
Europe in 1999 and It's a Frenchy Ska Reggae Party 3 in 2001. I also worked on
a paper skazine called "Skanews" between 1993 to 2002 (I put the
interviews and reviews on http://skanews.net) and released Ska radio show
called "Skanews" on several Independent French FM and web radios
between 1984 to 2003.
Madness is my favourite band since 1979. I wanted to do something for the 30th
anniversary of the first Madness hit, "The Prince"... Madness gave
me since 29 years lot of emotion and more! Madness, it's like a brother for
me, who give me energy when I am sad, and give me more happiness when I am top
of form... So, I wanted to do something to pay tribute to this great band. My
first idea was to release a remix album of some of Madness tunes and send the
CD to the members...But Jérome Lanvin who run Big 8 Records in France (Big 8
Records produced some bands like Jah On Slide and Cherry Boop and the Sound
Makers and some Ska samplers as So Precious Ska) ask me to work on a Madness
tribute album.
I send an e-mail to Garry Blackburn, Madness' manager. He send me an e-mail to
tell me: "Thanks for the amazing job you do on the Madness info service
(French MIS). The band are very flattered by your idea (Madness tribute album)
and wish you all the best with the project".
No, Madness members are not involved on the release of this record. But some
musicians (very good friends to Madness members) will play on this record!
Heu... perhaps we will receive a Madness cover by the Maddies under a nickname!
Who knows? Imagine Chris on vocals, Carl on piano, Mike on bass, Suggs on
guitar... it will be great, but, JP, please, stop dreaming!
I am also very happy that the MIS Online/Madness Central (UK and US fan clubs
featuring members of all the world) is also involved on this project... They
will record some "surprises" for this tribute album.
The artwork of the cover and the booklet will be release by Mister B and Sean
Gaskin.
In fact, it's important to say that all the rights of the songs will be paid
to Sacem/SDRM in France, who distribute the writers, artists etc. royalties
via MCPS/PRS, copyright control etc...
When I said yes to Jérome Lanvin to work on the band choice for this sampler,
I said to him that it is very important to me that the all the rights will be
paid and that all the bands will a have a deal. I saw too much problems about
this (money, deals...) in the past with other labels. Jérome is a serious
man, so no problems to me to work with him on this record.
About the bands and the covers. We can't say to a band that we put it on the
sampler if we have not listen to their cover (demo version in the first time
or final mix for the bands who have recorded a Madness song in the past). We
have received many tracks and for some we have said yes, it's alright, your
version will be on the tribute album and you will have a deal etc... and for
some we have said no (for different reasons)
Merci beaucoup de m'interviewer.
Je me présente pour vos lectrices et lecteurs. Je m'appelle Jean-Pierre
Boutellier, j'ai 42 ans. je m'occupe du site http://french-mis.be fan-club
francophone non offciel du groupe Madness. Dans le passé, j'ai managé des
groupes Ska reggae dont les Frelons (de 1988 à 1991), travaillé sur
plusieurs compilations dont Skappellation pour Moon Ska/Moon Ska Europe en
1999 et It's a Frenchy Ska Reggae Party 3 en 2001. J'ai édité un fanzine
Ska, "Skanews" entre 1993 et 2002 et produit une émission de radio
Ska sur différentes FM et web radios françophones entre 1984 et 2003.
Madness est mon groupe préféré depuis 1979. je voulias absolument faire
quelque chose pour les 30 ans du premier tube de Madness, "The
Prince" en 2009. Madness m'a donné beaucoup de bonnes vibrations durant
29 ans. Madness, c'est un peu comme le grand frère que je n'ai jamais eu. Ce
groupe par sa musique m'a donné de l'énergie quand j'étais pas bien, et
plus de pêche encore quand j'étais en gand forme. Donc je voulais, en
retour, leur rendre hommage. Ma première idée était de remixer plusieurs de
leurs morceaux de de leur envoyer le CD. mais Jérome Lanvin du label Big 8
Records (production de groupes comme Jah On Slide et Cherry Boop and the Sound
Makers ou de compils Ska comme So Precious Ska) m'a proposé de travailler sur
le Madness tribute album.
J'ai envoyé un mail au manager de Madness, Garry Blackburn, Il m'a répondu
dans la positive, me disant que le groupe était très flatté par ce projet.
Aucun membre de Madness n'est impliqué dans ce projet. Mais certains
musiciens très amis du groupe y participent.
Mais...peut-être allons-nous recevoir un titre enregistré par les maddies
sous un faux nom... Imaginez Chris au chant, Carl au piano, Mike à la
basse... Se serait génial! Mais, bon, c'est beau de rêver! Lol.
Je suis très heureux que le MIS Online/Madness Central (fan club anglais et
US réunissant des membres du monde entier) participe aussi à ce projet avec
l'enregistrement de plusieurs surprises pour le disque.
La pochette et les dessins du livret vont être réalisés par Mister B et
Sean Gaskin.
C'est très important pour moi de dire que tous les droits des chansons de ce
disque seront payés à la SACEM/SDRM en France qui s'occupera de la
redistribution à MCPS/PRS, copyright control etc...
Quand j'ai dis à Jérome que j'étais d'accord pour travailler sur le choix
des groupes/morceaux pour cette compilation, je lui ai précisé qu'il était
très important pour moi que tous les droits soient payés et que les groupes
aient un contrat. Jérome est quelqu'un de sérieux, donc pas de problèmes de
ce côté là, j'ai confirmé le fait que je bosserais sur ce disque.
Au sujet des groupes et des reprises. nous ne pouvons dire à un groupe qu'il
sera sur le disque si nous n'avons pas écouté sa reprise (en premier lieu
une démo). nous avons reçu de nombreux titres. Pour certains groupes nous
avons dit "oui", pour d'autres "non".
DGTS: Of the tracks you are receiving, are they mostly faithful covers of
Madness tunes or are the ska bands doing their own interpretations--changing
the songs a bit to reflect their own particular style of ska? And which
Madness song have the bands wanted to cover the most?
JP: The idea is very simple: try to find bands all over the world who want to
release a very own cover of a Madness song.
I don't want to do a Ska sampler. Madness is not a Ska band. It's a band who
like to put time to time some Ska and Reggae spices on their music! I am not
happy when on radios the DJ say: "It was 'Our House,' a big Ska hit by
the best UK Ska band, Madness."
If "Our House" is a Ska tune, "Let's Dance" by David Bowie
is a big rap hit!
I don't want on this record "clone covers" (I have lot of respect to
all the Madness tribute bands in UK, but it was too simple and not exciting to
put songs by these bands).
I think it will be great to have several styles...imagine "Los Palmas
7" in a 60s Ska style, "Mrs. Hutchinson" or "Our
House" in Latin Salsa Style, "My Girl" in a great pop style
sung by a woman, "Johnny The Horse" sung in Italian, "The Opuim
Eaters" in Electro Dub style or "You Said" in a today Brit Rock
Pop style!
No problems with the covers, we send list of "free" tracks to the
bands. Also, bands are very imaginative. It's a great good surprise for me to
see bands who want to cover songs like "Never Ask Twice" or "Day
On The Town."
At time we try to find bands who want to do very own covers of "Embarrassment"
or "Shut Up."
L'idée est très simple, trouver des groupe du monde entier qui veulent
reprendre dans leur propre style un titre de Madness.
Je n'ai jamais eu l'idée de faire une compilation Ska. Madness n'est pas un
groupe de Ska. C'est un groupe qui de temps en temps épice sa musique de sons
Ska ou Reggae. Je suis outré quand j'entends à la radio l'animateur dire
"C'était le plus grand groupe Ska anglais Madness dans l'un de ses tubes
Ska "Our House." Si "Our House" est un morceau Ska, "Let's
Dance" de David Bowie est un tube rap!
Je ne veux pas non plus d'un tribute avec des morceaux "Clonés."
J'ai beaucoup de respect pour les Madness tribute bands anglais, mais les
mettre sur cette compilation aurait été trop facile et pas assez original.
Je pense qu'il faut laisser libre cours à l'imagination des groupes quant à
l'interprétation de leur reprise. Imaginez "Los Palmas 7" en
version 60's Ska, "Our House" ou "Mrs. Hutchinson" en
version Salsa Latino, "The Opium eaters" en Electro Dub!
Nous recherchons actuellement des groupes pour reprendre à leur manière
"Embarrassment" et "Shut Up."
DGTS: From what you've heard so far, do you have any favorite covers that have
been submitted for inclusion on the album?
JP: I love all of them...but I am very happy for the JAG version of "You
Said." Very own version! Kick the ass... I think it will be a massive
hit, if the band put the video on MTV2!
Je les aime toutes! Mais je suis envoûté par la version de "You Said"
par JAG. Un vrai coup de pied dans le cul! Si la vidéo passe sur MTV2, je
suis sûr que se sera un véritable tube!
DGTS: What is your all-time favorite Madness song? And how did you come to be
such a huge fan of the band?
JP: I love all the Madness tracks, except the melody of "Memories"...don't
know why! My favourite album is The Rise and Fall. Favorites songs: "Embarrassment,"
"NW5," "Johnny The Horse," "You Said," "Samantha,"
"Missing You," "Give Me a Reason," "Bingo,"
"Dust Devil," "Sarah's Song"...stop!
J'aime tous les titres de Madness sauf la mélodie de "Memories"...
Je ne sais pas pourquoi! Mon album préféré est The Rise and Fall. Mes
titres favoris: "Embarrassment," "NW5," "Johnny The
Horse," "You Said," "Samantha," "Missing You,"
"Give Me a Reason," "Bingo," "Dust Devil,"
"Sarah's Song"...stop!
DGTS: It seems like the majority of bands involved in this project are
European. Are you expecting more contributions from American ska bands? (If
not, why do you think there hasn't been more interest on this side of the
Atlantic?)
JP: Lot of European bands, but some of South America, like Niko Costello,
Desorden Publico, and Inspector.
From USA we will have King Django with a great version of "Night Boat To
Cairo" and Freddie of NYSJE who played as Freddy Loco. Perhaps more from
US soon, but lot of US (very popular in all the world) bands want many dollars
before the release of the sampler!
We also have bands from Down Under.
You can find all the news, photos, videos, listen to some tracks of the
Madness tribute album on our Facebook page.
Oui, beaucoup de groupes Européens. Plusieurs aussi d'Amérique du Sud comme
Niko Costello, Desorden Publico, et Inspector.
Pour les Etats-Unis, King Django reprend de très belle manière "Night
Boat To Cairo" et Freddie du New York Ska Jazz Ensemble joue de la flûte
sur le morceau de Freddy Loco. Il y aura peut-être d'autres groupes US. mais
de nombreux groupes américains très connu nous ont demandé beaucoup de
Dollars avant la sortie du disque pour qu'ils jouent dessus !!
Vous pouvez trouver toutes les informations, photos, vidéos, titres à écouter
du Madness tribute album sur Facebook.
DGTS: Will the Madness tribute album be distributed in the United States?
DGTS: Since you're a massive Madness fan with connections to the band, do you
have any idea when The Liberty of Norton Folgate [their brand new album] will
be released?
JP: Madness have work on this album since around three years. I have listen to
lots of tracks of this record (live versions) and I can say that the band done
a great work. I think it will be a masterpiece like The Rise and Fall. I think
the band wait until 2009 to release this record. 2009 will be a great year for
Madness fans...30th anniversary! Records, concerts, surprises!
Madness a travaillé sur cet album pendant près de 3 ans. J'ai écouté de
nombreux titres en version live de cet album et je peux dire que le groupe a
fait de l'excellent travail. Je pense que se sera un Chef d'oeuvre tout comme
l'était The Rise and Fall. Le disque sortira certainement en 2009 pour les 30
ans du groupe. 2009 sera une belle année pour les fans de Madness: disques,
concerts, surprises...
Again thanks a lot for this interview. The Madness tribute album is out now.
Encore merci pour cette interview. l'album en Hommage à Madness est dans les
bacs depuis octobre 2009.
Salut JP , bravo et merci pour le super boulot que tu fais sur le web pour ce groupe que j'adore aussi depuis 30 ans ! Je suis impatient d'écouter l'album tribute. Je serai sur Camden Street la semaine prochaine pour voir un autre favori à moi (Devo!) , mais j'aurai sans doute la tête pleine de Madness... je reviens sur tes sites réguliérement, alors A+.
