Talk:Chas Smash

Inconsistencies over his initial career in Madness
It says that he was the lead vocalist on the single One Step Beyond (he was), yet also that he joined Madness in 1980 - but the One Step Beyond single was released in November 1979, so he must have joined in (late) 1979?

Further though, I believe that he isn't on the cover of the One Step Beyond album (the other 6 members are on it) - but he is on the next album cover (Absolutely) with the other 6 members. Certainly there are 6 Madness members shown on the cover of One Step Beyond and 7 on Absolutely.

So his initial membership seems to have occurred in stages, but the article should clarify.

Anyone know the Hampden Roar about Chas's real monicker? A lot of web pages say "Carl Smyth", including this page, but a lot of official Madness credits say "Cathal Smyth". Make up yer bacon rind, numpties! ;-) Pollythewasp (talk) 11:09, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
