''One Step Beyond...'' is the 1979 debut album by British {{Ska}} band Music/{{Madness}}, best known for their hits "One Step Beyond", "The Prince" and "Nightboat To Cairo". Together with ''Music/TheRiseAndFall'' (1984) it is seen as one of their best. In a case of FirstInstallmentWins, ''One Step Beyond'' is still the one that usually represents the group in "best album" polls and even has a book written about it. This is perhaps a little strange, since although there's certainly an almost-universal ''affection'' for the LP, few fans or critics actually consider it their ''best''.
