by Madness
One Step Beyond was written by Cecil Campbell (Prince Buster), in 1964 as the mostly instrumental ska tune "One Step Beyond" released as the B‑side to Prince Buster’s single "Al Capone". Written and recorded by Jamaican ska singer and bandleader Prince Buster (Cecil Bustamente Campbell), the track exemplifies 1960s Kingston ska and later provided the basis for Madness’s 1979 cover that opened their debut album. Through the hugely popular Madness version, which became a UK Top 10 hit in 1979, "One Step Beyond" gained lasting recognition as a classic of the ska revival while also keeping Prince Buster’s original composition in circulation.
