Massot later changed his plans to include the whole 2 Tone movement. The film, shot in 1980, comprised performance footage of Madness, [The Specials](/source/The_Specials), [The Selecter](/source/The_Selecter), [The Bodysnatchers](/source/The_Bodysnatchers_(band)), [the Beat](/source/The_Beat_(British_band)) and [Bad Manners](/source/Bad_Manners) on tour throughout the United Kingdom. A soundtrack album of the same name was released the same year, featuring fifteen of the songs that were featured in the film. Later versions of the soundtrack album do not contain the Madness tracks, adding tracks credited to the Special AKA, a later incarnation of the Specials. In 2023, *Dance Craze* returned to cinemas, and was released on [Blu-ray](/source/Blu-ray) and DVD.[2] ## Songs 1. "Nite Klub" – [The Specials](/source/The_Specials) 1.
