Happy Mondays - Pills, Thrills and Bellyaches


Erm... this is being given away with this weeks Guardian newspaper... so il whack it on here too...

For those that don't know its something akin to the queen reading Nuts magazine..... id love to see the faces of those guardian readers when they whack this into the stereo and Shaun William Ryder's loose tongue and even looser morals pours out in full techno colour at them.... fucking mint !!


A high (literally and metaphorically) point of the baggy scene this was the Happy Mondays finest hour in popularity stakes, the people aren't always right of course and 24 Hour Part People and Bummed are greater beasts in my own opinion but Pills Thrills and Bellyaches brought the band to the masses and the classes.... full of lyrical genius from SWR and funky, skunky guitar courtesy of much under rated guitarist Mark Day this was one of those albums that was never off the stereo.... lets see if the guardian readers think the same !!

Happy Mondays before the drugs took hold! 

released in 1985 the forty five EP was before my time but its sheer genius... simple and captivating and thats when the Happy Mondays were at there best imho.
