Happy Mondays is a rock/acid house fused group that emerged from the "madchester" scene in the late 1980s. Known for their legendary on and off-stage antics, lead singer Shaun Ryder and member Bez were notorious for their drink and drug-fueled behavior. Bez's unique dancing style became a highlight of their live gigs. One interesting story involves their recording session in Barbados, which resulted in the album "...Yes Please!" The band members attempted to sell studio equipment to sustain their binge due to the island's significant drugs problem at the time. After disbanding multiple times, they reunited with the original lineup in 2012.

Rough Trade Essential

Pills ‘n’ Thrills and Bellyaches was Happy Mondays commercial peak, both a No.4 victory and a benchmark album in history. That year the Mondays made a generation feel like the freaks were winning again, the dreamers and schemers hurtling in from the shadows to park themselves, like grin-faced goblins, in the daylight glare of the mainstream. Artwork lovingly replicated by original Manchester designers Central Station Design. Featured the singles Step On, Kinky Afro and Loose Fit.
