Happy Mondays - Pills ‘n’ Thrills and Bellyaches Happy Mondays

Dinked Edition is limited to 1 per customer. Orders with multiple copies will be cancelled without notice. 

Originally released in 1990 by Happy Mondays, Pills ‘n’ Thrills and Bellyaches captured the chaotic, euphoric spirit of the Madchester movement, blending indie rock, acid house rhythms and funk grooves into a sound that helped reshape British alternative music. Featuring era-defining tracks such as “Step On” and “Kinky Afro,” the record became both a commercial breakthrough and a cultural snapshot of a generation fuelled by dance culture and Northern nightlife.

More than three decades later, its grooves, attitude and genre-blurring production still resonate strongly with contemporary audiences, influencing modern indie and electronic artists alike.

1LP Yellow + Blue Edition. All original audio remastered from Factory Records master tapes. Includes original album and brand new liner notes by James Brown, with half-and-half yellow and blue vinyl.
