Happy Mondays – Pills ’N’ Thrills and Bellyaches (Vinyl LP, Factory Records, 1990) – Mint/ Sealed

A bright, groove-led record that blends dancefloor rhythms, baggy swing and the Mondays’ loose, fragmented vocal style. The production leans on warm basslines, layered percussion and colourful sampling that gives the album its distinctive haze. It’s an upbeat, rhythmic set that captures the sound of the Madchester era in full flow.
