Released 21st August 2026

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.
