Happy Mondays – Pills 'N' Thrills And Bellyaches

They defined the Madchester scene and personified rave culture. Incl. Step On, Kinky Afro.

Pills n Thrills and Bellyaches was the commercial peak of the Happy Mondays, both a No. 4 win and a milestone in history. That year, the Mondays made an entire generation feel like the freaks were winning again, the dreamers and schemers who emerged from the shadows to park themselves like grinning gremlins in the daylight of the mainstream.

The artwork has been lovingly recreated by the designers at Manchester's Central Station Design. Includes the singles Step On, Kinky Afro and Loose Fit.
