Pills 'n' Thrills and Bellyaches (Remastered): Deluxe 4CD Bookset

Deluxe edition of the seminal 90s Madchester classic, 4 x CD set plus 60-page hardback book housed inside a slipcase

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.

4CD Edition. All original audio remastered from Factory Records master tapes. Includes original album, Hallelujah + Madchester Rave On, Baby Big Head Bootleg Album  (Live at Elland Road, 1991), classic and new remixes, 60-page book with brand new essays from James Brown and Central Station designers.
