Happy Mondays had a meeting with McGough and Wilson, who gave the band three options on where to record: a studio in Amsterdam, which they all were against; a studio inside a formerly used church in Manchester, which was run by pop producer Pete Waterman; or a studio in Barbados. Waterman had made a pitch to produce the band's next album, which Ryder and Whelan were against while the rest of the band plus McGough were up for. Whelan stated if they went with Waterman, he would quit. All of them went with Barbados, bar Day who wanted to make the next album in Manchester. When asked by the band why he wanted to be in Manchester, Day reasoned that they all had families there. [22] Monroe, Jazz (15 July 2022). "Happy Mondays Bassist Paul Ryder Dies at 58". Pitchfork .

[16] The band and Factory Records wanted to enlist Oakenfold and Osborne for their next album, but the pair was fully booked until June 1992 at the earliest. [17] Concerned that they could not wait that long, McGough and Wilson decided to look for other producers. [18] Paul Ryder was listening to Conscious Party (1988) by Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers, learning that it was produced by Talking Heads and Tom Tom Club members Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth, and thought they would be ideal producers for Happy Mondays' next album. [19] Around the same time, the band had a new booking agent, Ian Flooks, who also worked with Frantz and Weymouth. When Flooks caught wind that the band were looking for producers, he suggested the pair. [20]

The band announced in September 2012 that they were writing their first album with the original lineup in more than 20 years. [ citation needed] Ryder, whose brother Shaun fronted the group, was a founder member since their formation in 1980 and had rejoined for the group’s most recent reunion in 2012. Released on August 31, the lead-off single from Yes Please!, Stinkin’ Thinkin’, debuted on the UK chart at number 39. Barely a month later, its parent LP stalled at number 14. The only international chart troubled by its presence was Australia, at number 99. According to Shaun Ryder, “it was not a good album. There were no catchy grooves… it had absolutely no character.

We’ve just seen your amazing exhibition at salford gallery and were blown away by the art work we particularly like the cat with big ears, the tulips and the kids doing stuff and animals!!! Having always been fans of the Monday’s and the accompanying art work we were chuffed to find ourselves in Manchester this weekend when we read the article in the guardian.”

The band signed to Creation Management in 2015. They have announced an international tour to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the Pills 'n' Thrills and Bellyaches. Then they started to play me the rehearsals and they hadn’t done much work. I mean, by the time the record was finished, they still hadn’t done very much work,” Marr recalled. “I could tell they weren’t going to take no for an answer, but the idea of going to Barbados at the time with the Happy Mondays for 8, 10, 12 weeks was just absolutely terrifying.” That probably explains why it was a much darker and more somber album compared to the upbeat and carefree Pills ‘n’ Thrills and Bellyaches or the euphoric Madchester Rave On EP. Clearly, they knew the party was coming to an end and the hangover was about to hit them like a locomotive. “Kiss me for old times sake/ Kiss me for making you wait/ Kiss me for screwing everything in sight/ Kiss me for never getting it right,” Ryder sings on the seductive and silky lead single “Stinkin’ Thinkin,’” which is one of the few highlights on the album.

How about the publicity you, Maria and the exhibition has caught over the last 6 months. Its been really well received hasn’t it, on many different levels. But what would you like to think the images and the whole idea behind it can influence in other artists and those who have Downs Syndrome maybe? This is also the ‘first’ collaborationExhibition held in the history of art between a (so called) established Artist and a person with Downs syndrome – so we are proud of that fact. a b c d e "Happy Mondays | full Official Chart History".

As Central Station we have always had our own agenda, which is freedom of the mind, and Maria is following in this tradition. As I said Maria has no preconceptionsof what art is, this is a greatfreedom given as there is no trace of how or what art is. Its from the soul in much the same way as I have always seen art, its from the heart.
