Happy Mondays – Bummed (Vinyl LP, Factory Records, 1988 Reissue) – Mint/ Sealed British Jazz It’s the sound of ColtraneA raw, psychedelic turn in the Happy Mondays catalogue, blending loose limbed grooves with the murkier edge of late 80s Manchester. The production moves between dubby space, jagged post punk rhythms and Shaun Ryders slurred, free form delivery. Its an unruly, atmospheric record that captures the band right before their crossover explosion. Vinyl LP Mint and Sealed.
