Yippee-ippee-ey-ey-ay-yey-yey! On this Happy Wednesday, we bring you a beautiful Dinked Archive pressing of this absolute game-changing classic. The recent celebratory Pills ‘n’ Thrills and Bellyaches tour sold out all over the country, as many of us donned our baggies to rekindle our love for the album’s tunes, attitude and genre-blurring production – and now you can transfer those early 90s vibes to your living room via the grooves on this popping-pill colourway!

Originally released in 1990, the band’s Paul-Oakenfold-and-Steve-Osborne-produced 3rd album captured the chaotic, euphoric spirit of the Madchester movement, blending indie rock, acid house rhythms and funk grooves into a sound that helped reshape alternative music in Britain. 

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 and it remains 100% essential. So Step On it and bag(gy) yourself a copy now!

“a hedonistic and sampledelic Madchester masterpiece that reinvented post-punk for the rave era” 9.5/10 – Pitchfork

“The ever hyperbolic Tony Wilson proclaimed that Pills ‘N’ Thrills would be “one of the great British albums of the age”. He wasn’t wrong.” – Classic Pop Mag
