First inspired by Motown artists, Ryder was then drawn to the Chicago house music of the 1980s, saying that his bass lines were “me trying to replicate that style but using a real instrument rather than a computer”.

James, meanwhile, made hay in that era, more by the coincidence of geography than any spiritual kinship: indeed, singer Tim Booth and founding bassist Jim Glennie were teetotal practitioners of Lifewave meditation at the time, and thus hardly archetypal ravers. Where the Mondays imploded in druggy disarray circa ’93, James went on to make another 12 studio albums, six of them charting highly.When Booth led off into 1999 B-side All Good Boys, it might’ve squandered the audience’s attention, had its meditation on father-son nurturing not been so poleaxingly poignant, nor duly been followed by Madchester-era megahit Come Home, the whole field erupting in joy at its doodling synth line and shuffling beat.

Elsewhere, in a prescient review in Vox magazine, the music writer Simon Reynolds described the band’s extraordinarily difficult fourth LP as being “as good as Happy Mondays get, but perhaps not good enough to matter. To recoup [its] outlay, [the] LP has to be laden with potential hit singles or to strike some kind of chord with a sizeable faction of the populace. Yes Please!, unless I'm very much mistaken, will fail on both counts.” Monroe, Jazz (15 July 2022). "Happy Mondays Bassist Paul Ryder Dies at 58". Pitchfork . Retrieved 16 July 2022. It perhaps goes without saying that the decision by the Happy Mondays to make their fourth album, Yes Please!, in the sun-kissed paradise of the Caribbean was not without incident. Recorded at Blue Wave Studios, a lavish complex owned by the reggae star Eddy Grant, its towering costs helped bankrupt Factory Records, the label on which it was released. With sales of 50,000 copies – far less than a quarter of its predecessor, Pills’n’Thrills And Bellyaches - it would be its authors’ last LP for 15 years.

The Ryder brothers formed what would eventually become the Happy Mondays in 1980 and signed with Factory Records in 1985, soon becoming a mainstay and standout act at label head Tony Wilson’s legendary “Madchester” epicenter and venue, the Hacienda. There’s nothing harder than teenage girls,” he said. “Lads are a doddle, lads are fine but teenage girls? It’s so dramatic and there’s screaming and insane drama all the time. I mean, I love them of course, but it’s a nightmare. We’re grandparents’ age now, me and Jo. My other kids are a bit older but it’s harder now with younger ones, it’s worse because of the internet and the communicating teenagers do now. But teenagers are always going to be difficult.
