Yes Please

Product Information

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. One thing that this exhibition brings is that we all carrydisabilities in one way or another around with us all ourlife, but mostpeoplewith Downs don’t because they are free in some ways, from theoppressionofsocallednormal life. Maybe that’s why they are so loving, have the biggest smiles and give the best Hugs.

Yes Please!, then, may go largely uncelebrated as it passes its 25th anniversary. But its mixture of warm Caribbean sun and hard Manchester rain, sleek production sheen and lyrical despair, makes the album brilliantly unique, a weird combination of Eddy Grant, Joy Division, Tom Tom Club and one of the best lyricists in British history straining at the very end of his patience. Forget the four lousy songs that end Yes Please!, stop worrying about the demise of Factory and you can appreciate the first six songs on the album for their raw emotional power. Hi Matt and thanks for talking to LTW…’Ups & Downs’ is a real lively collection of work, the paintings are wonderful , the colours and effect are both exciting and rather striking. First off the exhibition itself and your own thoughts on the reactions and coverage so far?This for me stands up with the Best. I willcontinueas always to make art, its the only thing I can do. We are hoping to take this Exhibition to other parts of the country, and we are also in talks about taking it to New York, for which we will be working on new works for. And I will continue toencourage Maria to paint and draw. Wills, Dominic; Sheehan, Tom (1999). The Charlatans: The Authorised History. London: Virgin Books. ISBN 0-7535-0194-5. 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. I’ve seen a lot of people who live life on the edge, but I’ve never before seen a group of people who had no idea where the edge is,” Weymouth recalled.

Happy Mondays are always worth listening to and now they sound even better so devote a few hours to their swagger and slang and enjoy feeling part of one of our finest band of outlaws.

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.” As you might expect from the Happy Mondays at their chemical peak, it’s not exactly a sober affair – “Everything that’s ever been wrote about us is drugs, man,” says frontman Shaun Ryder at one point. “But then everything we’ve ever done is drugs.” – and in our opinion it deserves to be made into a movie at some point (a comedown response to 24 Hour Party People, perhaps).
