By the time this album was recorded and released in '92, the Happy Mondays had visibly unraveled. Travelling to Barbados to record with Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz, the band--Ryder in particular--was spiraling into a pit of drug addiction.
The first half of this CD is very strong. Featuring rehab favorites "Stinkin Thinkin," "Monkey in the Family," "Sunshine and Love," and "Dustman," the drug theme quickly devolved into a drug-addled mess: Ryder spent less and less time in the studio and more and more time on the streets of Barbados looking for crack rocks. Not long after, Ryder excused himself from the record company meeting where the Mondays were renegotiating their contract to go buy heroin. They were instantly dropped from their label and the Happy Mondays were no more. This album is a lot better than its initial reviews stated. YES, PLEASE has a penetrating honesty about the disintegrating state of its creators, making it a confession album easy to like.

Spin (11/92, p.117) - Recommended - "...a kinder, gentler album...a worthy follow-up to PILLS N' THRILLS AND BELLYACHES...It still tastes great..."
Q (7/00, p.141) - Included in Q's "The Best Male Angst Albums Of All Time"
Q (10/92, p.80) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...a clutch of cuts that restore your faith in all things grubby, grinning and gleeful...shafts of Hammond, stabs of guitar and exhilarating, chaotic cacophony..."
NME (Magazine) (10/10/92, p.39) - "...the joyrider's equivalent to Neil Young's TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT--one of those awful black records to turn to when you're feeling at your most morbid..." Happy Mondays Yes, Please Songs Yes, Please Review

| | Ramones CD (1976) Deluxe Edition
Yes, Please songs
$6.89
Digitally remastered by Dan Hersch and Bill Inglot (Digiprep).
The Ramones' self-titled debut is a justifiably adored album--not just one of the best albums to come out of the initial New York punk explosion of the mid-'70s, but one of the greatest rock and roll albums of all time. RAMONES is one of those rare records where there is not a single weak or out-of-place song. Changeups like the bubblegummy near-ballad "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend" and the uncharacteristically harsh "53rd and 3rd" (an unsentimental song about Dee Dee Ramone's days as a teenage hustler) vary the album's sound and mood more than its detractors (and even some of its fans) maintain.
The 2001 reissue adds eight bonus tracks. Most are culled from early demos, ...

| | Sean Na Na Return Of The Unicorn CD (2000)
Yes, Please music CDs
$10.89
Sean Tillman's Return of the Unicorn EP is a collection of outtakes from the Dance 'Til Your Baby Is a Man long-player. Most of the songs are remarkably similar, cut from the same self-deprecating but outwardly directed cloth of mockery as is the par for Sean Na-Na's course; in fact, these songs seem to be rhythmically and melodically strung together as one thought. Throughout, Tillman's bizarre ...
| | John Mellencamp Human Wheels CD (1993) Bonus Track; Remastered
Yes, Please songs
$7.55
On his previous albums, John Mellencamp always infused his heartland rock with a hopefulness and party spirit that kept his paeans to the trials of the working man from becoming bleak. Not so here--if those discs were gritty rock & roll efforts, then HUMAN WHEELS is the artist's dark, confessional singer/songwriter record. Here swaggering, power-chord-driven bombast and anthemic choruses are often replaced by gently strummed mandolin, organ swells, and whispered, elegant verse. There are also hints of things to come--"Junior" and "French Shoes" are driven by dance rhythms that foreshadow the electronic beats of MR. HAPPY GO LUCKY. "What If I Came Knocking," on the other hand, is all thrashing Crazy Horse-style guitars and scary ...
