This is part of the dubious 'Platinum Series' of compilation albums (which also includes Echo and the Bunnymen and The Communards), and none is more dubious than this one. Featuring a motley collection of the old, the new, the bad, the unexpected, b-sides, covers and classics, it's not what you would label a 'platinum' collection.
However, there are plenty of brilliant songs here that are worth listening to. The latter-day early-90s Mondays is favoured a bit too much, but you get 'Step On,' '24 Hour Party People' and one of the many alternate versions of 'Wrote For Luck' here, as well as an excellent cover of Thin Lizzy's 'The Boys Are Back In Town' and the brilliant, string-augmented 'Judge Fudge.' Then there's the Beatles-aping 'Lazyitis...'
All in all, this wry re-imagining of what a Happy Mondays best-of should be like is a little wonky, misses a few obvious numbers, but is still worth buying; especially for a fiver.

I love the Mondays and I love this. A mega collection of songs that are less familiar and as dirty and funky as you could wish to hear. Double double good!
True rock 'n' roll spirit -You gotta love it!

Not too bad for what it is.

Happy Monday's, well they are ok, from that era of very late 80's early 90's stuff, in a nut shell, they have a few good songs and a bunch of mediocre ones, I bought this because it was a very good collection of what best they do have, better than wasting money on getting all of the original albums/cd's of them. So to me, listen carefully before you buy as if you don't really, really enjoy this style of music, then I would say don't buy it, if you do,, then buy it, but, to me, not worth more than $8.00 total and that is with S&H included.
