Happy Mondays put out "24 Hour Party People" in 1987, and they had John Cale in the producer's chair, with Dave Young engineering. It's the whole gang on tape: Shaun Ryder takes the lead vocal, Paul Ryder plays bass, Mark Day guitar, Paul Davis keyboards and Gary Whelan drums, while Mark Berry gets a credit for percussion. The songwriting credit is split five ways, with everyone but Berry on it, which makes it a band-wide effort rather than one writer's vision.
