This was a Granada educational program from 1989 about business, using Factory Records and the selling/promotion of the Happy Mondays album 'Bummed' as an example (!)
I somehow managed to see this when it was first broadcast in 1989. It was on during the day and I recorded it on video. I've always found it hilarious that they were using the (pre-fame) Happy Mondays as an example of how to get ahead in the music business!
HAPPY MONDAYS WERE AWESOME BACK IN THE LATE 80S EARLY 90S GREAT TO SEE THIS OLD FOOTAGE FROM 1988 NATHAN WAS A GOOD MANAGER SETTING UP A 2 MILLION POUND DEAL WITH EMI
mcgough was a good manager - if he managed to get a 2million pund deal with EMI set up whilst they were all on smack and crack, he must have the gift of the gab
"why's there been such a long gap since the last LP?"....."I don't know" ...haha. there'll never be another band as natural and as honest as the Mondays ever. You can't create that.

Priceless!
I was 17 when that album was released and it has been one of my favourite ever since. That brings up very fond memories.
