Madchester Rave On

Madchester Rave On is the second EP by the Happy Mondays. It was released in November 1989 on Factory Records. The EP was heavily influenced by the Acid House, Rave and club scenes at the time. Also the track Halleluhwah by Krautrock band Can. It became the band's breakthrough release, reaching the top twenty in the UK and leading to the band's first Top of the Pops appearance.^[1]

Shortly afterwards, the Happy Mondays released Madchester Rave On – The Remixes, a three-track EP of club DJ remixes. In the US, three of the EP tracks and two of the subsequent remixes were compiled into the seven-track EP Hallelujah.
