Released on Then Recordings through Republic Of Music, 'A Head Full of Ideas' sums up their remarkable progress from 1990 Manchester scene hopefuls to one of the UK's most enduring and best-loved bands.
The band have notched up 13 Top 40 studio albums - three of them number ones - alongside 22 hit singles, four of them top 10. The rollercoaster highs have been accompanied by some shattering lows, any which one of them could have felled a less resilient band, from nervous breakdowns to near bankruptcy and the deaths of two founding members.
