Paul\u2019s brother, Happy Monday\u2019s vocalist Shaun Ryder comments: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This special release of Tart Tart showcases the unique musical talent of our brother Paul Ryder who passed from this world … we will all miss you Horse…he brought\u00a0the funk and the rock n roll to Happy Mondays \u2026 love you long time R kid\u201d\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

All profits from the release will be donated to Music Cares<\/a>, a charity chosen by Paul\u2019s daughter Amelia, who comments: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Music Cares is a charity that helps people in the music industry who are struggling with addiction issues. 14 years ago, Paul was given help and support from the organization who helped fund extended\u00a0outpatient care and therapy that enabled him to have 14 subsequent happy and productive years. Just two weeks ago he mentioned them in an interview and often expressed his gratitude and desire to pay\u00a0their support forward so others could be helped too.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
