THE BELOVED Happiness (2020 UK/EU limited edition 10-track double album 2-LP pressed on 180-gram heavyweight vinyl, the debut studio album originally released in 1990 featuring the classic tracks Hello, Your Love Takes Me Higher, Time After Time, The Sun Rising, and more. Remastered from the original analogue master tape by John Davis at Metropolis Studios, producing a significantly louder and clearer audio than the original release. Picture sleeve replicating the original cover artwork, with new sleeve notes written by the band. Hype sticker & factory sealed. Recommended)
TRACKLISTING AND EXTRA INFORMATION
Happiness was recorded from late 1988 to summer 1989, influenced by the band's immersion in the nascent UK Acid House scene. Originally a four-piece guitar / synth band, The Beloved MK1 parted ways late 1987 and founder members Jon Marsh and Steve Waddington were newly liberated by their electronic, machine-driven rhythm section. The perfect synchronicity of the Balearic stylings of the underground clubs and exposure to early Chicago House corresponded with a burst in song writing and sonic adventure. The result: Happiness!
Recorded mostly with producer Martyn Phillips (who subsequently worked with Erasure, Jesus Jones, and Londonbeat) the band created a hybrid of British electronic pop music, US club beats, euphoric mood and consistently optimistic and uplifting lyrics.
‘Happiness’ was certified Gold (100k sales) in the UK and made numerous Best of 1990 Top 10s across the UK music press, while they graced the covers of NME, Melody Maker, Record Mirror and were featured in The Face, i-D and broadsheet newspapers. They were nominated for multiple awards including Best British Video for ‘Hello’ at the 1991 Brit Awards. Four singles were released: ‘The Sun Rising’, which gave The Beloved their first Top 40 hit in October 1989; ‘Hello’, released January 1990, which peaked at No.19 and led to the band’s first appearance on Top Of The Pops; ‘Your Love Takes Me Higher’, which became their third Top 40 hit in 1990; and final single ‘Time After Time’.,
