{"product_id":"beloved-happiness-lp","title":"Beloved - Happiness [LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eDouble 180gm vinyl LP pressing. 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 songwriting and sonic adventure. The result: Happiness! Recorded mostly with producer Martyn Phillips (who subsequently worked with Erasure, Jesus Jones, \u0026amp; Londonbeat) the band created a hybrid of British electronic pop music, US club beats, euphoric mood and consistently optimistic and uplifting lyrics. 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 #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'.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 885012039954\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e New State Ent\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.11.20\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"New State Ent","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41164532711496,"sku":"885012039954","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/6737\/0568\/files\/3843155-3525973.jpg?v=1781925777","url":"https:\/\/vinylfrontierrecords.com\/products\/beloved-happiness-lp","provider":"The Vinyl Frontier","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
