Soft Cell - *Happiness Now Completed (1LP) (RSD25)

UK Quantity: 1000

Due to fan demand, Soft Cell are releasing the companion album to their 2021 Top 10 album *Happiness not included to record stores worldwide on Saturday April 12th 2025.

So fruitful also were the original *Happiness album recording sessions that this collection, titled *Happiness now completed, features ten original Marc Almond and Dave Ball tracks, including previously unreleased mixes and single-only tracks, none of which have appeared on vinyl before. It also includes a previously unheard track, Kill Shot, unavailable until this release.

The album also includes a recently re-recorded version of fan favourite Last Chance, with the addition of a full brass section, plus cover versions of Fad Gadget’s Back To Nature and X-Ray Spex’s The Day The World Turned Day Glo. Lead track First Hand Experience in Second Hand Love was originally recorded by Giorgio Moroder, a huge influence on Soft Cell.

This will be the very last *Happiness release, and is strictly limited to a single pressing of 1000 deluxe vinyl copies worldwide
