Blissed Out (The Beloved album)

The success of their previous long playing work pushed the group to first follow it up with a brand-new song, called "It's Alright Now," which failed to make the UK Top 40, stopping at Number 46, but helped promote the new compilation, mostly being an expanded remodelled version of Happiness, as the title itself suggested. Almost all of the songs from the Happiness album featured on one of the three available editions, in one or more remixed versions, also including a remix of "It's Alright Now" itself, alongside a couple of tracks which were previously non-album tracks, namely "Acid Love" and "Paradise (My Darling, My Angel)" which were B-sides to the singles "Loving Feeling" and "Your Love Takes Me Higher" respectively.

The remix album was also promoted by a related remix EP, featuring a medley of selected remixes from the album, and particularly by a promo of "Up, Up and Away", the one remaining song from Happiness that the label originally intended to release as a further single, before opting for a re-release of "Your Love Takes Me Higher". The album was released in three different editions, varying as for length and track listing, depending upon the related format: the vinyl LP, the shortest of the three, includes 8 tracks; the CD version features 11 tracks; and the MC edition, the richest, contains 16 tracks, its final song being "Acid Love", which represented the band's first try at a house track and thus paved the way for "The Sun Rising", which soon became a club favourite, and a little later their first UK hit. The latter included a sample taken from the Hyperion Records recording of "O Euchari" as sung by Emily Van Evera, which was only credited here for the first time, and only on the cassette version, but not on any of the original formats then marketed for the Happiness album, which contained the single version of "The Sun Rising." This step marked a very important achievement for future credits of samples, which became mandatory from then on.

"It's Alright Now" and the 1990 remix album were the last works made by Jon with original band member Steve Waddington at the time. By 1991, Waddington left the group, together with the definite article in the band's name, and was replaced by Jon's wife, Helena Marsh, for Beloved's next album, Conscience.
