Release notes

"Pursuit of Happiness is more thrills than dual piano with Condoleezza..."

Album cover

Amazon.com initially refused to stock the album because the "cover art goes beyond what (they are) willing to accept".[6] The album was subsequently made available from Amazon.com with a blank album cover.

Reissue

Following a request by Laura Burhenn to remove the ALP remixes of her tracks on the album; Pursuit of Happiness was reissued on 22 March 2010 without the tracks "Meltdown (Freedom Mix)" and "Just for the Night (Can't Hide My Love Mix)", but with the addition of the new track "Alone Till the Day I Die (Snow Mix)" and "family-friendly" cover art.[7][8]
