BackgroundThe 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 promoting the new compilation, mostly being an expanded remodelled version of Happiness, as the title itself suggested. Almost all of the songs from the Beloved second album (which dropped the initial article The from their name for this new release) featured on one of the three available editions, in one or more remixed versions, also including an alternative cut of "It's Alright Now" itself, and a couple of instrumental tunes, namely "Pablo (Special K Dub)," and "Paradise (My Darling, My Angel)," both non-album tracks up to then, though the latter already featured as the B Side to the Beloved's first UK Top 20 single and international big hit, "Hello," which caused massive media exposure for the CD single that contained it and its related tracks. 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", and also the one remaining song from Happiness that the label originally intended to release as a further single, before opting for a totally brand new track{{cn|date=February 2018}}. 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 releasing a dance-oriented item, resulting in an unsuccessful double A-side single, along with "Loving Feeling," back in 1988, though paving 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 definitively 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 (but the couple of remixers here featuring as Adam & Eve are thought to be Jon and Helena already working together under a psudonym, a means that soon they would often use to separate the image of the producing duo from that of the band members).
