*Happiness now digital : Limited Edition 102 Track WAV + Videos USB Stick & Lanyard + Deluxe 4 Art Print Set
To round off 2023, one of Soft Cell’s busiest years ever, we’re pleased to announce one further outing from the acclaimed *Happiness series. The first release, *Happiness not included, entered the UK album chart at Number 7 back in May 2022, followed by companion albums *Happiness now extended and *Happiness now completed, both landing in summer 2023.
The *Happiness series concludes on 19th January 2024 with the release of *Happiness now digital, via BMG. Featuring a staggering 102 tracks, the release is presented on an exclusive new style black and gold Soft Cell 16 GB USB stick with matching black lanyard with gold logo print, all presented in highest sound quality WAV format. All the tracks are additionally provided in high quality 192 kpbs MP3 format, for easy play in cars and other devices that do not easily support large WAV files.
*Happiness now digital brings together the whole *Happiness campaign for the first and last time, on one single bundle, including the *Happiness now extended, *Happiness now completed and *Happiness not included albums. The package additionally features remixes, bonus tracks, B sides, alternative versions, live recordings, demos, instrumentals – many previously unreleased, from formats that have sold out and are now deleted, or unavailable before digitally.
The USB stick also includes digital versions of the new cover artwork, single sleeves plus other selected curios from throughout the campaign, press shots, press releases and other previously unseen treasures. Total playing time is 8 hours 30 minutes!
Released due to many requests from completists as well as those who do not have physical format facilities, and/or prefer to enjoy higher quality audio on the WAV format, *Happiness now digital is a veritable treasure trove of Soft Cell’s most recent and very prolific era, with over 10GB total content! If you loved *Happiness not included, and want to enjoy the whole event together in one handy package, this one is really for you!
This release is limited to 250 copies, and includes a set of 4 custom 180x180mm inch gloss laminated artwork prints, featuring brand new artwork by James McWilliam.
Exclusive to the Soft Cell store.
