Description
THE BELOVED Happiness VINYL LP Rare Original UK 1990 Chillout Primal Scream style. The artwork to this is considered a high point in late 20th century design. The same Bob Linney that did all the artwork for this also made the arts council CMN tour posters from the mid 80s on, which change hands for hundreds when found. In his blog he writes: "
In the summer and autumn of 1989, I worked on several designs for Jon Marsh’s band “The Beloved”. Jon had seen the billboard I’d painted for Coin Street Community Builders, which was visible from Waterloo Bridge, with it’s headline ‘There Is Another Way’. When we first met, Jon told me he was a 'technohippy' and talked about the cosmos and the natural environment. He wrote songs about love, bliss, happiness and celebration. My job was to make images for The Beloved’s records, so I had fun drawing couples making love, sperm fertilising planets and gurus sitting in the lotus position. Among the designs were covers for the singles ‘The Sun Rising’, ‘Hello’, ‘Sweet Harmony’, ‘Rock To The Rhythm Of Love’, ‘Outerspace Girl’ and ‘Celebrate Your Life’, as well as album covers for ‘Happiness’, ‘Conscience’ and ‘Blissed Out’."
