Hurts Celebrate 15th Anniversary of Happiness with Purple Disco Machine Remix – Wonderful Life ’25

Hurts‘ seminal debut album Happiness celebrates its fifteenth anniversary this year, with the set boasting hits such as Better Than Love, Wonderful Life and Devotion (ft. HRH Kylie Minogue) truly standing the test of time. Vinyl fans will be aware of how hard the LP has been to get hold off since the LP’s release, but now Theo Hutchcraft and Adam Anderson release a special two vinyl picture disc edition of the set.

As well as the re-release of Happiness, Theo will be taking to the road to perform the album in full – with a previous UK date at the O2 Academy Brixton and several German dates planned – not to mention a host of Summer festival shows. The celebrations do not stop there, however, with a special Purple Disco Machine remix of Wonderful Life dubbed Wonderful Life ’25 arriving this week.

The rerelease also comes accompanied with tracks Affair, Mother Nature and Happiness from the Deluxe Edition. Not to mention being completed by the anti-festive anthem All I Want for Christmas Is New Year’s Day and a Wonderful Life remix courtesy of Arthur Baker.
