Record Record Label is set to release ’The Wonderful World of the Pursuit of Happiness' by The Pursuit of Happiness on vinyl for the first time on July 26.
All fourteen of the album's tracks were under four minutes, with no breaks between the songs. The album is a concise grouping of power pop influenced songs that capture elements of all of the group's releases and songwriter Moe Berg's earlier work with his first group Modern Minds.
Berg explained to writer Stephan Hubbard that, "the idea with this record was to format it so that a person could listen to the entire thing in one sitting, and since it's just over a half an hour it's definitely something people can get through without much effort."
The Wonderful World of the Pursuit of Happiness was the band's fifth and final album. Originally released on CD in 1996 through Iron Music Group, the album has been remastered by Noah Mintz at Lacquer Channel Mastering.
The band remain active with sporadic shows to this day. Berg remains busy as a member of The Trans-Canada Highwaymen with Craig Northey, Chris Murphy, and Steven Page, as well as with his production work.
Pre-Order copies will ship in advance of the release date.
