referencing Happy Nation, LP, MRLP 3206

Following the amazing success of the single "All That She Wants", Mega had to come up with an album in a hurry. That's why there are 2 versions each of "All That She Wants" and "Wheel Of Fortune", for example, along with a couple of half-finished tracks such as the ultra-short "Dimension Of Depth". Despite these shortcomings, "Happy Nation" did well on charts in Europe but also in South Africa (David Gresham Rec's) and Australia / New Zealand (Possum Rec's).

This is thus the very original version of an album that got re-titled "The Sign" for the US and the rest the Western Hemisphere via Clive Davis / Arista Rec's, and then re-re-titled "Happy Nation - US Version" back in Europe...
