{"product_id":"happiness-is-the-road-essence","title":"Happiness Is The Road - Essence","description":"\u003cp\u003eDouble vinyl reissue of 2008 double release. The first recorded songs for 'Happiness is the Road' are the classic-Marillion harder rock sound, which are contained on the second volume 'The Hard Shoulder'; but the first volume, 'Essence', features Marillion at their innovative prowess with a tortured, melancholic concept album written during the recording for 'The Hard Shoulder'. The result was an experimental album of two halves: an atmosphere-heavy 'Essence' focusses a spotlight on some impressive synth production and Steve Hogarth's masterfully emotive vocals, building up to the riff-heavy and more accessible 'The Hard Shoulder'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis edition of 'Happiness is the Road: Essence' is released as a double LP pressed on to 180g heavyweight audiophile vinyl and presented in a gatefold packaging. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Madfish","offers":[{"title":"LPx2","offer_id":50450087510347,"sku":"1018675","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/94a256b8-c71c-4aa6-b590-9e15b803e367_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727109193","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/happiness-is-the-road-essence","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
