Don’t Be Happy… Just Worry
Don't Be Happy... Just Worry is the second EP from the British rock band the Wildhearts, released on 23 November 1992 through EastWest. It pairs remixed versions of all four tracks from their first EP, Mondo Akimbo a-Go-Go, with four new songs recorded at Rockfield Studios in Wales alongside producer Robert Musso.
It matters as a stepping stone in the band's early story. This was the first Wildhearts release to chart, reaching number 91 on the UK Albums Chart, and it arrived just ahead of their debut album, Earth vs. The Wildhearts, in 1993. If you want to hear the band reworking their opening statement and stretching out with fresh material in the same breath, this is a neat place to catch them.
