"Hello" was the second single from Happiness, the Beloved's 1990 debut album, a Jon Marsh song produced by Martyn Phillips that climbed to No. 19 in Britain that February and stood as the band's biggest hit until "Sweet Harmony" went top ten in 1993.
It was made for an era that wanted every track in several shapes. The 12-inch carried the "Boys & Girls" and "Uncle Arthur" mixes, the cassette and seven-inch had "Hello (Dolly)", and the CD single ran to five remixes, two of which, "What's All This Then?" and "Honky Tonk", came back around on Blissed Out, the remix companion to Happiness. A Razormaid! remix turned up on the Razormaid! Anniversary 9.0 compilation, too.
