Our Take

Altered Images' "Happy Birthday" gets the deluxe treatment with this Half-Speed Master Edition, and boy does it shine brighter than a birthday candle on a slice of cake. Fronted by the ever-charming Clare Grogan, this Scottish post-punk band serves up a whimsical collection of tunes that are as infectious as they are quirky.

From the opening track "Real Toys", you're transported to a retro wonderland where synths reign supreme and Grogan's playful vocals dance around your eardrums like a sugar-fueled child at a birthday party. The title track "Happy Birthday" is a bouncy, synth-laden anthem that will have you throwing confetti in the air and doing the twist like it's 1981 all over again.

But don't be fooled by the sugary-sweet exterior, Altered Images have a darker side too. Tracks like "Disco Pop Stars" and "Legionnaire" delve into deeper, more introspective territory, showcasing the band's versatility and depth.

Overall, this Half-Speed Master Edition of "Happy Birthday" is a must-have for any music lover looking to inject some fun and whimsy into their collection. So go ahead, blow out the candles and make a wish - because Altered Images have delivered a gift that keeps on giving. Cheers to another year of musical magic!
