Walking Back to Happiness is the third album by John Cooper Clarke, originally released on 10" clear vinyl in 1979, though is has long been out of print. All tracks were recorded live. The final track, Gimmix, was also recorded in studio and was a UK top 40 hit that year. The penultimate track refers to a 1969 album by Nico, with whom Clarke had a romance in the mid 80s.
