Walking Back to Happiness is the third album by John Cooper Clarke, originally released on 10" clear vinyl in 1979, though it has long been out of print. All tracks were recorded live. The final track, "Gimmix", was re-recorded in studio and became a UK top 40 hit that year. The penultimate track refers to The Marble Index a 1969 album by Nico, with whom Clarke had a romance in the mid-1980s.
