The Happy Prince is a studio album by the New Zealand rock band The La De Das, released in June 1969. It was the third album from the group and is often cited as the first Australian and New Zealand concept album.

In early 1967, while preparing for their second album, bassist Trevor Wilson anticipated an era when rock music would be taken seriously as an art form. He came up with a project that he felt would put the group far in front of their contemporaries, and put them on the map internationally. His idea was to create what would later be called "rock opera". For the basis of the piece he chose to adapt Oscar Wilde's classic tale "The Happy Prince". Unfortunately, keyboardist Bruce Howard was his only ally in the band, but together they started to piece the work together, although it would take several years to come to fruition. It was also the seed of later divisions within the band.

Later in mid-1967, The La De Das would see the Australian rock group The Twilights at Berties nightclub in Melbourne. Fresh from their recent trip to England, decked out in the latest Carnaby Street gear, The Twilights were currently wowing local audiences with their famous note-perfect live renditions of the entire Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album. Seeing them gave Howard and Wilson's plan to realise the Happy Prince project added impetus, although they knew it was something they probably wouldn't be able to achieve in Australia.

Over 1967 and 1968 the Las De Das would build a reputation for their live shows. Their look and sound become more psychedelic, augmenting their stage setup with exotic and varied instrumentation like organ, electric piano, saxophone, sitar, flute, mandolin, cello and even bagpipes. They were crowned "Sydney's Gods of Psychedelia" and where filling out venues around the city.

After over 12 months in Australia, the La De Das were a hit on the live circuit, but they still hadn't released any records, steadfastly refusing to record anything other than their cherished Happy Prince project. The chance finally came their way in late 1968. Jimmy Stewart, expatriate English producer behind Melbourne band Pastoral Symphony's one-off hit "Love Machine", had recently set up a new independent label, Sweet Peach.

Stewart approached The La De Das with an offer to record and release The Happy Prince. The delighted band began intensive rehearsals in preparation for recording at Armstrong Studios in Melbourne. But as the year wore on, Sweet Peach repeatedly arranged sessions and then postponed them, and by November the deal had collapsed. This was a major disappointment for the band, who had worked for several months to arrange and rehearse the piece, and the failure of the deal was a massive letdown for Trevor Wilson…
