I was looking at the credits on the I'm With Stupid DVD and was surprised to note that both the b-sides were produced by the boys alone.
Which other tracks were? I know Happiness Is An Option is...

Why don't you have a look at your record shelves? You might be surprised, since they have self-produced quite a lot of stuff including the whole of Very and Release (bar London) plus the majority of the b-sides.

I thought Stephen Hague produced Very.

He was pulled in after they'd done it to do "additional production". Neil and Chris felt that they should have an "adult" to look it at it.

Stephen Hague did a hell of a lot more than "take a look" at Very. It wouldn't have been anything like the album it turned out to be without his involvement.
I don't think Neil and Chris are actually very good at producing themselves. Sure, there are some great (mainly) b-sides produced by them, but I think they tend to get very up their own arses and self indulgent. They also simply CANNOT produce Neil's voice on their own. Neil always sounds at his absolute whiniest, out of tune and annoying on tracks they produce themselves.

According to Hauge himself, he just was in a couple of days to "take a look". Hence the co-producing credit, as offosed to the usual "and"-credit.
And people can slag of "Happiness is an option" as a song, but it's one of the best produced tracks on Nightlife, as far as I think.
