Product Details
A British singer-songwriter who built his reputation through intimate, piano-led folk-soul in the early 1970s, Labi Siffre had grown considerably bolder by the time "Happy" arrived in 1975. The album finds him stretching toward funk and orchestral pop without losing the emotional directness that made him a cult favorite, a tension that still sounds genuinely alive fifty years on.
In 2026, it feels as if singer/songwriter/musician/humanitarian Labi Siffre is hotter than ever, with scores of recent high-profile film and TV soundtrack features and ad syncs ('Hacks', 'The Holdovers', 'Sentimental Value', etc.) to his name. Marking a half-century since his mid-'70s artistic purple patch, Demon are delighted to offer the first vinyl re-release of Siffre's 1975 collection 'Happy'. Recorded during a prolific period for Labi and recorded virtually back-to back with '75's 'Remember My Song' (as sampled by Dr. Dre for Eminem's 'My Name Is.'), 'Happy' presented a suite of soaring adventurous songs that ranged from the dancefloor-friendly to the intimate and romantic. Highlights ranged from the boogie-infused 'Love-A-Love-A-Love-A-Love-A Love' to the beautiful ballad 'Staride to Nowhere'. Pressed in a very limited run for National Album Day 2026, this new coloured vinyl 'Sunshine Yellow' edition comes packaged in a new sleeve with lyric sheet and featuring Labi's original choice of cover photo.
