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,
ranging from the boogie-infused ‘Love-A-Love-A-Love-A-Love-A-Love’
to the intimate and romantic ‘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.
