Happy (New LP)

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.
