Singer, songwriter, humanitarian, activist, poet, philosopher, artist... as the music legend Labi Siffre prepares to release his first album of new music in 28 years, Demon are making his stellar catalogue available again as a series of vinyl reissues and 3CD collections. The third in it's series, '1975' brings together the two studio albums Labi recorded for new label Parlophone in 1975 - 'Remember My Song', and 'Happy' - plus a bonus disc of B - sides and rarities originally featured on the now -deleted 'My Song' box set from 2020. It comes in deluxe 7" -sized packaging with a reversable front sleeve. CD1's masterpiece 'Remember My Song' combined emotional honesty, reflective introspection and tight funk -soul grooves in a heady mix... at the time it was seen as something of a gritty departure from the singer -songwriter's trademark sweeter sound. Since then, it's come to be seen as a bona -fide mid -'70s classic, kicking off in fine style with the iconic 'I Got The...', known to millions as the key sample loop behind 1999's Eminem / Dr Dre single, 'My Name Is'. Conceived and written during an especially prolific period for Labi and recorded virtually back -to -back with 'Remember My Song', CD2's 'Happy' moved the dial once again, presenting a suite of soaring, and playful new compositions, ranging from the dancefloor - friendly to the intimate and romantic. Highlights included the boogie -infused 'Love - A - Love - A -Love - A -Love - A -Love' and one of Labi's all -time greatest ballads, 'Staride To Nowhere'. Finally, CD3 rounds off the set with a collection of non -album single A and B sides, including two cuts released from the short -lived 'Labi and Jackie' duo with session singer Jackie Sullivan.
