Siffre released two albums in 1975, "Remember My Song" and "Happy." Unfortunately though, neither of them contained hits, so they didn't sell very well. It seems he got frustrated at this lack of success and didn't put out another album until 1988. However, one of the songs on "Remember My Song" was called "I Got The..." It was just an obscure album track until 1999, when it was sampled by Eminem and became the musical basis of his big hit "My Name Is." It's too bad that one wasn't performed in this concert.
Generally speaking, Siffre played songs from his two 1975 albums, avoiding his earlier hits. So it's a nice complement to the earlier albums in this series, due to very little overlap. Too bad it's pretty short, though.
The music here is unreleased. The sound quality is excellent.
This album is 28 minutes long.

Dear Paul, thank you so much for all of these 4 albums! I am a huge friend of his music, and as I have a BBC TS Record of a concert in 76 (Wavendon) and as there is a "Labi Siffre Sings - Live on Air 70-72" CD with some of the "unavailabe" songs out as well, I always knew there had to be more music of him out there somewhere, and now, after years, I finally found it!! So these posts are really a big treasure, thank you a lot again!!
ReplyDeleteIf you want to send me the stuff you have that I don't, I definitely would appreciate it. I don't have that 1976 thing you mention, and the 70 to 72 might have some things too. My email is thompson22 @ runbox.com (remove the spaces)
