Labi Siffre - My Song (9 CD, 2020/FLAC)


 My Song is a 50th anniversary Labi Siffre nine-CD box set which features all of his albums and a generous selection of bonus tracks. 500 copies come with a ph0to personally SIGNED by Labi Siffre!

Siffre is probably best known for penning ‘It Must Be Love’ (covered by Madness in 1981) and for his powerful anti-apartheid anthem ‘(Something Inside) So Strong’, which peaked at number four in the UK singles chart in 1987.

The box features the following nine albums: Labi Siffre (1970) The Singer and The Song (1971) Crying Laughing Loving Lying (1972) For The Children (1973) Remember My Song (1975) Happy (1975) So Strong (1988) Man of Reason (1991) and The Last Songs (1998). They all come packaged in vinyl replica card wallets, and are accompanied by a 32-page booklet in which Labi speaks candidly about his career. 

In total, there are 146 recordings in this collection with 44 bonus tracks. Labi’s last album, The Last Songs has been remastered in 2020 especially for this set and contains two newly recorded bonus tracks.
