HappySad Records is the name of an independent record label founded in 1971 by Paul Levinson and Ed Fox, taken over by Levinson in 1972.
Its major release was rediscovered and described thirty years later, in July 2002, in Japan's Record Collectors Magazine as "human mystical pop music". HappySad Records has repeatedly been listed in Hans Pokora's series of books titled 2001 Record Collectors Dreams and subsequent editions, and reviewed in Fuzz Acid and Flowers, a Comprehensive Guide to American Garage, Psychedelic and Hippie Rock (1964–1975) by music historian Vernon Joynson. In 2008 a South Korean company, Big Pink/BeatBall, re-released the HappySad record as a CD, which was followed by a Japanese edition released by Vivid Records.
