Description:
Celestial Echo continues its outstanding run of sought-after reissues with Glenda McLeod – No Stranger To Love, a coveted slice of modern soul that has become a favourite among collectors, DJs and dancefloor devotees alike. Officially licensed and remastered for the first time in over four decades, this long-awaited reissue arrives on stunning transparent red 7 inch vinyl.
A true crossover classic, 'No Stranger To Love' occupies the rare space between the worlds of Northern Soul and Modern Soul, earning cult status across both scenes. Original copies have become increasingly difficult to find, regularly changing hands for well over £100 on the collectors' market, making this reissue a welcome opportunity to secure a genuine soul music gem.
Driven by crisp drum programming, rich basslines and shimmering synthesiser arrangements, the track perfectly captures the sophisticated sound of late-80s soul and funk. Glenda McLeod's effortlessly smooth vocal performance glides across the production with warmth and elegance, while the infectious groove continues to resonate with dancers and selectors decades after its original release.
The track's reputation has only grown in recent years thanks to support from Dam-Funk and the wider Stones Throw community, whose championing of the record introduced it to a new generation of listeners. On the flip, the instrumental version strips everything back to reveal the impeccable musicianship and tightly crafted arrangement that make the original so enduring.
Beautifully remastered and pressed on eye-catching transparent red vinyl, this is another essential release from a label rapidly establishing itself as one of the leading names in modern soul and rare groove reissues.
Perfect for collectors of modern soul vinyl, Northern Soul records, rare groove, boogie funk and sought-after 1980s soul classics.
