Description:

Celestial Echo returns with another essential archival release, bringing the long-awaited official reissue of Jan Jones – Independent Woman (Parts 1 & 2) to 7 Inch Vinyl. Regarded as one of the finest examples of modern soul, this sought-after 1980 recording has circulated for years amongst DJs and collectors through expensive original pressings and unofficial bootlegs. Now, for the very first time, the record receives a fully licensed reissue, faithfully restoring both sides of this timeless Disco, Funk and Soul classic.

Part 1 opens with everything that makes Independent Woman such a revered dancefloor favourite—warm Rhodes keys, uplifting strings, irresistible grooves and the effortlessly soulful vocals of Jan Jones. Flip the record over and Part 2 expands the arrangement into a longer, more stripped-back version, allowing the rhythm section to shine while giving DJs and dancers an extended groove that's become highly prized in collector circles. Produced by Cleveland studio talent John Brinson, the record perfectly captures the golden era of modern soul with its smooth instrumentation and timeless songwriting.

As one of the standout releases in the ever-impressive Celestial Echo catalogue, this official reissue has been respectfully remastered and pressed to the highest standard, preserving an elusive modern soul gem for a new generation of collectors. Whether you're digging for rare groove, building a soul vinyl collection or searching for essential disco 7 inch records, Independent Woman deserves a place in every crate.

Perfect for fans of modern soul vinyl, disco vinyl, funk records, rare groove, Celestial Echo releases and beautifully curated 7 Inch Vinyl reissues.
