Description:

Celestial Echo returns with a proper UK soul classic — The Cool-Notes' 'I Forgot How To Love You', back on 12 inch vinyl and cut loud for the dancefloor. Hailing from South London, The Cool-Notes were one of the UK's most consistent soul outfits through the late 70s and 80s, and this early recording shows the band in a formative yet improbably assured state — warm basslines, a tight rhythm section, rich harmonies and that unmistakable Britfunk feel at its most quietly opulent. Crucially, this marks the first ever reissue of the record — a long overdue return to circulation for a track that has quietly done the rounds for years. Buy or cry.

'I Forgot How To Love You' moves with a languorous mid-tempo pulse, the bassline circling patiently as soft electric piano voicings glow beneath the vocal harmonies, gathering in sumptuous folds and rising into a chorus of quietly radiant melancholy. It is the kind of record that rewards repeated listening — every element perfectly weighted, every arrangement choice made with deep musical intelligence. On the flip, 'Why Can't We Be Friends' leans further into rhythmic momentum, drums tightening their grip while guitar and keys thread through the groove with supple precision — the whole performance carrying the polished sheen of late-70s Britfunk craft at its very finest.

A favourite of Frederika's back in the day and now presented on 12 inch vinyl with a new picture sleeve, this edition gives one of British soul's quietly great records the new lease of life it so richly deserves. Celestial Echo is here to put proper soul records back into circulation — and this is one of their finest releases to date.

Perfect for DJs and collectors into Britfunk vinyl, UK soul records, disco 12 inch vinyl, funk and classic late-70s and 80s British soul and groove music.
