Unearthed from the band’s own archive and signed by the band, The Cool-Notes – The Unreleased Demos captures the group at the height of their Brit-soul creativity in the early 1980s. These previously unreleased demo sessions showcase the smooth soul, boogie grooves, and polished songwriting that made The Cool-Notes one of the standout UK soul groups of the era.

This Record Store Day 2026 release remasters and reissues this once super-limited collection, which has been highly sought after by collectors, with previous copies selling for hundreds on the second-hand market.
