Notes
Digitally remastered and expanded edition includes four bonus tracks. The Cool Notes from south London were a popular UK R&B act during the mid-‘80s and they had several hits of which the most famous of course is 'Spend The Night'. The Cool Notes initially embarked on their recording career in the lovers rock style, and featured Lorraine McIntosh and Heather Austin on lead vocals. The full line-up consisted of Joseph Charles, Peter Lee Gordon, Peter Rowlands, Steve McIntosh and Ian Dunstan. In 1978, the group recorded for Pat Rhoden's Jama group. By 1984 the band felt the need for a further transformation, which led to the formation of the Abstract Dance label and the release of "Never Too Young", aimed at the club scene, and which entered the lower regions of the pop chart. The release was met with enthusiasm in the clubs and the band followed the hit with the excusable "I Forgot", striving for a profile on the radio playlists. A discerning decision resulted in the group returning to the club sound for the release of "Spend The Night", which peaked at number 11 in the UK pop chart in spite of the indifference shown towards the band by radio stations. The Cool Notes continued popularity resulted in the 1985 release of the album Have A Good Forever. The Cool Notes continued to record until the early 90's and their original, crystal-clear music still sounds so fresh today.
