PHYLLISS BAILEY - PHYLLISS

Originally released in 1978 on Americom Records, and now officially reissued for the first time with love by Celestial Echo Records. Some records just have that magic, a vibe that pulls you in from the first note and doesn't let go. Phylliss Bailey's 1978 cult classic 'Phylliss' is one of those records-a hidden gem of modern soul and disco that's been doing the rounds for decades in underground scenes, on dancefloors, and among collectors who know. It's been whispered about in the right circles, bootlegged and then bootlegged again-but never given a proper reissue... Until now. Celestial Echo Records proudly presents the first official reissue of 'Phylliss', a record that's as essential today as it was back then. Originally released on the independent Americom label, the LP flew under the radar in it's day but has since become a secret weapon for DJs with a taste for the modern soul & disco sound. Phylliss Bailey's voice is pure class-gliding over lush arrangements, tight rhythm sections, and dreamy strings with ease. Whether she's riding the groove on dancefloor bombs like 'Focus' and 'Release Me' or slowing it down on the smoldering 'Feeling Of Love,' Bailey brings emotional weight and undeniable swagger to every track. Fully remastered and officially licensed, it brings 'Phylliss' into the light where it belongs. With a reimagined sleeve and labels (to distinguish from some shady copies going around!). This record is looking and sounding better than ever. Celestial Echo Records is a label devoted to the soulful and the timeless. Based in London and run by miche & Stu Clark, the imprint has been steadily carving out a reputation among collectors and DJs for high-quality, lovingly curated reissues of rare modern soul, boogie, and disco. With each release, they shine a light on overlooked gems that still resonate deeply in today's clubs and dancefloors. 'Phylliss' is the next jewel in their growing catalog of essential rediscoveries.
