Rare 1970 Vocal Soul/ Funk Cuts Repressed On Ltd 7" - Originally released in 1970 and written, produced and arranged by the great Van McCoy, Washington D.C.’s Bobby Reed stepped up and delivered “The Time Is Right For Love” an incredible loved up stepper, and then “If I Don’t Love You”, a perfect compliment, another… loved up stepper.
This one isn’t a fresh find, or a new discovery - Just an essential, officially licensed reissue of an incredible slice of soul.
Celestial Echo represents two essential soul flights from 1970, written and arranged by 'The Hustle' titan Van McCoy. First up is DC singer Bobby Reed with 'The Time Is Right For Love', a wonderfully crafted stepper, followed by 'If I Don't Love You', a companion piece matching it in warmth and groove. First issued as a double-sided 7", these ones bottle Reed at his most expressive, with smooth vocals and McCoy's signature orchestral touches. This official reissue brings both sides back to distribution and play, preserving the original energy and romantic feel of the 1970 release. Far from a novelty find.
