The Cool-Notes released a reworking of their biggest hit "Spend The Night" (UK #11 in 1985) recently and hot on the heels of the success of that
release they have another reworking, this time of their second single
(as a soul group as previously they were a reggae/lovers rock band) and
first hit from 1984 "You're Never Too Young" which just missed out on the
top 40 (#42).
There are three mixes, George B Remix short (4:57) and extended (5:38)
and my preferred mix the Steve Mac Mellow Mix, named 'mellow' as it uses
the back beat from Lowrell's 1979 classic "Mellow Mellow Right On" (I
bet he's making some royalties from the use of that song!).
Steve Mac is original band member Steve McIntosh who still keeps the band
alive with another original member Heather Haywood (Austin/Austyn). The
group was founded in Brixton, London in the late 70s, they released
their first reggae single in 1977. They were originally a seven-piece band which included Steve's wife, Lorraine McIntosh
The tracks only seem to be available currently on their official website,

I've also included some rare footage of them performing the original in 1984 from their YT channel.
