about

Brilliant funk-soul from 1973. Written by Leon Sylvers III, produced by a heavyweight line-up comprising Jerry Butler, Keg Johnson and Michael Viner.

As with the majority of The Sylvers music from this period, the album has been heavily sampled. ‘Misdemeanour’ is a truly classic break and has been utilised by Madlib, Big Daddy Kane, Rodney P, The D.O.C, Pete Rock and many more. Danny Krivit edited the track in 2007, adding an acappella version on the front – still a big record with DJ’s.

The Sylvers were a family from Los Angeles who were very successful during the 70’s and into the early 80’s, with chart hits – deep into pop-disco territory by then! – including ‘Boogie Fever’, ‘Hot Line’ and ‘High School Dance’.

Official Mr Bongo reissue. Replica original artwork. Licensed from Pride Inc. 2006.

A quintessential 1970's album, not limited to just Soul music but for the whole decade! It really is that fantastic! You got wah-wah guitar, bongos, incredible drums, flute, handclaps, and synchronized vocals with infectious hooks! Of course, a normal re-issue wouldn't have been enough for Mr. Bongo, they went the extra step and added 4 more single-only tracks to this package. For £7.99 ($8.96) it is an absolute BLAST for the price of admission. I can't recommend it enough! -Blake-D-

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
