I vote for Slyvers II. 'We Can Make It If We Try' and 'Cry of a Dreamer' gives me the chills.

I was at a wedding in the summer and I couldn't stop singin' We can make it.
Don't you know? Fotser Slyvers is one of their members!
Ahh got jokes! I'll edit my spelling fuck up.
Not nearly as good as II or I, but its the hardest to find of the three.
Pride/MGM, I believe.
I just sold the last of three selaed ones I had. But it sucks IMO.
Sylvers II gets my vote for "Love Me Love Me Not".
Yeah, "I" sorta falls off after the heat of the first two tracks, but it's still worth is for those alone. Jazzanova sample is dope, too. My recording software bugged out on me last week, so I can't upoad right now, unfortunately.
Its been a while since I've listened to I so I didn't wanna weigh in, but that was what I recall... the first one is about the hits, whereas the 2nd has jawdropping moments throughout...
My fave "Whats it all about" + "Don't give up the good life"
Saying that i also like "We can make it" + "I don't need to prove myself" from II, They were all big tunes back in the mid/late 80's + "Misdemeanor"
II is ridiculous and I is dope
advanced question:
any Sylvers heat outside of 1,2,3 and foster sylvers??? i'm talking about any of those disco looking records. any good cuts? i truly dont know
I think there's a couple decent slowjams but since I can't even remember if I wanted to keep them or not I hesitate to recommend... I'm always flipping to the last cut on each side of the 4-on-the-floor albums for the sweet R&B prize inside
Amazing, amazing album.
On top of "We Can Make It..." and "Cry of a Dreamer" I really dig "I Don't Need to Prove Myself".
peace, stein. . .
Is that a sealed OG???
Yep. $40 for a sealed copy which is a-ok with me.
I've seen both the Foster (S/T) and II by The Sylvers much cheaper here in Killwaukee, at our highest priced store. Interesting......

No, not sealed, but I got my Foster (S/T) jawn for $20. I saw II for cheaper, like maybe 12 bucks. And trust me, dude sells stuff that's usually VG+ or better.
