Sylvester – Sell My Soul

Bargain Banger

I actually left the store, then walked back an hour later to pick this up for $1. I knew about Sylvester’s music, his origins in San Francisco and his work with Patrick Cowley, but never listened to any of his albums. This was made in 1980, sounds years ahead of popular music and still sounds fresh. Sylvester takes every opportunity to move the music to an interesting place, and it works mostly because he’s got a great voice. This album displays a lot of range, and there are pleasant surprises throughout. What a find!

Value

Nice.
