defining an era.......2007-02-05

if i could take one album that could without a doubt hold the energy and excitment of the disco era it is Sylvesters masterpiece work here.this album not only encapsulates the heart and talent of this late artist but what the era was all about. six stars!!!!!!!This album is iconic.

Sylvester's Tour De Force Album.......2005-08-20

This album was orginally released as All I Need, and the title track is a fun post-Disco romp. Do You Wanna Funk is no doubt the song that most would consider the biggest hit off this release, but this track was released months before this album and was already a hit on it's own.

Don't Stop is the standout track here and it is to me one of his greatest Disco tracks ever. This song takes the best of late 70's Disco and reworked it for the 80's, without loosing anything in the translation.

Hard Up is VERY notable for the video made to support it was the first video by a black male artist to be featured on MTV
(sorry Michael Jackson, and just deal with it). Be With You is another great track and the line about being with someone in heaven proved to be an erie foreshawdoing.

Most of what is currently offered of this awesome talent is various greatest hit packages, so it is great to see this studio album being offered on CD.

Sylvester's Best L.P. of the 80's!.......2001-08-11

This cd which is released on the Canadian label Unidisc was originally released (on L.P.) on the Megatone label in 1982. Electronic synthesizer master Patrick Cowley (who died in the early 80's) was an innovator in this hi-nrg electronic sound (as was Giorgio Moroder in the 70's) and both Sylvester and Cowley make the perfect combination. Sylvester with his gospel high searing vocals and Cowley's melodic synthesizers. This cd includes all the hits (Do you wanna Funk, Don't Stop and Be with You) plus the remix versions, some of which were only available as import 12" records from Europe. The sound quality is nothing less than superb. If you enjoyed hi-nrg music from the 80's such as Miquel Brown, Hazel Dean, The Flirtations, Bobby O, Lime, etc. then you'll love this disc. Highly Recommended!

Sylvester - All I need 1982.......2000-02-27

It was Originally released late 1982 under the name "All I need " by the San Francisco dance label "Megatone" which was owned by legendary (revolutionary) Synth dance producer Patrick Cowley. Songs where written and produced by James Tip Wirrick who also performed everything. The song "Do you Wanna Funk" which is written and produced by Cowley was added to the album becuase it had become a hit. In general, in this album you get an energetic yet elegant synth Hi-Nrg backround ...all very well arranged with moog solos...and over it you get an extremely emotional and heart pouring melody song by sylvester in falsetto ..plus a near gospel chant backing vocals apear featering big voices like Martha Wash/ Daryl Coley/ Jeanie Tracie. I think its Sylvester's best album and one of 80's best albums to be ignored by the mass media.

True 80s disco funk! A must for anyone into CLASSIC retro.......1999-10-13

What a great disc. Funky drag-queen Sylvester "funks" with you on almost a dozen tracks, including the smooth "All I Want" and the classic disco anthem "Do Ya Wanna Funk". Add it to your collection!

tight club Jam.......2006-01-30

Sylvester always had some tight Club Jams. I bought His Greatest Hits some years ago&thought that he had some good vocals. this song was always a party favorite. first time I heard it was in Eddie Murphy's "Trading Places' Movie when Eddie had moved to the Burbs&threw a House party.

CD Single Remix.......2005-08-16

This single contained excellent remixes of the classis Sylvester song. The remixes remained faithfull in intent to the original, with the Italo remix being the most innovative of the group.

High NRG!.......2005-08-03

This was one of the first dance hits I heard when I first started clubbing years ago. It stuck to my head and I didn't even know who sang it until a few years ago. I got it out of nostalgia, but it has proven to be a great find. Some of my friends have listened to it and cannot get over the fact that it's from about twenty years ago. Sylvester's passion and great style transcends time, I guess.
