Part of the Jerry Peters reissue series launched by 〈Mr. Bongo〉, this is his best-known album, which has been popular since the dawn of the rare groove era. It is the 1973 debut album by Foster Sylvers, the youngest member of the family band The Sylvers. Featuring the monster break “Misdemeanor”—which spawned countless classics following Grandmaster Flash—and “More Love,” which Madlib also sampled, this album is a magnificent masterpiece from start to finish. I hope you’ll take the time to experience it for yourself and discover why Jerry Peters is so relevant right now—and the appeal of The Sylvers. (Original Japanese text by Saito)
