Sylvia’s debut gem comes to us via Roy Ayers‘ Uno Melodic label which he set up in the early eighties to showcase new talent that fitted his jazz-funk & boogie sensibilities. This LP showcases a real boogie/rare-groove masterclass from Sylvia Striplin. There are many classic tracks here with “Give Me Your Love” and “You Can’t Turn Me Around” being the best known. Sylvia’s voice is not unlike a young Minnie Ripperton at times although perhaps not quite as polished. As expected from a Roy Ayers funded label there is a high emphasis on tight playing from the band. Rare-groove gold that certainly deserves a wider audience.

We do know she was first heard singing background on Art Webb’s 1977 album ‘Mr. Flute’. Not long after she was recruited to sing for Aquarian Dream’s second album ‘Fantasy’ (1978). Though Aquarian Dream were associated with Norman Connor’s who was enjoying success in the R&B charts at the time, their highest charting position was with ‘Fantasy’ which peaked on the Jazz Charts (#49).  Sylvia continued to stay with the group through there early 80’s break-up.

Shortly after her debut performance she became associated with Roy Ayers and his Uno Melodic label. Sylvia was recruited to sing was recruited to sing on Roy’s solo album ‘Love Fantasy’ (1980) as well as was a member of the short-lived group the Eighties Ladies, a quintet of female vocalists guided by Roy. Though their debut album ‘Ladies Of The 80’s’, was the most widely distributed project from the Uno Melodic catalogue, it did not sell well. Despite this several songs, notably “Turned On To You” & “I Knew That Love” became moderate club hits.

During this time Sylvia cut one solo single with Uno Melodic (“Give Me Your Love”/”You Can’t Turn Me Away”). Roughly one year later her sole album for the label, ‘Give Me Your Love’ was released. The single “Give Me Your Love” enjoyed renewed interest and went as high as #23 on the Club Play Charts. Fuelled by a boogie beat with Sylvia’s slinky vocals sailing smooth above a bubbling bass, it is a perfect pop dance moment climaxing with her smooth, girlish yowls peppering the extended outro.
The flip side “You Can’t Turn Me Away” has become infamous as the sample for Junior M.A.F.I.A.’s hit “Get Money”. The song’s clavinet propelled groove has deservedly become a certified classic in the Jazzy Soul & Rare Groove music scenes worldwide

I would rate the sleeve, which comes with its original shrink wrap as in VERY GOOD CONDITION. The vinyl itself is excellent condition and judging by the nice and glossy condition of the vinyl has had none or very limited plays. PEN MARKS on label but not overbearing (see photograph of label).

Once again, a re-iteration that this is a 100% ORIGINAL and not a re-issue.
