{"product_id":"sylk","title":"Sylk","description":"\u003cp\u003eRare Private Press Funk \/ Soul from 1983. Featuring James Brown collaborator Leroy Harper Jr. First vinyl reissue since 1983. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSylk was a short-lived soul and funk band from the Aiken, South Carolina – Augusta, Georgia border area (better known as the CSRA) who released just one album in 1983. Their self-titled (and only) album would become a much sought-after private pressed holy grail within the record collecting community. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSylk was a true example of a bright light burning out way too quickly, thankfully we are left with the unique (and very rare) document that is their self-titled album. Although it was recorded in 1983, it has a strong 1978-1979 vibe working for it. The entire album is filled with sexy (yet strong) vocals, space-like rhythmic keyboard vibrations, groovy bass lines and fat trombones that compels the listener into a dancing frenzy...one can hear the cosmic touches and influences of The J.B.’s, Bernie Worrell (amongst other P-Funk greats) and Herbie Hancock softly slipping in. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is hot and soulful Southern Funk...smooth as sylk! Tidal Waves Music now proudly presents the first ever vinyl reissue of this fantastic funk \/ soul album (originally released in 1983 on Earthquake Records). This rare record (original copies tend to go for large amounts on the secondary market) is now finally back available as a limited vinyl edition (500 copies) complete with the original artwork.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tidal Waves Music","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50482003444043,"sku":"1092595","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/8568ca51-bd22-48e5-a1f3-03fa327745ae_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727547886","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/sylk","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
