Leaves much to be desired.

"I've been a huge fan of the Sylvers since their 70's hey-day. The material here isn't bad. Not by any stretch. But this is the FOURTH Sylvers compilation to be released in the last ten years or so and they all seem to have the same tired songs on them. Perhaps it has something to do with licensing, but there are significant Sylvers tunes that have been left off these hits packages.Just last night I dug out 1978's "Forever Yours" album and put it on the turntable. The title track and "Swept For You Baby" (written by Smokey Robinson) should be included on any true greatest hits package. (I remember the songs getting some airplay in Chicago that year!)With the exception of "Don't Stop, Get Off," this most excellent Sylvers album is generally overlooked with each compilation CD. I don't mind "The Roulette Wheel of Love" and "Ain't No Doubt About It," but come on! Let's delve a little deeper into this family's catalog and give us fans something more!"
Big fan of the Sylvers which for a Box-Set

"I've always dug the Sylvers&wished the Record Company would drop a Full Box Set on them.a Very Talented Musical Family.Leon Sylvers went on to Become one of the Baddest Producers in the Biz.I like the Cuts here but hope one day for more than the Usual fare that is released from them."
