Sylvester is of course the influential disco legend behind many of the genre's best moments. Now he arrives on the cultured Dark Entries with Private Recordings: August 1970, which is a pulling together of plenty of vintage jazz, blues, and gospel sounds a world away from his chart-topping collaboration 'You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)' with producer Patrick Cowley. They show he had a love of the sounds of the 30s and 40s and were recorded with Peter Mintun, a pianist and record collector he met who was at the time living in a commune devoted to retro culture. The nine tunes feature what would become Sylvester's unique falsetto and they are all as captivating as his later and more well-known works.
