  Something Special Sylvers     Description: Sealed 1976 Flip-Top Cover Original. Clean Cut Out Hole. Custom "Hot Line" Hype Sticker On Shrink. "Something Special, Released In Late 1976 And Featuring An Interesting Fold-over Sleeve, Proved To Be The Sylvers' Best-Selling Album, Reaching Number 13 R&B And Remaining In The Charts For Nearly Half A Year, Despite The Fact That The Band Had Already Scored The Previous Year With Their Best-Known Song, "Boogie Fever." Still, This Is A Strong Set, Dominated By The Smoothly Arranged, Wholesome R&b Songs That This Large Family Band Was Known For. Two Songs Peeled Off The LP And Onto The Singles Charts: "Hot Line" Is An Innocent, Dirty-Sweet Crush Of A Song Wrapped In Strings With Motown Overtones, While "High School Dance" Keeps The Traditional Sylvers Sound But Pulls A Few Funky Tricks Out Of Its Bag As Well, Including A Full-Horn Arrangement. But They're Not Done Yet, As They Move On To The Well-intentioned (But Weak) "Disco Showdown." Elsewhere, The Storm Is Tempered By A Handful Of Ballads As The Boys Take On "That's What Love Is Made Of" And The Girls Reciprocate With The Very Fine "Got To Have You (For My Very Own)."
