I particulary want to thanks the great artist  Michel Buret​ who designed  35 years ago the cover of the Synchro Eclectic Music Language : Lambi by Louis Xavier. We loved so much this Lambi artwork that we asked Michel to paint the cover of our new release ! Many thanks for this beautiful painting !

OG2013 REMASTERED

Premiere: Maalem Mahmoud Gania  - Mrahba Baba Hamouda

Available from https://www.mrbongo.com/products/the-sylvers-only-one-can-win-fools-paradise-vinyl-7

‘Only One Can Win’ – brilliantly flipped by J Dilla on his epic ‘Two Can Win’, that appears on his legendary ‘Donuts’ LP for Stones Throw. 

‘Fools Paradise’ is a midtempo soul/funk jam taken from the first ‘The Sylvers' LP. A favourite at Mr Bongo HQ that we felt needed to appear on a 7”. Beautiful, golden-era soul written by Leon Sylvers III, produced by Jerry Butler and Keg Johnson.

Available from https://www.mrbongo.com/products/jerry-butler-jerry-peters-jimmy-smith-melinda-latino-im-gonna-love-you-just-a-little-bit-more-babe-vinyl-7

‘Melinda Latino’ is taken from the awesome ‘Melinda’ OST written by Butler & Peters, released in 1972. This is a heavy track right from the first beat –harps and breakbeats, leading into a soul piano mood, huge strings and backing vox.

Jimmy Smiths version of Barry Whites ‘I'm Gonna Love You Just A Little Bit More Baby’. A very dope intro break leads into crazy vocal chops before heating the main melody, in true Jimmy Smith style. Taken from his ‘Black Smith’ LP forPride, released in 1974.
