Subject: Sylvester/"Mutual Attraction" LP
I have been searching --- to no avail --- for this LP on CD. Sylvester's, "Mutual Attraction" LP was a Warner release, I believe, and contained the club fave ( a fave, at least, in my neck of the woods ), "Someone Like You" ( perhaps best remembered in 12" format, with the Haring jacket ). The album was released in late '86. Was a CD ever released of this album, and is "Someone" on any known '80's compilation disc ? Any info/responses may be posted here.

"Someone Like You" was also a big top 20 hit on the r&b charts here in the U.S. (in 7" form) in late '86/early '87, although unlike some of Sylvester's earliest hits from the late '70s, it failed to cross over to the pop charts. Yes, the song was off his "Mutual Attraction" album. Yes, the album was indeed released in late '86. And yes, it was on the Warner Bros. label (Warner Bros. 25527, to be exact). Unfortunately, at the time, it was only issued on vinyl LP & cassette here in the U.S. (i.e., no CD), and it's never been re-issued on CD in this country. So if "Mutual Attraction" is out there in the digital format, it would only be as an import, but I'd be surprised if it exists...

I, too, am here in the US. I do have the 12" and the LP...never saw the album on cassette ( I mustn't have looked hard enough ! ). I wanted a more permanent medium than the vinyl...ah, well.
Well done, fellow 80smusicfreak !
