Notes:  Extremely scarce record. Private label North Minneapolis troupe recorded a blazing wild synthesizer and a funky number back in the era when disco was quickly waning. There is a "The Time" Prince / Morris Day influence in these tracks. The vocal harmony on "If You Love Me" reminds me of the vocal harmonies of Minnesota's band "Gypsy". This was the band's only release, disbanding sometime after this 45 was released. This 45 is highly sought after and is not easy to find even here in Minnesota. Wild synthesizer.

Artist:  The Stylle Band

Track (Grade):  If You Love Me / Money Hungry

Record Condition: "Money Hungry" is VG+ with very minor hairlines. "If You Love Me" is VG. It has some cross groove hairlines and that side has track wear, but to me, I cannot hear any ill effects of that wear (Someone loved to play this side more than the other and I can't blame them). Anyway, I guarantee this record and I will resolve any issues if the buyer is not fully satisfied.

Label:  Gold Star

Number:   No label number

Year of Release:  1983

Genre:  Modern Soul / Boogie / Funk / Disco

Sleeve:  The original picture sleeve comes with this 45.

Sleeve Condition The sleeve is not in great condition. I had to basically reconstitute it but it was worth salvaging. Both side seams were completely split and the bottom seam was near that condition also. I did this: Cut off 3/8 inch of a white business envelope's bottom edge, glued 3 of these prefolded strips into the sleeve's interior, one on the bottom and one on each side of the sleeve. See the photos. There is a 1 inch rip on the rear top and downward. It is taped on the inside and barely noticeable from the outside. The sleeve is dirty and creased but the cool thing is that it is signed by most everyone pictured in the sleeve photo although I could not figure out all of the signatures. Members names are listed on the sleeve rear. That is the whole story on the sleeve.
