“Disco Heat: The Fantasy Years 1977-1981,” a new Sylvester anthology released last week by Real Gone Music, offers a glimpse of his music from the Fantasy Records years, the period when he recorded the disco hits that made him a star.

“I’m upset about it,” Real Gone Co-president Gordon Anderson says of the conflict.

Earlier this month, Russell had the family’s attorney, Steven R. Lowy, ask Real Gone and 43 North for proof of ownership.

The current revival of the label started with Real Gone’s Anderson.

Russell hopes he can help Real Gone in the future as it continues its reissue campaign.
