GRAND 12" , Vol. 3-Updated: Vol.4 Released!

Quinny, I actually have the extended version 12 minute version of "R.R. Express" on a 14 track Rose Royce compilation called Wishing on a star. It was an early Warner Bros greatest hits CD distributed by Pickwick.

For those of us who were not so quick off the mark to get a hold of this compilation, or the excellent Dance Classics series (long deleted) which also had a long version of RR Express, Grand 12 inches, Vol.3 will do nicely.

Janis Ian, Herbie Hancock, Andre Cymone, Suzi Lane, Billy Ocean, Jerry Knight, Fern Kinney, Rah Band, Real Thing all sound good to me, especially in their long versions. Most of those haven't had broad distribution on other comps (if at all).

Brownie points from Ben Liebrand or SONY?

He's one of the very few '80s working DJs to put out any CD compilations. I trust his judgement far more than most others, especially the newer hip jocks. Liebrand is pretty down to earth really, has great first-hand knowledge including the re-mixing and production of BIG disco hits and therefore his output is commercially more astute. He doesn't live his life up his own ass!!!

I hope there's going to be UK release for these.

Quinny,like you, I have been searching for ages for 'RR Express' on CD (my 'Jump Street' Lp version is cream crackered! While sniffing through some CDs in HMV a few years ago, I found a Pickwick.....yes.....Pickwick collection of Rose Royce, and low & behold it was on it! All for £4.99!!!!
FAB!

What happened to Nytro's "Nytro Express". I think that was the original before it was covered by Rose Royce?

Did the first version flop or was it not the first version

[QUINNY]

My copy arrived safely today.....at last!!!

Still no release in the UK so far as I can tell (most odd?) and cheaper to buy from the far distant U.S.A. than Europe (20 dollars + post, against 20 Euros + post).

A very good addition to my collection of compilation CDs.
