Digitally remastered two-fer containing a pair of albums from the Soul vocalist: WELCOME TO MY ROOM (1978), produced by the renowned Soul partnership of Homer Banks and Carl Hampton, and MIDNIGHT DESIRE (1980), with Chuck Brooks replacing Hampton as Banks' co-producer. This pairing of albums is described on the noted Soulwalking website as "the high points of his career", and have long been sought in CD format by Soul collectors. Randy Brown provided an oasis of Soul serenity at the end of a veritable desert of Disco with his albums in the late 1970s, with Homer Banks' production adding Southern Soul intensity to the bedroom styling that had proved so successful for Barry White. Shout. 2009.
Thank you. I grew up listening to Randy. Loved his voice, style and music. My Randy Brown albuns dissappeared but thanks to you, I can listen to him "everyday". 5 stars because I did not have to wait long for delivery of my Randy. Again thank you, for and outstanding product, I thought I would never have in my posession again.cant have enough Randy Brown! still seeking "smoking room" by randy but,because the album is$$rare$$ and,i'm still searching! but as I digress in to superlative the aforementioned combo double barrel blast of Midnight Desire&Welcome to my room,great music for the archives! ty bI love this cd. It seems to make life slow down. I am happy with it.Ok for reference. Quality is not the best.Randy Brown is a R&B legend, but his albums are very hard to find. This project kills to birds with one stone Welcome To My Room/Midnight Desire 2 of his classics on one cd.Every movie and cd that I have purchased are all great.2 coveted soul albums on 1 cd......well not quite and a huge slip up on the part of 'Shout'. Whoever bought this reissue to rest there tired vinyl will eventually notice one of the sexiest ballads ever to be committed to wax has been edited by a good 2 minutes simply because there wasn't enough running time on 1 disc. The track The Next Best Thing To Being There runs at 4.45. The original runs at 7.14, a good 2 minutes longer. All 'Shout' had to do was simply supply a second disc, one for each album. A big let down and one to bear in mind before you part with your money. I'm also surprised the other reviewers who know these albums well from their vinyl days hadn't noticed this either. If you look at the running order on the back cover it's the only track that doesn't have a time check. I'm just glad I have the vinyl from back then. So if any reissue labels are reading this please, please, please reissue this quality soul album in full. It's still waiting for a genuine domestic reissue along with Randy Brown's Intimately, Randy and Check it Out.This guy is such an excellent singer I cant understand why he is not so well know. His voice is incredible. I rate him as good as Luther Vandross, and for me these two are the best Soul/R&B singers I've ever listened to.Was looking for this for ages to replace a lost vinyl copy of Welcome to my Room - for a long time all that seemed available were rare vinyl copies at ridiculous prices, so thrilled to find it finally released on CD. Classic old school soul with 'Too Little in Common' standout for me among many fine tracks.2 great albums.Great to see these titles available on CD, killer vocals killer tracks. I just hope that Randy's other release "Intimately" gets the same treatment and is available soon - just buy these albums and you'll be over the moon you did!!!!
