    EAC | FLAC | Image (Cue&Log) ~ 616 Mb | Mp3 (CBR320) ~ 213 Mb | Scans ~ 79 Mb
    Funk, Soul, Disco, R&B | Label: Edsel | # EDSD-2102 | Time: 01:32:17

    Digitally remastered two CD set containing a pair of albums by the R&B/Soul act. This package brings together two classic albums by Rose Royce, released by Whitfield Records in 1978 and 1979, including the vocal talents of the great Gwen Dickey. Strikes Again features the huge global hit single 'Love Don't Live Here Anymore' (subsequently covered by Madonna and Jimmy Nail), which reached # 2 in the UK.

    Rose Royce III: Strikes Again! (1978):

    Rose Royce's third album contains two killer ballads: "I'm in Love (And I Love the Feeling)," and the much recorded "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" which Gwen Dickey works like Mary J. Blige wishes she could. Norman Whitfield's productions often included doses of classical elements and this album is no exception, the sampling and borrowing occur frequently. "Angel in Disguise," another sweet ballad, sounds a bit contrived. As effective on upbeat tunes "That's What's Wrong with Me," "Do It, Do It," and "First Come, First Serve," are first-class movers and shakers. A carnival barker on the intro mars the opening cut "Get Up Off Your Fat."

    Review by Andrew Hamilton, Allmusic.com

    Rose Royce IV: Rainbow Connection (1979):

    Rose Royce's fourth album, Rose Royce IV: The Rainbow Connection marked the end of an era for the Los Angeles-based soul/funk band. Produced by Norman Whitfield, this 1979 effort was the last Rose Royce album to feature Gwen "Rose" Dickey, whose lead vocals had graced such hits as "Carwash," "Love Don't Live Here Anymore," "Ooh Boy," and "Wishing on a Star." The charming singer was among Rose Royce's major assets and fans were sorry to see her go. Rose Royce's Gwen Dickey era ended on a high note with this LP, which finds her excelling on the lush disco hit "Is It Love You're After," as well as the ballad "I Wonder Where You Are Tonight" and sweaty funk jams like "What You Waitin' for" (a Whitfield composition that had been previously recorded by Stargard) and the humorous "Bad Mother Funker." Arguably, "Is It Love You're After" is the most disco-minded tune that the Angelinos ever recorded – while Rose Royce had a lot of grit and was a soul/funk outfit first and foremost, the lush and glossy "Is It Love You're After" is about as disco as it gets. As impressive as Dickey's contributions to The Rainbow Connection are, she doesn't sing lead on all of the songs – Kenny Copeland also deserves applause for the lead vocals that he provides on this generally excellent album.
