Ray Parker Jr. - Two Places At The Same Time (bonus Tracks Edition) - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

On the second InchRay Parker, Jr. And RaydioInch album, and Ray's fourth overall, 1981's InchA Woman Needs LoveInch pretty much picks up where 1980's InchTwo Places At The Same TimeInch left off. The recording blends Ray's penchant for catchy melodic grooves, anthems for respect, carnal desires from women, and butt shaking dance grooves. Three singles were culled from what would be the last InchRay Parker, Jr. And RaydioInch album. First single, and one of the band's highest charting Pop entry, was the album's title track which hit No. 1 on Billboard's Hot R&B Singles chart. The song also hit No. 4 on Billboard's Hot 100 Pop Singles chart, and No. 11 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart. Includes original album remastered from the original master tape and 3 bonus tracks. Limited edition of 2,000.

The Other Woman was Ray's first Solo and was deemed a great success with the title track from the 1982 album released as a single in March 1982, it peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100, number two on the Hot Black Singles chart, number 24 on the dance chart, and number thirty-three on the Adult Contemporary chart. Overseas, it spent one week at number one on the Australian charts. Includes original album remastered from the original master tape and 3 bonus tracks. Limited edition of 2,000.

Digitally remastered and expanded edition including three bonus tracks. In The Dark was produced by Stanley Clarke in 1984. With Grover Washington and Tom Browne as the main horn players the album is about the perfect mix of slick mid-'80s boogie funk and the kind of jazz-funk Roy pioneered a decade earlier on the title song,InchSexy, Sexy, SexyInch and the late in the day disco-funk of InchCompadreInch. InchI Can't Help ItInch is a mild vibe led ballad. But the most potent track is InchGoree IslandInch, a sizzling electronic afro-funk number celebrating the rooted futurism of the jazz-funk genre itself. It's got the African polyrhythms down pat but also this '80s electro/boogie funk production too. On the more obvious deep '80s funk of InchPoo Poo La LaInch Roy himself raps a bit about his desire for a lover who'll truly understand a musicians lifestyle and not take it personally.
