Ray Parker Jr. - Woman Out Of Control (1983) Expanded Remastered 2012 Music

Posted by Designol at Jan. 13, 2023

I Still Can't Get Over Loving You was the lead single from his 1983 Woman Out Of Control album and it reached number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1984. It was Parker's fifth Top 20 hit, the sixth being 1984's Ghostbusters. The song is an up-tempo ballad with electronic instruments. The lyrics are about lost love, with close similarities to The Police's Every Breath You Take, at one point even borrowing the lines ''Every breath you take, I'll be watching you.'' I Still Can't Get Over Loving You ranked number 77 on Billboard's Year-End Hot 100 singles of 1984. Includes original album remastered from the original master tape and 1 bonus track.

Ray Parker Jr. & Raydio - The Best Of Ray Parker Jr. & Raydio (1990) [1998, Reissue] Music

Posted by BlondStyle at Oct. 21, 2018

Another faulty compilation wrapped in unflattering packaging, The Best of Ray Parker, Jr. & Raydio includes 14 tracks, leading off with the mega-hit "Ghostbusters" (ugh, of course) and closing with the undervalued "For Those Who Like to Groove," from his third album with Raydio. In between is a patchwork selection of cuts from all of Parker's albums through 1985's Sex and the Single Man, though only one track appears off that album and the one before it, 1983's Woman Out of Control. That means that the disc includes a fair amount of material from his Raydio days (at least two songs from each of the four albums), which is definitely a good thing, but there's just not enough to make it a thoroughly representative best-of.

The soundtrack for the 1984 blockbuster comedy Ghostbusters, which starred Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Harold Ramis as a New York-based team of spook exterminators, follows the most common soundtrack formula for summer blockbuster hits: throw on a bunch of pop songs that were heard in the movie only for a few seconds, combine them with a couple of excerpts from the original score, and – voila! – you have a soundtrack album that makes for a very disjointed, schizophrenic listen, and does very little to conjure memories of the film.

Posted by HDV at June 7, 2022

Raydio (Ray Parker Jr) 1978 Self Titled album has been expanded for the first time ever. Although recorded in L.A., Raydio is full of Detroit musicians and has a very Detroit-minded sound. "Raydio" is essentially a funk/soul album, but with pop and rock elements and Parker certainly brings a poppy outlook to "Jack and Jill", the single that put Raydio on the map. This Funkytowngrooves remaster features 2 Bonus Tracks, including the rare 1982 version of the smash hit "Jack And Jill".
