Kings of the Mid-Eighties House Party!!.......2007-03-06
If you were a rich kid in the mid-eighties, you wore Lacoste "alligator" shirts and listened to Prince. If you were a scrappy underdog from "the wrong side of the tracks" (like me), you wore a polo shirt from K-Mart (with a little slug on the front pocket) and listened to Ready For the World. I was their biggest fan -- and yes -- I was the only white guy in my junior high with a Jheri Curl. Some kids called it a "scary curl" -- but I didn't care. I wanted to be like Ready for the World, whose anthems and ballads touched the peeps so deeply. Y'all ready to feel it? To get freaky-nasty? Let's break it down:
1. Ceramic Girl (Extended Mix) -- A variation of the climactic big hits (below); Oh Sheila and Digital Display. When people get tired of those two, play Ceramic Girl.
2. Slide Over -- A slow jam that will win people over to love. You can feel the sincerity.
3. Oh Sheila -- Widely considered a plea to get Prince protege Sheila E into the Ready camp. Prince had Sheila E, Sheena Easton, Vanity, and Appolonia in his stable about that time. Ready for the World had a woman who once met Lisa Bonet at a Chuck E. Cheese party. Ready's courtship of Sheila E in order to get some "sex cred" (and some sex) was a gallant effort. I respect that. GREAT song.
4. Mary Goes 'Round (Single Version) -- Prince *wishes* he had thought up the title's single entendre.
5. Gently -- A *very* classy way to describe that sublime moment when you hear, "Go to second! Go to second!"
6. Digital Display (Radio Edit) -- The singer repeats "36, 24, 36, " and wants to "play with" a woman's "digital display." When you're in junior high, you wish all women would be busty robots! And this song nails that precious emotion.
7. Tonight -- If you you played this slow jam while you drove a babe to Safeway for a pink champale run, by the time you got back to the party she'd be all yours.
8. Long Time Coming (Single Version) -- The lyrics hint at innuendo. Actually, the lyrics just come out and say it - straight up!
9. Deep Inside Your Love -- I've studied this song like the Zapruder film, and I'm still not sure what it's about. Sounds good though.
10. My Girly (Single Version) -- Sounds a lot like Keith Sweat's "I Want Her" ("I wanna do it like this, do it like that"). But Ready for the World puts a clever twist on the song, so it has more of a "I wanna do it like THAT, do it like THIS" sound. Nice.
11. Straight Down To Business (Single Remix Version) -- A sly metaphor for doin' the do, sung in a way that makes Bobby Brown seem like Bryant Gumbel.
12. Can He Do It (Like This, Can He Do It Like That) (Extended Mix) -- Can anyone *really* do it like Ready for the World? I think not.
13. Whose Is It? (Chocolate Mix) -- Creamy, rich, tast-a, oooo yeeeah.
14. Love You Down -- May be responsible for the most slow dance hook-ups in the history of song. Also responsible for the most ruined blouses because of Jheri Curl juice smudges. (Especially on those 80's style blouses with shoulder pads!)
Let's face it: If a guy on a New York City street corner sold you a cd of Prince for pennies on the dollar, and it turned out to be Ready for the World, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. (Ready for the World are *not* the Sunshine Hydrox cookie to Prince's fancy Oreo, as the rich kids at my junior high used to say!) In fact, the next time Prince has a greatest hits album, at least three of the above songs should be on it. Seriously, I'd pay $15 just for "Oh Sheila" and "Digital Display," and their other songs are some of the best of an era... or anytime.
ready for the world.......2006-08-05
the cd case was cracked and had some scratches on the cd itself but it played fine
Now This Is A Compilation!.......2006-07-14
Universal's "MILLENNIUM COLLECTION" series are usually skimpy on the song selection and the time length. However, this Ready For The World compilation is a glowing exception. Clocking in at over 73 minutes, this 14-song set contains all the hits in either lengthy 12" versions ("Ceramic Girl"), full-length album versions ("Love You Down") or well-mixed radio edits ("Can He Love You Like This").
READY FOR THE WORLD's music is Prince-lite with the truly unique vocals of Melvin Riley, who represented whiny soulful singers four years before Keith Sweat stepped up to the plate. The band may have bitten off of someone else's style, but at least this talented act was able to add their own stamp to it.
Excellent Collection of RFTW Hits.......2005-06-29
This is a must have CD for anyone who enjoyed Ready for the World's 80s hits. As someone who owned RFTWs tapes (yes...back in the day when you bought either LPs or tapes!), I was very happy to come across this greatest hits collection. It really does have all the RFTW songs that you could possibly want.
I love Ready for the World!! But there will always be haters.......2005-01-04
I have always been a fan of Ready for the World from the start. Every song was a hit for me. My favorite was "love you down, Whose is it, tonight and so many more." I just hate to hear haters like the review before me of Mike Patterson. There are several artist that may sound like someone else or have similar lyrics.....but in the music business it comes down to who gets the break and who doesn't. Well, I have never heard of Mike Patterson and probably never will. Ready for the World had their fame and they could be back you never know. JUST QUIT HATING.........Lay back and enjoy the music - cause you know its good.

"Yo That's A Lot Of Body".......2005-08-04
Friends & neighbours will always remember that loud little boy on the street, who would play one song all day @ the loudest volume possible... "Yo That's A Lot Of Body"
To this day, I reckon that that track has one of the best bass lines ever... you've got to hear it to believe it.
Peace!

Customer Reviews:
A classic album-and don't buy into the Prince rip-off hype.......2003-06-14
The 80's sound was very energetic, and even Prince himself was heavily influenced by the persons like Morris Day (who was in turn very much influenced by Prince). The standard for measuring Ready For The World is whether they made good music that is entertaining and enjoyable to listen to-not whether or not Prince was a heavy influence on the group. These gentlemen-from Sterling Height, MI, made great music.
A Long Time Coming, which features the smash hit "Let Me Love You Down" is a huge fallup success to the groups firs album. All the songs are good, but especially: "Here I Am", "Baby Let Me Love", and one of my favorites "In My Room" and of course "Mary Goes Round". Buy this, and enjoy it, I'm sure you will!
This is an Old School Classic!.......2003-02-05
I remember listning to this album over and over again when I was young. To this day I still can't get these awesome songs out of my head! A must get album for you Old School folks or anyone that enjoys great music!
Always a classic.......2000-11-16
Bought this when I was a young teen kid, was in love with it for years though everything else I listened to was Rock. Back then, this and their first album were THE albums to romance your woman with as a soundtrack.. Yeah, we all know "oh shiela".. but the slow songs on this album are guaranteed to get ya in the *mood*
Years passed, tapes lost somewhere, went back to my Rock..
Just recently bought these RFTW classics again for memories sake.. I'm tellin you, these slow songs are still amazing.
It's a must have.. this is comin from a Van Halen fan even. =P
Ready for the world is the bomb.......2000-10-01
I love the song love you down i listen to it almost everday i would recommend this to anyone who likes old school songs. If anyone has the lyrics to love me down would you e-mail me at carreisha@yahoo.com
Can You Ride PRINCE anymore?.......2000-04-09
Can You Ride PRINCE ANYMORE? these songs SOund Like Prince Outtakes and for the most par forgettable.Long Time Coming was my cut back in 86 but it hasn't aged well.Love You Down helped Influence Keith Sweat's style.but they were All On Prince on this Disc.this is More of a Prince Tribute Album than a Ready For The World Album?

Memories.....Slide step & dancing real close!!!.......2007-03-22
To me, this is one of the best albums i owned back in the day. as always with me i was looking for the good dance songs to play( being a DJ ) and i didn't really focus on the slow jams. i was djing a party and a girl came up and requested a slow song and i really didn't have a lot ...i looked at my Ready For the world album and just picked one...that was "slide over"...Wow!!! the floor was full of couples. i then took a good look and found out that the whole album was filled with great "baby making love songs". A Virgin type love letter in "tonight"..."you're more woman than i ever seen, girl tonight"...that was the cut back in the day!...Everybody has had an out of town lover and this song helped us thru the long phone calls and gave us a dedication to our Ladies.they were the kings of the slow jam but they really brought it with JAMS that will never die like "Oh Shiela" and the "Digital Display"..."i never had a girl before...with much of a figure"....The group followed up with a few more albums and Melvin Riley ( the groups lead singer ) tried a solo project but they never captured the same magic as this first album although the second album is very good. this album is a prime example of the 80's music we were listening to back in Santa Paula,Ca. slow jams and doing the slide step from the video oh shiela...those are my memories from this album...thanks guys.... JC Cota [...]IF U DON'T OWN THIS ALBUM...WHAT ARE U WAITING FOR ...!
Great blast from the past.......2005-11-27
I always caught myself rocking out when "Oh Sheila" happened to come on the radio, and I had to go out and find this album. Reminds me of Prince and Morris Day/The Time. Very funky and very retro. It's a blast.
never had a girl before...........2004-10-23
this cd is a classic, reminds me of my high school dayz......
Digital display....digital display....with much of a figure...lalalala
ceramic girl, out of town lover..they all are great songs
CLASSIC READY FOR THE WORLD!!!!1.......2004-09-05
I LIKE THIS ALBUM. AND I LIKED READY FOR THE WORLD BACK IN THE DAY. IF YOU LIKE READY FOR THE WORLD THEN I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS CD FOR ANY FAN. MY FAVORITE SONGS ON HERE ARE: DIGITAL DISPLAY,TONIGHT,OH SHEILA, AND OUT OF TOWN LOVER. IF YOU LIKE R&B THEN YOU WOULD DEFINTELY ENJOY THIS DISC.
Great debut album an update of the Minnepolis Sound.......2004-06-03
I love this debut album from Ready for the World,(you can see I am a fan of Nu Wave Music) It is their take on the Minnepolis Nu Wave r&b Sound and there ain't(pardon my ebonics) a weak song on this album and time has been kind to it. Great guitar solos very good musicianship for teenagers (in 1985 ). The songwriting is average at best and could have been better, but this band's real downfall is that as they tried to catch every black musical trendy wave afterwards (new jack swing etc) If they stuck to their minnepolis -based Nu Wave R & B sound they could have been stars like Rush AC/DC bands who mined thier own genre-based sound for years while trying new stuff. But RFTW never did forge an identity and faded away after 4 albums. But their take on the Minnepolis Sound is not only solid it is one of the great debuts of the past 20 years get this album now!!!!

Music that speaks to my heart ..........2007-05-18
I only recently discovered Deanta and the incomparable voice of Mary Dillon, and I am saddened to learn that the group disbanded in 1997. Music of all kinds has always played a huge role in my life, and celtic music is especially dear to me. All of Deanta's music is precious and beautiful and Mary Dillon is an incredible talent. I simply cannot get enough of her amazing voice. When she sings Benedy Glen ... well, it simply transports you to another time, another place. As another reviewer stated, I, too, often listen to this CD with my eyes closed. It brings to mind all that is right with the world, simply because of the beauty in the music. Bravo, and thank you for allowing us to share in the beauty that is Mary Dillon's voice.
A gift of celtic music heritage.......2005-07-28
Deanta's Ready for the Storm is an excellent recording. Their music is a gift of the music heritage only found in Ireland. Of its 13 songs, 5 are instrumental and the rest has lirics. The sounds made by their instruments and the voice of Mary Dillon just bring an excellent blend that shows the core of the spirit of celtic music. If you enjoy celtic music you will most certain like this one.
Mary full of Grace..........2004-09-12
Mary Dillon won the All Ireland Voice Championship, and she is definitely my most favorite Celtic singer (and I do happen to have a substantial library of recordings of the genre). By the way, I was classically trained and am a conservatory vocal performance graduate. That besides, anyone with a heart would be deeply touched by the beauty in Mary's voice. Of all the Celtic recordings I have the Deanta CD's are among my very favorites. All of their CD's are fenomonal. But how in the world is it possible that when I enter a search for Mary Dillon on the internet, only her sister Cara comes up (who, with all respect, sings in a genre that does not interest me). It has been too long that we haven't heard any new recordings with Mary's voice. I mean, it may be that she is busy raising children (and I know how all consuming that can be), but it is my sincere and deep wish that some day we can be expecting solo albums of Mary Dillon.
Mary Dillon has a surpassingly beautiful voice.......2004-04-17
This from 'Jaunta' has got to be one of the best CDs. I got this originally for McDonald's, Culloden's Harvest, a stirring song about the ill-fated second attempt on England by the Scots (Wallace was centuries before). But the song that is particularly moving is the last cut on the CD, the traditional - The Benedy Glen. You have to hear this to believe it. Even if you don't understand the words, you're moved to tears. It's that beautiful.
I can't understand what happened to the group. They are barely mentioned on the web, and certainly not the breakup. Some individual band members literally come up with empty searches on google. It's amazing. It's like they never existed, except if you want to buy the three CDs. Maybe 'celtic music' types just don't post stuff to the web or newsgroups. I couldn't even find the homepage for the 'all-ireland singing' championship which apparently Cara, her sister, also won.
Delightful.......2002-01-21
If it were possible to wear out a track on a CD,
"The Lakes Pontchartrain" would be unplayable
on my copy of this, regretably, final recording
by Deanta. Deanta's work is perhaps
not up to the standard of Capercaillie, but that's
quibbling.

I live in NYC and have seen Lure live several times. Their music is very well produced (Dan Yashiv, the leader, is a recording engineer, recorded DJ Spooky) and Kristen's full-ranged vocal is suberb. It's trip hop with a very human face. Kristen lyrics are hounting, and her singing style is hypnotizing. The songs are simply beautiful. The best this genre has to offer. The best New York scene has to offer.

According to Jamie Foxx, she said she want some Ready For The World `cause they will definitely set the party off right. That was the case in 1985 when they took the world by storm with my theme song "Oh Sheila" and it is still the case with their new cd, She Said She Wants Some.
The funky band that put Flint, Michigan on the map is back and more ready than ever. With Willie Triplett on Percussions, Gregory Potts on Keyboards, Gordon Strozier on Guitar, Gerald Valentine on Drums, John Eaton on the Bass and Melvin Riley as the lead vocalists, this CD is reminiscent of some yester-year baby making tracks. RFTW took the sensual road and delivered a mature project which displayed their writing and producing talents. After hearing songs like "Sticky Love" and "Up & Down", I wanted nothing more than to holler at these guys and find out exactly what's up with them, these days.
Bump what you heard about RFTW slipping on Jeri curl juice and falling off the map. That's the biggest lie told since the crazy man on Market Street in San Francisco tried to sell me the Golden Gate Bridge. That is a big misconception about them. They have been consistently writing, producing, performing and venturing into other interests independently since their last top R&B album and the curls have been gone since the fade stepped in and replaced it. Now days, you might find any one of the guys rocking braids, a short cut or a sexy bald head, staying true to their trend setting appeal.
After their bout with MCA, the band was slept on. With the incarnation of the boy bands, bubble gum acts and new millennium manufactured artist, the guys were never offered a major deal or an opportunity to write and produce for other acts until Jay King of Thump Records stepped to them. "It took a couple of months for us to decide" they explained. "Being seasoned artists, we had to make sure that everything was cool. After careful consideration, we realized that this would be a great opportunity for us to get back in the forefront".
I asked the guys what is different about RFTW now compared to what we knew about them as a group back in the day. "We are the same guys playing music" they replied. "We're humorous, grown and serious about what we are doing. Aside from this project, we're touring" they clarified. "We are basically doing spot dates but we're trying to get a major road tour in the works possibly with Tony Toni Toné, New Edition and Keith Sweat".
Now days the term "old school" basically describes anything that happened yesterday so I wondered if the guys considered themselves to be old school. "Hell No!" They ascertained. "Contrary to popular belief, we have been recording and performing continuously and our music is ageless. We have been and always will be ahead of our time in terms of our talent and sound."
Well I must admit that it was a pleasure to talk to these guys and the group along with the label is very excited about this project. No matter what song they play, I will always think of this band as a full package of musicians and singers who hit the ground running and have never stopped. Of course "Oh Sheila" will always be my favorite song by them and quite honestly, I think that an "Oh Sheila, part 2" wouldn't be a bad idea (especially with me staring as the video girl ).
Regardless of how I chose to remember them, they shared with me that they want their audience members to know that they are musicians "whose music is long lasting". They make "forever-type" hits so quit equating them with those damn Jeri Curls and just hear the music!

inoj's debut was outstanding!.......2001-02-17
as you all might be wondering, i obtained miss Joni's cd from the internet becauise the production and release of her cd was pushed back like 2 years. and its been sitting on the shelves for so long, well come to find out..someone stole it and bootlegged it onto the internet. which is where i get all my music anyhow.. i havent boughten a cd for like 2 years thanks to this domain.. well if you dont believe me about having her cd, many other musicians will tell you the same. That their own works have been placed on the internet b4 hand of their release sometimes by their record labels to create publicity on their signees. pace!
