When is Sheila going to release her greatest hits CD/DVD? Her many fans would love to buy this. A best of is overdue, don't you think? I love the Belle of St Mark and The Glamorous Life, and she has made some great videos!

I've been wondering the same thing.It's a shame that there aren't any Greatest Hits CDs of the Time and Sheila E. Just for fun,let's compile a Sheila E. 'Best of' compilation.Here's mine...

Glamorous Grooves: The Best Of Sheila E.

The Glamorous Life (full-length album version)
The Belle Of St.Mark
Noon Rendezvous
Erotic City--Prince and The Revolution featuring Sheila E. (12" version)
Hollyrock
Sister Fate
A Love Bizarre (full-length album version)
Bedtime Story
Hold Me
Koo Koo
Sex Cymbal
Droppin' Like Flies
Cry Baby
Bonus track: Girl Power (outtake from 1988)

I basically included all of her singles from the four Warner Bros. albums,plus a few other important tracks.I don't know what the hell Warners is waiting for.

Prince's approval.

I think if we all start requesting it it will happen. We just have to keep on sending emails to her website and hopefully it will be taken into consideration. . Sheila is under Concord records label but hasn't done anything since 2001.. Maybe since she has her own production company it will be easier. i think she should rerecord the songs... Lets hope...

While we're requesting THAT ONE, put in a bid for a "proper" best of Morris Day & The Time as well!!!!!

This is probably the best one I've seen!

Gotta have Too Sexy on there!

Although I"d either replace Love Bizzarre album version with a Live version or at least add a live version as a bonus..... either from the Romance 1600 Live version or from one of her live concerts in recent years.

If you haven't heard LB live post the R1600 live video, you haven't really heard the song!

what do you think of the version that was released on Ringo Star's live cd? i hate it.

sosgemini said:

i don't have it. i heard a clip once. it wasn't great..... i should have qualified my comment by saying you haveh ot hear it with Sheila's band.... Ringo's guy's can't keep up with her!

Forget it folks, THIS is the one and only ultimate track listing

The Glamorous Life (full length version)
The Belle Of St Mark
Noon Rendezvous
Too Sexy
Sister Fate
Bedtime Story
A Love Bizarre (edit)
Save The People (full length version)
Holly Rock
Hold Me
Koo Koo
Love On A Blue Train
Sex Cymbal (Remixed version)
Droppin´ Like Flies
Lady Marmalade
Whatcha Gonna Do
Funky Attitude (Ford Fairlane Version)

I've left off the The World Is High, Paradise Garden, Bass Base b-sides (not that good and we NEED the FULL Save The People lol) and Cry Baby (why this was ever released as a single nobody knows!). Whatcha Gonna Do is an Escovedo Family classic and was performed in Ford Fairlane. And Krush Groovin´ is another song we don´t need on the cd lol.

I rest my case

Oh U were talking about the music ! I thought U were talking about the "best of Sheila" and she has quite a few nice parts .. I think is a great idea to have the compilation CD or a box set with the videos also.

Dont see this happening... As much as I love me some Sheila, she (or her people) never seemed that inspired to get choice material out to her fans... Her online store always seems barren and could be put to good use for her charity.

I think her website needs to undergo major changes to make it more effective for them and the fans.. Having a forum would be nice, she can use the site for so many things that would actually benefit her foundation, herself and the fans. Her manager Lynn should look into this and I told her recently but i don't think she'll consider my suggestions...I think Sheila is happy in the background rather than the front....
