Description
• Lavish 6CD box set showcasing the entire Elektra Records catalogue of 80s electrofunk/R&B titans Starpoint.• Featuring 84 tracks, this first-of-its-kind box set spans all six of the group!s Elektra-released albums, including a massive 34 bonus tracks including rare edits, extended versions and more - many appearing for the first time on CD.• Includes ten US top 40 R&B hits, including the crossover smash "Object Of My Desire! - a streaming sensation after being showcased in hit Netflix series Stranger Things 4.This six-disc set beautifully showcases the stellar funk and soul recordings of underrated 80s R&B stalwarts Starpoint - a group who thrillingly navigated their way through an ever-changing R&B landscape of the decade from post-disco electro-funk to searing power ballads and hip- hop-driven New Jack Swing.Built around the nucleus of the four Maryland-based Phillips brothers - Ernesto, George, Orlando and Greg - the group became Starpoint in 1980 with the addition of gifted Nigerian bassist Kayode Adeyemo and dynamic lead vocalist Renée Diggs, who!s five-octave range is a wonder of Whitney-like proportions.They hit big with the electro-funk dancefloor juggernaut "Don!t Be So Serious' in 1983, which lead to the band signing to Elektra. Their most-lucrative period followed, including the massive crossover success of 1985 album "Restless' co-produced by Billy Ocean hitmaker Keith Diamond - featuring the hits "Object Of My Desire! and "What You Been Missin'.Other key hits that followed include the feisty pop-funk top 10 R&B hit "He Wants My Body' co- produced by Preston Glass (Aretha/Whitney) and slamming top 10 dance smash "I Want You - You Want Me' produced by New Jack Swing superstar Teddy Riley (Bobby Brown/Michael Jackson).Compiled and produced for SoulMusic Records by Adam Mattera, the set includes extensive career-spanning liner notes by UK music journalist Charles Waring plus top notch artwork from Roger Williams and excellent mastering by Donald Cleveland.
