DESCRIPTION
Three CDs. First-of-it's-kind box set includes Shirley's trio of albums plus ten bonus tracks. Shirley Murdock's work and success with famed funk group Zapp and Roger Troutman in 1984 provided a springboard for her solo career which began in earnest in 1986. Featuring the self-titled US certified gold LP Shirley Murdock!, which included the US Top 20 and R&B Top Five hit, 'As We Lay' which established Shirley as a mainstream recording artist and performer; 1988's A Woman's Point Of View, featuring the US RnB chart- making single 'Husband'; and the 1991 set Let There Be Love! Which, like Shirley's previous solo albums, included a number of Shirley's own compositions and was also produced by Roger Troutman. With stellar artwork from Roger Williams and excellent mastering by Donald Cleveland, As We Lay includes a total of ten bonus tracks: Disc 1 reprises six cuts from the expanded edition of Shirley Murdock!, released by SoulMusic Records in 2018; Disc 2 includes three edits and mixes not previously available on CD; while Disc 3 also has Shirley's version of The Clark Sisters' classic, 'You Brought The Sunshine', first released in 1990 on the 40th Elektra anniversary compilation, Rubaiyat, which has been out of print for a number of years.
