Oh Sheila - Ready for the world

Ready for the world was founded by Melvin Riley and Gordon Strozier in Flint, Michigan. They were joined by Gregory Potts, Willie Triplett, John Eaton and Gerald Valentine to form a pop/soul/dance band. Their best known hit is 'Oh Sheila', which sounds a lot like a Prince song and could be interpreted as an ode to Sheila E.

The double single which I bought in 1999 features not only the original version of this song but also an 'Extraterrestrial mix' made by John Morales.

My collection: 7" single no. 3071
Found: May 10, 1999
Cost: 1 pound
Tracks: 'Oh Sheila (Extraterrestrial mix)' / 'Slide over' // 'Oh Sheila (original mix)' / 'I'm the one who loves you'
