I keep getting Emails from people asking me to re-upload the links and music etc. I think people are just getting to those particular pages so are not reading the reason for the dead links.
So I am putting this in place so hopefully people will read it and stop Emailing me about it.
The reason the links are dead is that my account with Media Fire has been closed with all 11,000 files lost. That is why you can not download the things and No I can not re-upload them.
Eventually I will start doing that again when I have found something suitable. In the meantime this blog will be information only blog.
Thank you all

'Sister Fate' was the first single to be released from Sheila E.'s second album Romance 1600, released four weeks before the album.
The single contained an edit (removing an instrumental coda), an extended version, and an instrumental version of the track.
The 12" single included a previously-unreleased track, 'Save The People', which contained no input by Prince. The single was released in the US, Canada and Germany.
The single did not enter the US Billboard Pop Chart, but reached number 36 on the Billboard Black Chart.
Prince appeared in the Sister Fate video promoting the single, although his appearance was taken directly from the Raspberry Beret video, and did not contain any new footage.

'A Love Bizarre' is a song written by Prince and Sheila E.. The song is a duet between both singers and it appears on Sheila E.'s 1985 album Romance 1600.
The song was Sheila E.'s last major hit and her second biggest behind her debut single 'The Glamorous Life'. The song was performed in the film Krush Groove, in which Sheila E. also had a major supporting role.
The song was a major hit, in the US, and reached number 1 in Urban radio airplay & Dance/Club play, number 2 on the U.S. R&B charts and number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 & Pop radio airplay.
The German 12" single release is backed by the B-Side 'Save The People' that also served as the B-Side for her previous single 'Sister Fate'.
The club scene from Krush Groove in which Sheila E. and her band are performing the song was used for the majority of the music video with a few scenes from the film edited in. The music video uses the song's single edit.

Sheila Escovedo was born on December 12, 1957 in Oakland, California (USA). She is the daughter of percussionist Pete Escovedo. She became a drummer and percussionist herself and made her debut in 1976 with jazz bassist Alphonso Johnson on 'Yesterday's dream'.
Sheila met Prince in the early Eighties, when she was performing with her father. He enlisted her for his band and she played during the recording sessions for 'Purple rain' (1984).
Though taken under Prince's wing, she proved to be a successful artist in her own right.
'The Glamorous Life' is a song written by Prince in 1984 and first recorded by singer/percussionist Sheila E. The dance song has lyrics which reflect a cynicism for the decadence and materialism of the song's protagonist, referred to in the third person, who "wants to lead a glamorous life", although she is aware that "without love, it ain't much".
'The Glamorous Life' was originally intended to be recorded by the short-lived replacement act for Vanity 6, girl group Apollonia 6. Prince allegedly had several tracks lined up for the trio to record for their 1984 debut album (and by some accounts, their follow up album as well), but abandoned the idea when he learned that lead singer Apollonia Kotero had no desire to stay in the group beyond her contractual obligations as designed for her movie role in Purple Rain.
Prince decided to give the song to Sheila E. who was fresh off her duet on Prince's 'Erotic City'. 'The Glamorous Life' would be recorded by Sheila E. and go on to launch her solo career.
'The Glamorous Life' was the title track and closing song on Sheila E.'s debut solo album, and reached number 7 on the U.S. pop charts, as well as number 1 on the U.S. dance charts, and earned a Grammy Award nomination. In the UK the single made number 76 in the Singles Chart.
