    Arrow Grace Jones : new compilation CD !

    If anyone is interested.. Universal are releasing a new Grace Jones compilation CD (Its out in the UK on 29th may) - Its called THE GRACE JONES STORY and it looks superb ! It contains the disco tracks she recorded in the 70`s right through to the tracks she recorded in the late 80s.
    Its a pity we are not getting a new album of material from this great diva....

    Always dissapointed that her 1979 hit "On Your Knees" has yet to appear, or even "Sorry", her first single...

    What are the timimgs???? That's always the consideration for me--cuz they likes to put the 3:30 versions of 6:30 tracks on these compilations to squeeze in more titles!!! Maybe I should check AMG....

    I'll report my findings.....;)

    No titles or timings listed there--at this point. damn!!!!

    I wish they would re-release Fame and Muse on CD (Fame was briefly released in the 90s). Those albums are awesome from beginning to end. I'm kind of sick of hearing La Vie En Rose again, even though its her signature tune from that period.

    Re: Grace Jones : new compilation CD !

    I'm a bit sick of the compilations, but I suppose it's nice that they finally did one that was comprehensive.. From the '70s to the '90s. If anything I'll probably get this just for the "Muse" tracks. AFAIK, it's the first time anything from that album has made it to CD..

    Re: Grace Jones : new compilation CD !

    I listened to the CD's in a hurry, but the songs appear to be the LP versions - I did not detect any extended, remixes or 12" versions at all.

    Someone needs to put out a definitive Grace Jones Disco compilation (or even a "Muse" CD release). The "Nightclubbing"/"Warm Leatherette" era has been done to death.

    That is the only down side to the new CD... All the tracks are the short/LP versions... According to the info booklet "NIGHTCLUBBING" album is being given an anniversary release this year and Grace has some new material due out shortly....

    I'm not perfect is a good one. it was the first single off the slave to the rhythm lp. or the one right before it. I remember her doing it on soul train.
    I didn't know she did some remakes. cry now laugh later was a wonderful song. it seems they took more from the gold 80's lp for this comp cd number two.

    I think I'm Not Perfect (But I'm Perfect For You) was from Inside Story, which was released after Slave To The Rhythm.

    Re: Grace Jones : new compilation CD !

    I'm confused. Some websites list 26 tracks on this compilation and others list 28 tracks. Is there a U.S. version and a U.K. version? Has anyone noticed?

    Re: Grace Jones : new compilation CD !

    How come they don't include "Slave to the rhythm" and they DO put in "I'm not perfect", which is a complete rip-off from that track, just escapes me.

    I notice that "Victor should have been a jazz musician" is absent too.

    Shouldn't these guys release FAME and MUSE on CD, instead of more compilations?
