Description:

Warm Leatherette represents a watershed moment in the career of Grace Jones. It was the first of her much-loved and critically-lauded 'Compass Point trilogy' and also very much a leap into the unknown when it was released on Island Records in May 1980. At that time, Jones had a reputation as a disco-diva Second to none, a fact underlined by her first three Island albums (Fame, Portfolio and Muse). But, by the end of the 70s, disco was over. It was time to move on.
This is a beautiful newly-remastered collection, engaging in the whole of the Warm Leatherette album, b-sides and rare in-era mixes and instrumental versions Has had be done). It is a perfect demonstration of players, writers, producers, at the very apex of their game, led by the most singular performer, singing as if her life depended on it.
