This is part of Uni's "Back to Black" series. There is nothing deluxe about this edition. The vinyl is a quality pressing - absolutely no surface noise! The cover is printed on heavy stock and beautifully reproduced. Hopefully, we'll see more reissues from Grace's catalog of this caliber.

I wasn't into Grace Jones' music that much in the 80s. I was familiar with a few tunes , and enjoyed her wild videos more. (Of course, she was awesome in A View To A Kill) .
This was a great find for me. Really solid from beginning to end. Definitely shades of Eurythmics in some of the tunes. I can see how they were at least partially influenced. I'm obsessed with "Art Groupie". haha

Not bad, just not very compelling (for my taste). I really liked Warm Leatherette and expected more from this album.
Very disco-y. There wasn't any song that grabbed me.
Once again expected more got less.

Nightclubbing is definitely Grace's best studio album. There are so many classic tracks here to tickle your ears. Pull Up To The Bumper trucks along with car horns and a scratchy hook. Feel Up, consisting of upbeat African rhythms is one of the best here. Walking In The Rain has Grace speaking in deep intonation "Feeling like a woman, looking like a man." And then there's the showstopper Nightclubbing.
The cover is definitely very strong.There is no middle ground. My friends' reactions were polarized. They were either scared by it or loved the avant garde look!
Long before the accessible Lady Gaga and audience friendly Pink, Grace Jones was doing her trademark snarl and strutting around with her outrageous image. So if you want the true original, go for Grace!

I had no idea who Grace Jones was until I saw her perform on the Pee-Wee's Playhouse Christmas Special (1988). I obtained a few of her songs (legally, of course) and went from there. Grace Jones has a very original style that I've never seen in any artist before. From her androgynous appearance, pouting lips, and French lyrics, you can't go wrong with Grace Jones. She is quite possibly one of the most underrated artists of her time. My top favorite songs on this album include Walking in the Rain, Use Me, I've Seen that Face Before, and Pull Up to the Bumper. Walking in the Rain is an artistic, dark, and haunting melody. In fact, it's the most played song on my MP3 player. If you're tired of ordinary musicians give Grace Jones a try. Warm Leatherette is another classic album. What more can I say? She's brilliant. I'm hoping she will return to the music scene very soon.

I think that this is perhaps the ESSENTIAL CD for any music collection! Grace was at the top of her game and at the height of her popularity, and this set of songs captures her at her best. While Grace never did have a 'pretty' voice, and some of her music is a bit 'off' sounding, this CD was produced to perfection, and Grace never sounded better. Seeing her on Johnny Carson one night, sitting beside him in a full metal breast plate she described the new style she was exploring as 'talk singing' ... not rap ... but 'talk singing' and this is well demonstrated on Nightclubbing ... this is a 9 song collection of Grace Jones fun!

This review is for the product not the album. The LP arrived on time in beautiful shape. The sound on the remaster vinyl is perfect.

I never really listened to Grace Jones back when she was popular. I'm like that with a lot of artists, a late listener! When I saw this album on sale on Amazon I listened to the samples and loved it! Her covers are bizarre and original and her own songs are fantastic! liked it so much I bought a few more of her albums, Hurricane, Warm Leatherette, Living My Life and Slave To The Rhythm, which is basically remixes of the one song.

Grace Jones at her best and a wonderful issue on vinyl
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 28, 2021Verified Purchase
If you have come to Grace Jones via the bombastic Slave To The Rhythm, you really ought to check our her earlier stuff and read her autobiography. What a life!
I had heard good things about Nightclubbing as a LP worth having if you appreciate vinyl, and being familiar with Pull Up To The Bumper, I took the plunge. WOW! is all I can say. Great tracks! and some real surprises. By far the biggest surprise, is Done It Again, soft gentle and a beautifully judged vocal performance that you won't believe is Grace. I have to say a word about the this particular issue. I am very particular about my LP collection, and thrilled with this pressing. All too often even new vinyl is of poor quality, but this is whisper quiet (in terms of background noise level), no crackles, and mastered so well, from the deepest bass to the highest highs, all there to enjoy. 5 stars without hesitation both for Grace and for Back To Black records for the re-issue.

Heeeeres Grace.....
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 17, 2018Verified Purchase
I bought this after watching the price rise and fall...at thirteen quid,,I couldn't resist. Fantastic value for money. I had the 12" singles from this and bought the album later on CD. This is a great CD..first disc the album, the second..various remixes and versions. I guess you need to be selective with these...too much of a good thing.
What drew me to this album and drives me still..is the amazing musicians on this..mainly Sly and Robbie. Amazing riddims and bass lines in particular. Pull up to the bumper is a mighty groove....
The arrangement of NightClubbing is something else....play the iggy version and then this ....you'll believe a man can fly.....worth reading her autobiography as well...as this gives some interesting background to the sessions as well I'll Never Write My Memoirs

I am pretty sure I didn't pay over 20 quid for this

I am pretty sure I didn't pay over 20 quid for this, but seemingly that is the price. There's a great cover of Numan's 'Me, I Disconnect From You' on this expanded set and the Spanish version of Libertango is also 'naice'. If I'm being ultra-picky, the version of Walking in the Rain found on the Compass Point Sessions CD is better than the ones here - it's got an even more biting vocal performance and just feels tighter.

An amazing album. Grace Jones' catalog has received a pleasant shake up recently with the re-releases of the first three albums as a box set called Disco, an excellent undertaking by the label, (if slightly marred by the lack of care in the inclusion of one song), which includes much sought after extended versions and b-sides. Now we have Nightclubbing, and soon Warm Leatherette, getting this special treatment. I honestly hope this becomes part of a trend for this amazing artist, and not just for Grace Jones...Prince people need to take a look at this as a template for his catalog's eventual re-release.

Re-issue of a classic!

Simply put, the best album released by Grace Jones (to date), now with an extra disc of extended versions, remixes and a couple of new tracks. I thought the original could not be beaten but with the additional versions of songs it makes the full album more complete. The cover of the Gary Numan song is excellent and sounds nothing like the original, the extended versions are fun and for me make this the essential album to own. It does not sound dated at all, fresh and ready to burn into your mind for a long time, the soundtrack of my life would not be complete without this album.
