Grace's First "New Wave" Album Gets A Re-Boost!

Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2016

Verified Purchase

An exceptional reissue of Grace Jones first "new wave" album. This expanded edition of Warm Leatherette is beautifully remastered and contains almost every remix/edit for all of the singles pulled. Island/Universal demonstrate how a superior quality product should be, with expansive booklets,photos and above all beautiful box style packaging. This reissue holds up very well with 2014's equally brilliant Nightclubbing and Disco reissues. All we need now are the deluxe editions of Living My Life and Slave To The Rhythm.

Had this on vinyl for one song, bought as MP3 for same one song. Best to play at high volumes when feeling blue or PO'd. Shouldn't be a stretch to figure out which song. BTW, her version of Petty's Breakdown is also worth the price of admission. Ms. Jones has long been someone with a certain something and it carries well even after all of these years on this recording.

Dark, Angry and AWESOME!

Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2013

Verified Purchase

I always thought Grace Jones as the tough man in fringe dance/disco/experimantal music and this CD opens up with the death of a motorist set to an interesting musical background ... Grace talk-sings in Warm Leatherette, "A tear of petrol is in your eye/the hand break penitrates your thigh/quick! Let's make love before we die!" Just a little macabre, eh? The whole CD has a darker feel to it, but it is simply one of the best Grace produced in her height of popularity. My personal favorite is trac 7, titled Bullsh*t ... cheeky, fun, and dead serious. A MUST for any Grace Jones fan, or for anyone who wants to discover her cult like appeal ... AWESOME!

I used to own this recording in vinyl format when it first made it's debut while I was living in Chicago !! Also...I got to see her perform live on stage @Lincoln Park West in Chicago around the same time. I used to use bits of songs from this collection in my work as a performer while living in Chi City also, So ...all in all I love this CD to death. I consider this one of her greatest works ever. can't get enough of it. A must for all Grace Jones fans. *(She was before her time; better than Lady GaGa) As far as wearing way out there & outlandish costumes in her performances. Hooray for Grace Jones <3

A cover version is not a cover version with Grace Jones at the helm.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 5, 2018

Verified Purchase

Growing up in the 80s, I never really got Grace Jones. She just seemed so out there and was a little too weird for my pop tastes. As always, it's only through the passing of time and the gaining of maturity that you come to realise how little you actually know. Grace Jones is quite frankly a bit of a genius.

Warm Leatherette is the first album of the now legendary Compass Points Trilogy (Nightclubbing and Living My Life complete the set) and what an album it is. Many of the songs are cover versions; however, there are cover versions and there are Grace Jones covers which bear no resemblance to the originals. Roxy Music's "Love is the Drug" is a classic song and brilliant in its original form. Jones (with the help of producer Alex Sadkin and the talented musicianship of Sly, Robbie, Wally et al) transform the song into a fast-paced electro-funk jam. Private Life makes you forget the original by The Pretenders (who are brilliant by the way but just can't compete with the Jones' killer version). The title track (originally an electronic Kraftwerk-sounding bleeps and blops and very cool) is again transformed by Jones into a reggae classic.

The original album is a must-own; the deluxe version is a must-own multiplied by by 100! The sound quality is outstanding and the package looks and feels luxurious in a hard-bound box alongside the 12 inch colour booklet which has some interesting reading material on the making of the album. I cannot recommend the album highly enough. It is a proper classic and well worth the admission price.

Less would have been more …

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 9, 2020

Verified Purchase

While playing the Pretenders eponymous debut the other day I was reminded that Grace Jones had covered, and had a hit with "Private Life". Prompted by that memory, and already owning Jones's greatest hits compilation "Island Life" I plumped for "Warm Leatherette" as the point from which to start my explorations of Jones's catalogue as Wiki [other online information sources are available] informs me that this, her fourth album was the point she abandoned disco diva'dom and headed off in a new "new wave" direction. Although listening this morning I am not convinced by the accuracy of that statement, because underpinning these songs there's still a strong dance/trance feel, even if perhaps there's more minimalism and less BPM than you might find on the dance-floor.

Like most of the songs here the opening and title track "Warm Leatherette" is a cover, only "A Rolling Stone" is co-credited to Jones, and while I am not familiar with the original I assume that the beats and pulsing sounds are largely products of Jones teaming with Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare, but it's that extraordinary sound that these guys create and their reinvention of these songs that defines this album. And at six and a half minutes their dance/trance electronic/minimalist reinterpretation of "Private Life" is a prime example of that reinvention, it's an excellent and very different take on the Pretenders' original and sets a high standard for the songs that follow. But unfortunately the self-penned "A Rolling Stone" comes immediately afterwards and by comparison it's weak formulaic '70s chart fodder although at only three and a half minutes it is the shortest track on the album. The quality picks-up again with Roxy Music's "Love Is The Drug", though at eight and half minutes the Jones version is twice as long as the Roxy original; and while Jones's voice is perhaps less seductive than Bryan Ferry's with the song's metronomic beat and repetitive pulses it has an almost hypnotic effect; but, and it's not alone in this failing, the track out stays its welcome long before its dreadful ending and I'm afraid I much prefer the shorter six minute version that appears on "Island Life".

The original side two opened with Jones' take on Smokey Robinson's "The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game", cards on the table I don't like this Motown meets disco fusion, I'm sorry it just doesn't do it for me and at nearly seven minutes it's a long wait for the next song. But that song is "Bullshit" [by title only], with more of a bluesy sound this wouldn't have been out of place on label-mate Marianne Faithfull's contemporaneous "Broken English" or "Dangerous Acquaintance" albums. Penultimate track, Tom Petty's "Breakdown" is more contemplative than any of it's predecessors [just!] and with its slightly jazzier edge is probably my favourite track on the album; and that jazzy edge continues with "Pars" but that's maybe just because it's sung in French with Jones doing her best Edith-Piaf-torchsong-chanteuse-thing, it's OK but I've no idea what it's about [Google Translate confirms it is indeed a torchsong].

And that's it, there's only eight tracks, but they're mostly long tracks giving more than forty-six minutes of music in total and that's where the problem lies; many of the tracks far out stay their welcome with all sorts of unnecessary extended bits and I think I would have preferred the shorter versions that were on the seven minutes shorter original LP release; and that's why it's only three stars and why I can't see myself going further into the Grace Jones catalogue.

Better than Nightclubbing, maybe?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 8, 2017

Verified Purchase

Everyone seems to prefer Nightclubbing but I reckon this is Grace's best. The title track, Love is the Drug, Tom Petty's Break Down and Chrissie Hynde's Private Life all get turned into thumping, dub-new-wave-funk-reggae anthems for the disco dominatrix, and there's also her brilliant assault on Joy Division's She's Lost Control as one of the many, many bonus tracks.

Non-fans are probably not going to be that into the umpteen 'long', 'dub' and 'single' versions included in this remastered box, but if you're a fan, you'll dig it. Albeit probably in a 'dip in to the odd few tracks now and then' sort of way, rather than a 'Mmmm, I'm in the mood for 7 consecutive versions of Private Life' manner. Although, if that's your bag, don't let me stop you.

So cool. This is what you hope a box set would be -- all of the released versions and remixes, with plenty of liner notes and nice mastering. The tracks are unique with her voice on top of satisfying reggae grooves (and plenty of familiar covers to reel you in.) The collection allows you a kind of immersive experience with enough quality content to transport you back to that particular studio at that particular time. There are three albums considered to be in her Jamaican series, so I am hoping that the other two are on the way.
