It should also be noted that there is this compilation of various types, who call themselves as: Colour Collection, Star Club presents Grace Jones, The Universal Masters Collection and just like here or Masters Collection Classic Collection. No wonder that the CD is offered identical with the last two names. At some point you have to get mixed up since.
Like most Best Of albums by Grace Jones also here the emphasis is placed on the trilogy Warm Leatherette / nightclubbing / Living My Life, which is not surprising, because it was now time the climax of the musical creation of Graciebaby. Your three disco albums Portfolio, Fame and Muse were only selectively something for me, because I just never got up disco and albums then never shone this elegant coolness like the time clearly closely linked to the rhythm section Ansley Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare was.
A bit hooked the selection in the sense that just from the disco phase only is "La Vie En Rose" represented and thus out of the ordinary. Personally, I would have to (contrary to the title rather uninspired) "Inspiration" can do without what might be explained by the fact that this is one of the few songs that has Grace (with) written and thus get royalties. A better choice would be for me the single "Living My Life" was what would have fit well on the royalties ago, but that's nitpicking because at Best Of albums happens to have each its own flavor, what is there on it.
So this is a really good choice for everyone who wants to get to know the music of Grace Jones. Which was also said that this music was heavily influenced by reggae and most of the songs were cover versions. Was quite astonishing that Grace Jones was probably the master of cover versions, because she pressed the respective songs alone with her singing (often a strange chant) a personal touch on and none of the songs is worse than the original version, perhaps even better, but always interesting otherwise. I find their versions of "Private Life" (Pretenders) and "Demolition Man" (Police) even better than the originals.
Those who have their original albums, which need not, of course (unless you really want to have anything from Grace). In addition to the original albums comes from my point of view anyway just fantastic double album "The Compass Point Sessions" in question.
