20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Grace Jones CD music Initial pressings of THE JOURNEY included a bonus CD featuring 12" remixes. As one of the few performers from the disco era to have a career beyond one-hit wonder status, Donna Summer has continued forward on her creative path well into the 1990s, necessitating the release of the two-disc THE JOURNEY: THE VERY BEST OF DONNA SUMMER. Summer neophytes will get their share of this diva's classic '70s fare including soft-core anthems ("Love to Love You Baby"), streetwalker tributes ("Bad Girls"), erstwhile Jimmy Webb covers ("Macarthur Park") and songs that became ubiquitously associated with proms and weddings ("Last Dance"). Disco aficionados also get a taste of deeper cuts, including "Heaven Knows," "I Feel Love," and "Bad Girls." This set also features Summer's foray into more straightforward pop like "She Works Hard for the Money" and "This Time I Know It's for Real," the comeback dance-pop smash that also doubled as a collaboration with '80s production team Stock/Aitken/Waterman. Although the second disc only contains five songs, it showcases the lengthy extended versions of songs that dance music fans are accustomed to hearing. This means you get 12" inch remixes of "I Feel Love" and "Hot Stuff," along with an epic version of "You're So Beautiful" that clocks in at just under 11 minutes. Includes liner notes by Brian Chin. 2cds W/2 New Recordings. 1st Run Incl.Bonus CD W/4 Remixes.

20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Grace Jones album for sale One of Jones' best post-disco albums, recorded in Nassau, Bahamas, with a truly remarkable studio band, including the legendary reggae rhythm team of Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare, along with Marianne Faithful collaborator Barry Reynolds on guitar. The songs are generally arranged in an innovative, ahead-of-their-time way (echoey yet spare, with lots of deep bass) that owes a bit to dub and in any case provides a perfect backdrop for Jones' Queen of the Undead vocals. Highlights include the proto-rap "Walkin' in the Rain," (by Easybeats/AC/DC auteurs Vanda and Young) and a spooky cover of Bill Withers' "Use Me." Photographer: Jean Paul Goude. Personnel: Grace Jones (vocals); Tyrone Downie (vocals, keyboards); Mel Speller (vocals, percussion); Masai Delon, Jess Roden (vocals); Monte Browne, Mikey Chung, Barry Reynolds (guitar); Jack Emblow (accordion); Wally Badarou (keyboards); Sly Dunbar (drums); Uziah "Sticky" Thompson (percussion).

20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Grace Jones CD music An audio biography of Grace Jones, produced by Trevor Horn, it's a sonic treat along the lines of Yes's 90125 or Frankie Goes to Hollywood's first album (both produced by Horn). The music ranges from slick R&B runaway grooves to striking audio montages, interrupted occasionally by conversation about Jones's life. Serious ear candy. ~ Scott Bultman Out of print in the U.S.! Originally released in 1985, Slave To The Rhythm, produced by Trevor Horn, was both an aural departure and a natural progression from her earlier releases. At times, she was just a voice lost amongst Horn's elegant production, but, in the end, this remained a classic addition to her musical catalog. Grace Jones transcends genres by incorporating Pop, Disco, Reggae, New Wave and other styles into her wholly unique mix. Adding Horn as a producer took that mix straight into outer space. Eight tracks including 'Slave To The Rhythm', 'Operattack' and 'The Fashion Show'. Spectrum. Unknown Contributor Roles: Grace Jones; Gavyn Wright. Arrangers: Frank Ricotti; Richard Niles.
