Perfect introduction to Grace Jones

I've been wanting to get into Grace Jones for a while and this is the perfect "best of" introduction album!

GRACE JONES THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION is a great 3-cd set for die-hard Grace fans. Although all of the material has been previously released, the 32-bit remastering is what makes this collection worth the price.

The first cd covers the 70s (and part of the 80s) and include "La Vie En Rose" and "I Need A Man." Both songs remastered and in their entirety and sound fantastic! Also on cd #1 "Do Or Die" and "Fame" among others, which have not been released on remastered compilations like Private Life: The Compass Point Sessions .

CD #2 covers the 80s and includes "I'm Not Perfect," "Victor Should Have Been A Jazz Musician," and "Love On Top Of Love"--again not available on previous compilations.

CD #3 is compiled from various cuts from Private Life: The Compass Point Sessions with the exception of "Sex Drive" that was released as a single.

Great set for fans who are familiar with Jones's work and want remastered tracks, but for the uninitiated I would suggest Island Life . That compliation has most of Grace's standards and is much cheaper. It'll give you a taste without breaking the bank.

Also included, small booklet with Jones bio and description/info of albums and tracks. (GRACE JONES THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION is made by Universal Music which also did Donna Summer: The Ultimate Collection )

The Epitome of GRACE!

Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2014

I'd been looking for a 'Best of' CD for Grace Jones for a while, and then came across this EXCELLENT collection. I suppose Ms. Jones is one of those 'love-em-or-hate-em' types of artists......well, count me on the 'LOVE her' side! This beautifully designed and laid out CD package hold 3 discs that highlight much of her musical journey through the decades since she burst onto the Disco scene in the 1970's. The tracks are remastered, sounding dynamic while clearly focusing on her vocals. I was fortunate enough to finally get to see her in concert a couple of years ago, and she's STILL burning up the stage with her gutsy vocals, stunning stage presence, and wildly creative scenic and costume styles! So glad to have her back on my 'turntable', so to speak.

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: MISS GRACE JONES" There is no other way to describe this living creature of image, theatrics, and rhythm. I am amazed and totally satisfied that a record company would take it's precious time and effort to finally recognize a true, original woman. Unfortunately, the "states" decided to focus on her obvious, and sometimes frightening, image. However, fans of the "Demolition Man" diva, will definitely appreciate this beautifully remastered collection. It's not meant to be a "singles collection" for the "casual box set fans." But it is the most glorious work of art of our "Queen of the Gay Discos" who later transferred into an "out of the box icon" with talent and pure genius. LONG LIVE, GRACE!!! PS. Special thanks 2 the one only AMAZON for their brilliant dedication in making their customers very pleased!!!

Her style may not be to everyone's liking, but most agree there is no one quite Her Grace. Visually and sonically, she is one of a kind and I'm proud to have been able to follow her career from the early days, "Fame", "Portfolio" all the way to "Hurricane". My one remaining wish is that they put her finest work, 'Muse' on to CD. I'm totally amazed this hasn't yet happened. Until then, I remain a .... "Slave to the Rhythm"!!

A great collection of Grace Jones' hits all in one place. Includes such great tracks as Nightclubbing, Private Life, Slave to the Rhythm amongst others. Also includes regular and long versions of Nipple to the Bottle, Slave to the Rhythm, My Jamaican Guy amongst others. Grace Jones fans and those who like but have never bought will be more than satisfied with this collection.

The best Grace Jones Compilation I have found

Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2014

Verified Purchase

Some of the mixes on CD 1 (i.e. Private Life and Love is the Drug) are different to what I remember which is a little disappointing but CD 2, which features her best tracks from her Island Records days are just excellent especially The Apple Stretching which is simply outstanding.
Over all a great compilation of her work.

Excellent collection of songs spanning the "musical" career of Grace Jones. Grace isn't really a singer, but she is a true entertainer, and her music is really wonderful in it's own quirky way. The third disc "bonus" really makes the collection, especially the Slave to the Rhythm remix.

Umfassende Best of Box mit zusätzlichen raren Versionen

Reviewed in Germany on February 15, 2011

Verified Purchase

Universal Music aus Holland nahm der sich der exzentrischen jamaikanischen Künstlerin an. Herausgekommen ist eine 3er CD-Box im Digipack mit der einen oder anderen Überraschung im remasterten Sound.
All Ihre Hits (Private Life, I've Seen That Face Before, der bekannteste Hit Slave To The Rhythm, Pull Up To The Bumper, La Vie En Rose, Love Is the Drug, I'm Not Perfect (But I'm Perfect For You) sind in der Albumversion auf CD 1 oder 2 vertreten. Obwohl der Song "Victor Should Have Been A Jazz Musician" kein Hit wurde ist aber auch dieser sehr hörenswert. Der Rest der Titel sind von Ihren Alben Nightclubbing, Living My Life, Slave To The Rhythm oder Island Life. Auf CD 3 warten dann rare Long-; Demo- bzw. Maxiversionen teilweise von Ihren bekannten aber auch unbekannteren Songs auf den Zuhörer. Nach meiner Meinung eine Mischung die passt und die es so in Deutschland noch nie zu kaufen gab. Zugegeben ist sie keine Hitparaden Queen, das wollte sie aber auch nie sein. Schließlich lebt sie auch vom Geld als Model für die Zeitschriften Vogue und Elle oder versuchte sich als Schauspielerin neben Arnold Schwarzenegger in "Conan der Barbar" oder als Gegenpart von James Bond in "Im Angesicht des Todes."

Die Gesamtspieldauer der CDs wurde gut ausgenutzt und liegt weit über 70 min. Spielzeit pro Silberling. Ein weiterführendes Booklet ist der Box ebenfalls beigefügt.

Hier zum detaillierten Inhalt der Scheiben:

CD: 1
01 La Vie En Rose 7:29

色々なな曲が楽しめます

Reviewed in Japan on December 14, 2019

Verified Purchase

おそらく1970年代後半から1989年頃までの楽曲を集めたベストアルバムと思われます。初期の曲は短いと思いきや、中には6，7分にもなる曲もあり結構楽しめました。disc3は単調で長いだけの曲もあったりします。
問題は、私も昔聴いていたSlave To The Rhythm。disc2の収録曲を聴いて「このバージョンか･･･」とガッカリ。アルバム「Slave To The Rhythm」（日本でいうマキシシングルのような作品）に唯一「Slave To The Rhythm」という名で収録されていますが、販売されていたシングルとは別物です。曲をかき集めた担当者が、disc3に12インチバージョンも収録するので敢えてこのバージョンにしたのか、それとも別バージョンとは知らず、単純にアルバムから「Slave To The Rhythm」をピックアップしたのか･･･。世界中のラジオ局などがこのCDを使ってdisc2の「Slave To The Rhythm」を放送していたかもしれませんね。

I took delivery of this 3-CD pack this afternoon, and did not stop playing it until I listened to every track! The digital quality is fantastic and the "bonus" third CD has really good (longer version and little known) tracks on it, including a demo track which I'd never heard before.

A really fantastic buy for Ms Jones fans - buy it !!!!
