This is definitely my favourite Grace Jones album as not only does it include the fantastic Flash and the Pan and Iggy Pop covers but it also features my favourite ever Grace Jones song, “I’ve Done It Again”, which I believe is about reincarnation. It was penned by Marianne Faithfull collaborator Barry Reynolds for Grace and he subsequently wrote most of the material for her follow-up album “Living My Life”.
This is one of Grace’s classics which sees her perfecting a post-punk/post-disco, reggae-infused pop with a using the Compass Point All Stars – Island boss Chris Blackwell’s studio band which featured such luminaries as Sly Dunbar, Robbie Shakespeare and Wally Badarou.
