Grace Jones – Island Life (Island Masters Edition CD)

This is the iconic 1985 compilation album by Grace Jones, released as part of the Island Masters series (catalogue IMCD 16).

The front cover features the legendary and provocative image of Grace Jones in a striking, sculptural pose — standing on one leg in a dynamic, almost robotic stance, holding a wired microphone, wearing only a red belt and leg warmers against a simple blue backdrop. The bold typography spells out GRACE JONES at the top and ISLAND LIFE at the bottom, with the Island Records logo prominently displayed.

The back cover, in a clean white and gold design with the Island Masters branding, lists the full 10-track tracklist:

1.  La Vie en Rose

2.  I Need a Man

3.  Do or Die

4.  Private Life

5.  Love Is the Drug

6.  I’ve Seen That Face Before (Libertango)

7.  Pull Up to the Bumper

8.  Walking in the Rain

9.  My Jamaican Guy

10.  Slave to the Rhythm

This compilation brings together Grace Jones’ groundbreaking hits and signature covers, blending reggae, new wave, disco, and art-pop with her unmistakable deep voice and avant-garde style. Produced by a stellar team including Tom Moulton, Chris Blackwell, Alex Sadkin, and Trevor Horn, Island Life captures the essence of her transformative Island Records era.

A must-have collection showcasing one of music’s most fearless and influential icons.

The CD is housed in its original clear jewel case and includes the complete original booklet with full credits and artwork. Expect some wear and scratches to case and booklet.
