Grace Jones managed in 1981, with an incredible team of people working around her, to create something that truly lasted. Without her acute magic, her presence, her delivery, the recordings would not be being talked about and celebrated way into the 21st century.

The album is re-mastered for the very first time available on 1 CD, 2 CD Deluxe Edition, 2 LP 180g Deluxe Edition, Blu Ray audio and Digital formats. The 1CD will feature the original album, the 2CD will be original album, plus 12" mixes, b sides, and two UNRELEASED tracks. One of which is a cover of an early Gary Numan & Tubeway Army track "Me! I Disconnect From You."

The double LP will come in a beautiful gatefold package with the first featuring the original album and a second with a selection of key 12" mixes. The 1 and 2CD editions will also be available in digital form.

Nightclubbing, Grace Jones' fifth studio album, was released in May 1981 on Island Records ILPS 9624. With its nine tracks including club and chart smash 'Pull Up To The Bumper', it was an immediate critical hit, with positive reviews on both sides of the Atlantic.

The body of work that Grace Jones made her own at Island Records in the early 80s is among the most startling in popular music. Beginning with Warm Leatherette and concluding with Living My Life, the three albums Jones recorded between 1980 and 1982 at Compass Point Studios in Nassau in the Bahamas and produced by Alex Sadkin and Chris Blackwell became benchmarks. Nestling in the middle of these records, the very best of the very best, is Nightclubbing, the album on which her musical legacy rests.

It was Island Records founder, Chris Blackwell, who put together the Compass Point All-Stars for Jones' sessions. Keyboard player Wally Badarou, guitarists Mikey 'Mao' Chung and Barry 'White' Reynolds, percussionist Uziah 'Sticky' Thompson and the drum and bass powerhouse of Lowell 'Sly' Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare. These players can be seen as arguably the final great rhythm section after the Funk Brothers, Muscle Shoals, Phil Spector's Wrecking Crew and the Chic Organization. Rolling Stone was to suggest that Sly and Robbie leavened their "sprung riddims with a salty dash of funk," they "hipped Jones to rock's new wave."
