What the Critics Say

Though its scope is wide, ranging from Jones' 1977 debut through 1993's number one club single "Sex Drive," The Grace Jones Story -- a two-disc compilation released in 2006 -- contains nothing from 1985's Slave to the Rhythm, likely due to a licensing issue with the ZTT label. Otherwise, this contains virtually everything a casual fan could want, and it's wise to give Jones' '70s material (much of it solid, straightforward disco) more attention. There are 28 tracks in all, including classic early-'80s club singles like "Pull Up to the Bumper" and "Nipple to the Bottle" -- some of the baddest genre-defying club music ever laid down. ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide
