The Studio 54 icon sees her classic album remastered and expanded for the first time.
Island Records has announced a bumper reissue package for Grace Jones’ 1981 LP Nightclubbing, which has been remastered from the original analogue tapes and expanded with a raft of bonus 12″ mixes and B-sides.
The expanded versions also include two freshly unearthed tracks from the original sessions, including a cover of Tubeway Army’s ‘Me! I Disconnect From You’, while the double LP comes in a gatefold package with the original album paired with a selection of 12″ mixes.
Fans should also look out for a special 12” for Record Store Day 2014 featuring the Tubeway Army cover plus ‘Feel Up’ (Long Version). Wade through the tracklists of the deluxe versions below.
The 65-year-old Jones is currently writing her memoirs after agreeing a deal with Gallery Books last year.
