Well, that was...

It didn't work. The remixes were poor, the speech was blandly slapped on top, the interviews simply didn't work as well they did on the Frankie B Sides, maybe a bunch of drunk Scouse lads are intrinsically more fun than Grace Jones?

And they were B sides, you can do that sort of thing on a B side, not an album

Like this:

That was much better than the extended 12" Mix we had for some reason in the album playlist. doh

Like this:

Yes, the track listing we just sat through would have benefited massively from that being on it. yes

I don't feel I can vote for an option that has 'I can't dance to this!' for a Grace Jones LP....

This sounds like the sort of thing everyone does in the first half hour when they get hold of a recording studio.

It's the long 12" mix..

Err.. sorry about that.

I think my CD version just has the single version of Slave to the Rhythm. Colbert

I bought this album years ago hoping for the extended version as I already had the single version on the Island Life compilation. I still don't have the extended version on CD, but I do have it on the Slave to the Rhythm 12" picture disc. bowtie

Like when you get a Welsh village and everyones called Jones, so you get Jones the Baker, Jones the Butcher and here we have Miss Jones, The Rhythm.

Every '80s synth-strings noise thrown at this.
