Includes 2 previously unreleased tracks, 4 previously unreleased versions of her hits, and 16 songs appearing for the first time on CD.
A comprehensive collection of Jones' post-disco work, most of it recorded between 1980 and 1982 in Nassau, Bahamas, with a truly remarkable studio band, including the legendary reggae rhythm team of Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare, along with Marianne Faithful collaborator Barry Reynolds on guitar. The songs--which run the gamut from Smokey Robinson to Chrissie Hynde to Johnny Cash--are generally arranged in an innovative, ahead-of-their-time way (echoey yet spare, with lots of deep bass) that owes a bit to dub and in any case provides a perfect backdrop for Jones' Queen of the Undead vocals.
Industry Reviews
...Her mannish, sing-speak delivery (imagine a Jamaican Lotte Lenya) bristles with sexual frisson, and driven by Sly & Robbie's cyber-dub rhythms on those early-'80s sessions, it made for transgressive dance-floor epics that bridged new-wave chill and `Saturday Night Fever'... - Rating: B+
Entertainment Weekly (06/19/1998)
8 (out of 10) - ...These songs capture the vibe of the early 1980s demilitarized zone between disco and hip-hop, when black pop slowed down the tempo but remained party-friendly and percolated in a distinctly African way...
