Clubbing Again...

Grace Jones‘ 1981 album Nightclubbing will be issued as a two-CD deluxe edition on April 28th 2014. The release was supposed to come out in 2006 but was then postponed to 2009 - but nothing happened (well, it is Grace Jones after all).

The album was the second in Jones’ so-called Compass Point Trilogy, produced by Chris Blackwell and Alex Sadkin. Widely regarded as her best studio work, the record spawned the hits "Pull Up To The Bumper", "Demolition Man" and "I’ve Seen That Face Before (Libertango)". This deluxe reissue sees Nightclubbing remastered for the first time with the bonus CD bringing together a large number of remixes, as well as offering two previously unreleased tracks (including a cover of the Gary Numan/Tubeway Army track "Me! I Disconnect From You". 

A two-LP gatefold heavyweight vinyl record will also be issued, with the second LP including six remixes (as well as the two unreleased tracks) and a digital download. There will also be a Pure Audio blu-ray audio edition that contains all 23 tracks found on the two-CD deluxe version.
