Rating: - Amazing Grace
God, I LOVE grace Jones. She is a true original. Her voice, her persona - one of a kind. This is a great collection of her work and worth getting, but why can't we get something new? The world needs some new grace!
Rating: - Ladies and Gentlemen, Here's GRACE!!!
GRACE JONES THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION is a great 3-cd set for die-hard Grace fans. Although all of the material has been previously released, the 32-bit remastering is what makes this collection worth the price.
The first cd covers the 70s (and part of the 80s) and include "La Vie En Rose" and "I Need A Man." Both songs remastered and in their entirety and sound fantastic! Also on cd #1 "Do Or Die" and "Fame" among others, which have not been released on remastered compilations like Private ... Read More
Rating: - Very pleased!
I was a great fan of Grace Jones back in the '70's, so I was very pleased to find this collection digitally remastered.
This vendor filled my order and shipped it immediately. I would not hesitate to do business with them again.
Rating:  - Best Grace Jones collection out there so far

The Ultimate Collection is the best Grace Jones collection out there, and there are several Jones compilations on the market. This one basically covers most of her career including her version of "La Vie En Rose", and other favorites ... Read More
Rating: - Not fully comprehensive
FOUR AND A HALF STARS
As compilations go, this one is not bad but there are still certain omissions. Disc One draws on albums like Portfolio (1977), Fame (1978), Muse (1979) and Warm Leatherette (1980), whilst Disc Two draws on Nightclubbing (1981), Living My Life (1982), Slave To The Rhythm (1985), Inside Story (1986) and Bulletproof Heart (1989). The third disc contains special remixes and extended versions, including the demo of Ring Of Fire.
