Graces Jones / Warm Leatherette reissue bonus tracks update

The recently announced Graces Jones Warm Leatherette reissue has been largely well received by fans, although inevitably if you look hard enough there is always something to be miffed about…

In this instance, some CD buyers were grumbling about the fact that the hi-res blu-ray audio edition includes five bonus tracks not on the 27-track two-CD set (or on the 4LP vinyl for that matter). The tracks in question are:

• 1. SHE’S LOST CONTROL (LONG VERSION 2) 6.45
  Issued as the b-side of 12” single 12WIP 6629, released June 1980.
• 2. SHE’S LOST CONTROL (LONG VERSION 3) 5.45
  Issued as a b-side of 12” single 12 IS 273, released May 1986.
• 3. LOVE IS THE DRUG (SINGLE REMIX) 3.21
  Remixed by Eric “ET” Thorngren.
  Issued as the a-side of 7” single IS 266, released February 1986.
• 4. PRIVATE LIFE (SINGLE REMIX) 4.04
  Remixed by Paul “Groucho” Smykle at the Fallout Shelter.
  Issued as the a-side of 7” single IS 273, released May 1986.
• 5. WARM LEATHERETTE (FRANCOIS KEVORKIAN REMIX) 6.32
  Remixed by Francois Kevorkian at Right Track Recording, NYC, May 1985.
  Previously Unreleased Mix.

Universal Music have clearly been reading your comments and have been in touch with SDE to point out that although these aren’t included on those other physical formats, you will be able to purchase them individually from various HD online stores. So in other words they will be available without having to buy the whole package all over again.

Warm Leatherette is reissued on 17 June 2016. Fans in North America and Canada should note that vinyl and two-CD can now be pre-ordered on Amazon. You can read all the details here.
