Looks like an official release.Just got confirmation that it will be availble soon from this website.Europe only fans can pre-order it now before it's July25th release here.I can now retire my much watched bootleg .

Note:It was originally released in the 80s as One Man Show than rereleased & retitled State of Grace w/ the promo video Slave to The Ryhtmn added.

Maybe I can replace my crappy VHS and DVD copies of 'A One Man Show'

awesome! though i really really like the "bootleg" version i have.

PhilG said:

Cool. I'm looking foward to Slaving To The Rhythm.

for anyone who hasn't seen this, it's certainly one to have if you love grace. it's everything you love about her, during the peak of her glory days, times one thousand.

Anxiety said:

I can't wait. I have been a admire of her style for years and I'm looking forward to checking it out.

Hotlegs said:

it's worth it, just for 'le vie en rose' and 'my jamaican guy', but the whole thing is mesmerizing.

Anxiety said:

Anxy,
Whats the tracklisting?

found1 said:

warm leatherette (complete with grace's donkey kong imitation)
walking in the rain
feel up
la vie en rose
demolition man
pull up to the bumper
private life
my jamaican guy
living my life
libertango

not a clunker in the bunch.

meanwhile, in a not altogether unrelated topic, i just discovered grace's "living my life" CD is WAY out of print and going for some pretty pricey sums. no wonder i can't find a copy at any wrecka stows!

Anxiety said:

Hey, that was pretty quick! Thanks for the info. Good luck with "living my Life".

Anxiety said:

Ah shit, it's got Legs favorite jams which are: My Jamaican Guy, Pull Up To The Bumper, and Demolition Man.

looking like a woman..


but feeling like a man

I'm glad my thread is attracting all the Grace fans .Btw, if you have netflix, rent The Singer & the Song . It has Grace doing La Vie en Rose on some German TV show back in the 70s.If you look closely, you'll see Grace's nipple peeking out of her dress ! & you thought Janet was first to do this!

PhilG said:

One thing I like about my girl Grace is that she don't give a fuck what anybody thinks and don't let anybody define her.

PhilG said:

Oh my god! you have truly made my day! I can not wait to get this. I'm a big Grace Jones fan and have barely seen any of her videos. Now that makes two DVDs to pick up next week. Grace Jones and Rick James!

dancerella said:

What, you haven't seen all her videos? Girl, you are missing out.

Anxiety said:

Great tracklisting! I love "Warm Leatherette". I haven't actually heard most of the original verisons of those songs.

Hotlegs said:

I do vaguely remember seeing some of her vids when I was really young. I thought she looked like a man at the time. I love her though.I got into her about 5 years ago and i think she's amazing! Which are your favorite songs of hers?

Hotlegs said:

add her versions of 'love is the drug' and 'warm leatherette' and you've got my list.

also, there's a lot of stuff on her 'inside story' album that's really good and pretty underrated.

Anxiety said:

I forgot Love Is The Drug. That's my jam.

Hotlegs said:

do you have the compass point sessions 2CD set? as far as i'm concerned, that's the only grace anyone really needs in their collection. not that getting her albums is a waste of money by any stretch...

Anxiety said:

Scarey but Fun and Victor [b]Should Have Been a Jazz Musucian [/b]are standouts

I still have alot of her stuff in vinyl. I probably will switch to CD format and look into that collection you're referring to Anxiety.

found1 said:

ooh, and i like "hollywood liar", too. i wish i could find a decent copy of this on CD, but all the import copies i've seen all have lame copy protection...

Anxiety said:

Ive still got my copy. Id hook you up if I knew how, man.

Hell yes! I'ma get that shit right away!

Anxiety said:

I've been searching like crazy for it too.

Hotlegs said:

Good choices! Add Nipple to the bottle to that list and you're good to go!

Legs has definately named all the good ones and "Nipple To The Bottle" is a perfect addition. Also, don't forget "Break Down".
