WHAT JAMES HAMILTON HAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS RELEASE:
GRACE JONES ‘Grace Jones Musclemix’ (Island 12 ISX 240)
Starting brilliantly and then blending as neatly as the material will allow, this Les Adams megamix medleys ‘Pull Up To The Bumper/Slave To The Rhythm(0-109⅔)/Warm Leatherette(107)/Private Life/Walking In The Rain(132/66)/Use Me(137½)/Love Is The Drug(139-141bpm)’, and has rapidly replaced the initial 12in pressing’s ‘Nipple To The Bottle’ as coupling to Groucho Smykle’s disjointedly starting 108⅓(intro)-108¾-109-109⅔-109¼-110bpm remix of ‘Pull Up To The Bumper‘ (not a patch on the 1981 Disconet remix), and Edith Piaf’s swirling 88bpm ‘La Vie En Rose’. Truth to tell, it’s not really essential.
