In the wake of Marianne Faithfull's disco-punk fusion on 1979's Broken English, Island label mate and disco diva Grace Jones made a similar left turn with a couple of albums of new-wave classics (the Pretenders' "Private Life," Iggy Pop's "Nightclubbing"), new-wave "classics" (the Normal's "Warm Leatherette") and a soul chestnut or two ("The Hunter Gets Captured by the Game") given her uniquely growling treatment. As the funk grew stronger, she even placed a few hits on the charts, notably the 1982 "Pull Up to the Bumper." Private Life surveys this, the artiest of Jones's periods, including rare 12-inch and dub mixes. --Rickey WrightCustomer Reviews:
This Set Is FUNKY AVANT GARDE FIYAH!.......2007-07-17
oh gosh...and "Private Life" (dub version) especially when you listen with stereo headphones.....you're in another realm. definitely worth the money i spent on it.this set is getting CONSTANT rotation in my portable mp3 player. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Private Life .......2005-04-22
Her cover of The Normals "Warm Leatherette" is something special, indeed. The continuous hints at sex and the amazing band is truly something that everyone should experience, once in a life time that is. My favorite track off Warm Leatherette is the exotic French tune: Pars. Amazing capable of a tranquillest buzz, the breathy, sexy vocals are amongst some her finest and once again the band drains each beat to the bone, truly stunning. Also included is the hypnotic "Private Life" (Presented in both a long and a dub version) stands as one of her biggest hit singles to date. Grace hit the height of her career in 1981 with the album: Nightclubbing. The album was something completely new, a perfect kind of chill: making sex on warm leatherette. The jungle rhythm of "Pull Up to the Bumper" still sounds as fresh and naughty as did nearly 25 years ago and the dog breathing slob of "Feel Up" is equally matched by the mysterious On-Paris-streets-at-night "I've Seen That Face Before (Libertango). Seldom have I heard Grace sound as intimate as she does on "I've Done It Again" which slides right down and strips you off instant breath.
The final session the album cull songs from is "Living My Life" which contains songs of the more personal direction. On the album Grace co-wrote and eventually co-produced each and every song on the album. The beast songs chosen from Living My Life are: the stunning "Nipple to the Bottle", "My Jamaican Guy", "The Apple Stretching" and the heart-throbbing "Unlimited Capacity for Love" which stands as one of my personal favorites. Private Life: The Compass Point Sessions is stunning representation of Grace's Island material; includes 26 songs and many of them are presented in extended and in different mixes. It also includes 2 previously unreleased songs prior to the album release: the funky "Vamp-ish" Man Around the House and the reggae influenced Johnny Cash cover "Ring of Fire". Private Life: The Compass Point sessions are mostly aimed at hard-core Grace Jones fans (who anxiously await a new album release) but it also makes for a great listen to the casual fan who wants to explore the "Grace Jones Legend" a little closer.

Strong but with more holes than it should have.......2002-12-06
This record gives us a few staples of the form, but also gives us a number of really strong rare finds. And while this was a great direction to go in, there are some very serious holes in this collection. That's the problem when you start adding some of the popular stuff: it changes the mission of the record for the listener and we expect it to reflect a more historical approach. We're left with a record that has some gems - and a record any collector or fan of funk should have - but not with necessarily the greatest record.
Pretty good for a mere 2-CD set. The form has always lent itself to box set compilations.

Legendary Funk Band !.......2007-03-12
As for the sound... Fatback is... Fatback. At times a bit "messy" (the horns may not necessarily hit the right notes and vocals can be forced) - - yet at the same time they're always tight, together... and the tunes are nicely put together. They can also groove and do some interesting stuff at more laid back and trippy tempos. Bass player is always kicking, drummer (the leader) definitely an under-rated legend (plenty of great breakbeat type stuff)... guitars are always strumming out some great funk,, nice horn lines, a little tambourine shaking, party like atmsphere and of course, there are vocals to boot... - - I guess in a way the sound is a bit similar to Early 70's Stax... Definitely not old school Memphis "Soul", but not the sizzling techno-funk of Tower of Power either... as I said... Fatback is Fatback... and thank God...
If you like Fatback, check out NEW BIRTH as well...!

Great 70s Soul!!.......2005-10-15
The music on these recording allow Ms. Laws to have a vocally different approach and register than what one may be used to hearing on her vocally laid-back and more jazz-oriented sides on Liberty and ABC. Here her voice appears much fuller and stronger. While some of the material is not always 5-star caliber, her vocals are never-the-less excellent. In fact, at times she doesn't even sound like the same person as the singer who sang songs such as "Weekend" "You're Incredible" or "Strength Of A Woman." As a side note, this reviewer isn't sure what the other reviewer was listening to, but the mastering is excellent. The sound quality is comparable and definitely on-par with typical late 60s/early 70s production.
Songs such as Love Factory and Stay With Me have a decidedly Motownish sound and fit right in with other artists' songs on the Invictus label at the time. If you are a fan of the sound of the Honey Cone (Want Ads, Stick Up, One Monkey Don't Stop No Show) Glass House (Crumbs Off The Table) or Freda Payne (Band Of Gold, Bring The Boys Home) then you will enjoy these sides. Incidentally, this particular compilation joins her early 70s singles with the full length lp she released on CBS in 1977.
This is highly recommended listening for the Eloise Laws fan and essential for the completist.
DONT BOTHER.......2003-01-17
This woman has an amazing voice one that really should be listened to but this albums material is just shocking.....bad recording sound also...Go get The Key and Secrets both fantastic.
