"Slave To The Rhythm" does feel weirdly out of place on this.

I know, even moreso than the johnny cash cover. Classic "oh time to end the album, here goes the rest of the mayonnaise"

"Apple"/"Nipple" has always been my favourite Grace 12".

Going with "Apple" because it's morning, and I'm still stretching and yawning.

"Walking in the Rain", with "Private Life" and "Pars" close seconds

Sometimes when you have to move a poll thread from one board to another the votes get fucked up

i love the hard disco of 'hunter gets captured by the game' i listened to it like 100,000x this summer

she's lost control is just on a whole other fucking level, menacing dub reggae version that makes the original (& i don't really need to compare them, i know) feel malnourished

never bought the albums proper from this era as this 2cd set is by far the best option.
though i would love a 2cd expanded edition of Slave To The Rhythm.
but thats never going to happen.

but yeah, this is a brilliant 2cd set.

It's a great cold-weather coffee shop album, for some reason. Doesn't feel like "sip a daquari by the pool" as much as "warm up in cold weather" for some reason.

Fashion runways are in cold places with coffee shops. She's the exemplar of haute couture rock.

I adore this remix of “pull up to the bumper”:
