Reviews & Discussion

Review by ogun7 Feb 09, 2008
This is a definitive compilation of Miss Grace's eighties sound. You not only get hits like My Jamaican Guy, Pull Up to the Bumper and Slave To The Rhythm but a her avant-garde New York Paradise Garage classics like: Unlimited Capacity For Love and Nightclubbing. This disc is a staple for any DJ that's a garage head or eclectic eighties track spinner. This disc is named after prolific mega-producer's Sly & Robbie studio in the Bahamas where these tracks were recorded and Miss Grace made music that capitvated a whole new generation of clubheads like myself.
