Notes

"Living My Life" is the sixth studio album by Grace Jones, released in 1982. It was the last of three albums she recorded at the Compass Point Studios in the Bahamas.
In contrast with the previous albums recorded at Compass Point, "Living My Life" contains mostly original material, with only one cover version, "The Apple Stretching", written by Melvin Van Peebles for the Broadway show 'Waltz Of The Stork'.
The title track, "Living My Life", was left off the album but saw a limited release in Portugal, and a version also appears on the 1986 reissue of "Love Is The Drug".

Singles from the album:
• Nipple To The Bottle
• The Apple Stretching · Nipple To The Bottle
• My Jamaican Guy
• Cry Now, Laugh Later - US and Canada only
• Unlimited Capacity For Love

My Grace Jones LPs arrived on time in good condition. They play beautifully on my turntable. Thanks!

WHERE IS THE DELUXE EDITION, ISLAND? WHERE IS SLAVE TO THE RHYTHM DELUXE EDITION, ISLAND? Ah, it seems they don't care. Sad indeed.

Great sounding Promotional pressing. I don’t recall have a version of this album that didn’t sound great. How btw how do they get such a fantastic bass sound on this album when so many albums suck at capturing bass?

This should be repressed as a deluxe version also like Nightclubbing and Warm Leatherette.

these Compass Point sessions should be an automatic edition if they are not already to the highest musical awards possible. from a Gong fan

For me this one and Hurricane are the best Grace Jones albums. It contains "Unlimited Capacity for Love", which is the best Grace Jones Track ever!

Is this for real? photo evidence please? Otherwise I think this may be an incorrect listing of the single LP https://www.discogs.com/Grace-Jones-Living-My-Life/release/500695

Grace fans need to have this album. It's clearly one of her absolute highlights, musically and production-wise. A shame Island doesn't seem too interested in releasing a nice deluxe package of this amazing album, making it neccessary to wade through record stores or the internet to get a copy which, luckily, isn't difficult at all.

Really need a deluxe of this album - so many great alternate mixes out there on hard to find vinyl, including the Living My Life single and the edit of Unlimited Capacity For Love. I really want a good clean version of the full Apple Stretching.
