Original Pressing – Fair Condition – Genre-Bending Iconic Transformation (Hard to Find) Enter the post-disco, avant-garde world of Grace Jones with Warm Leatherette, her groundbreaking 1980 album that redefined her sound and image. Moving away from her earlier disco roots, this record embraces a harder, more experimental edge — fusing reggae rhythms with new wave and synth-rock influences. Produced by the legendary Chris Blackwell and featuring the Compass Point All Stars, this is where Grace Jones became an icon. The title track, a searing cover of The Normal’s “Warm Leatherette,” sets the tone for the entire album — mechanical, sleek, and coolly rebellious. From her chillingly detached rendition of “Love Is the Drug” to the fierce “Private Life” (originally by The Pretenders), Jones transforms each song into her own stylish statement of power, identity, and reinvention. Condition: This is a vintage original pressing from 1980, in fair condition. The vinyl shows visible surface wear and may exhibit some noise during playback. The cover has moderate edge wear and signs of handling from over four decades of life. Please review all photos carefully — this record has survived the years, traveled through hands, and history, and carries the marks of its journey with pride. Special Note: These are the real records from the era — not reissues or replicas. Each one shows character, and each blemish is part of the story. Please look closely at the images for a detailed view of the condition. An essential album for fans of Grace Jones, gender-bending artistry, and the experimental intersection of reggae and post-punk — Warm Leatherette is bold, cold, and unforgettable.
