"Warm Leatherette" is the fourth studio album by Grace Jones, released in May 1980. Her first album recorded at [[label:Compass Point Studios]], it features contributions from the reggae duo [[artist:Sly & Robbie]] and marks a dramatic change in sound, dropping the disco of her first three albums in favour of new wave and reggae. The album includes mostly covers, of songs by [[artist:The Normal]], [[artist:197435]], [[artist:Roxy Music]], [[artist:86094]], [[artist:269534]] and [[artist:Jacques Higelin]], plus two original songs. Most CD editions include longer versions of 5 tracks, compared to LP. These first appeared on some original cassette releases of the album. "Warm Leatherette" was the first Grace Jones album with cover art designed by her then-boyfriend, [[artist:Jean-Paul Goude]]. The initial release featured a black and white photograph of Grace Jones pregnant, wearing an [[artist:5335004]] dress. After the commercial success of "Nightclubbing", Island Records reissued "Warm Leatherette" with new artwork, a picture of Grace Jones performing "Walking In The Rain", taken from her 1982 concert video "[m=35683]". Singles from the album: • [m=66843] - UK only • [m=66829] • [m=54764] • [r=2338225] - US only, 4-track album promo • [m=66837] - Jones' first UK top 20 hit • [m=233506] - US only • [m=598963] - France and Canada only • [r=14012374] - Guatemala only.
