Warm Leatherette by Grace Jones has had such an impact on me that I if I heard her cover on this album first, I can't like the original versions - not only because they're generally stylistically worlds apart, but because Grace's versions filled in anything that could have possibly been missing from the original versions (that I, and possibly even the original songwriters and performers, could never have imagined)...

#crystal visions of lilies in the valley #the only exception unfortunately is ''Breakdown'' because...well. yeah. I love you Grace but that's my favorite band. lol #the drumming and keyboards are unexpectedly neat as shit on ''Breakdown'' though. (you can tell Benmont but not Stanley that I said that.)#I prefer Grace singing it by A BAZILLION MILES though and I wish she'd sang it and The Heartbreakers had backed her instead.#GRACE JONES AND THE HEARTBREAKERS...! my brain cannot fathom or comprehend that concept. oh my god.#make no mistake I am absolutely not saying I would not want to imagine that. I WANT to imagine that! ugh :') brilliance beyond me...
