Mischief Night tonight! If you’re Northern, you’ll know about it. For me, growing up in a small village, this was the most exciting time - better than Halloween or Bonfire Night.

One of my favourite albums - the sublime Slave to the Rhythm track remixed and messed about with by 80s production geniuses Trevor Horn and Steve Lipson. Was also sampled by The Orb in their brilliant track A Huge Ever Growing Pulsating Brain That Rules from the Centre of the Ultraworld.
'A decadent album, entirely appropriate to the intersection between art and fashion that Grace Jones has always inhabited.'
Many Happy Returns to #GraceJones' Slave To The Rhythm, which turns 40 today!
