"Island Life" was Grace Jones' 1985 compilation album, featuring songs from her Island Records albums "Portfolio", "Fame", "Warm Leatherette", "Nightclubbing", "Living My Life", and "Slave to the Rhythm". No tracks from "Muse" were included. The album was a huge success in the UK (reaching number #4 on the UK Album Chart in December, 1985), with "Pull Up to the Bumper" (#12 in the UK Singles Chart) and "Love Is the Drug" (#35) re-entering the charts a second time.

Cover

The cover is by Jean-Paul Goude. The body position is anatomically impossible. It's an example of "Goude"'s cut and paint technique, and it's from 1978.
