The Universal Masters Collection is a mid-price greatest hits album by Jamaican singer and songwriter Grace Jones, first released on December 2, 2003 by Universal Music.

Background

With the exception of "La Vie en rose" from Jones' debut studio album Portfolio (1977), the 13-track package focuses on material from Jones' Compass Point trilogy: Warm Leatherette (1980), Nightclubbing (1981), and Living My Life (1982). Included in the booklet is an essay by Daryl Easlea, which incorrectly states Jones' birth year.[2]

The album was later re-released a number of times by Universal with the same track listing, but alternate covers and new titles. 2005 saw the release of Best 1200 on the Japanese market. Colour Collection, released in 2006, used the Living My Life picture on its cover, while the German pressing Star-Club präsentiert Grace Jones (2008) recycled the Nightclubbing cover art. In 2008 the album was re-issued as Classic Grace Jones.
