With the exception of "
La Vie en rose" from the 1977 album
Portfolio, 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. 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. ==Track listing==
