From Amazon:
'‘The Disco Years’ is a beguiling time capsule, bringing together Ms Jones’s three pivotal, era-defining albums recorded for Island Records from the late-‘70s, Studio 54 disco epoch. Produced by Tom Moulton, the undisputed ‘father of the disco mix’, and recorded at Sigma Sound studios in Philadelphia, ‘Portfolio’, ‘Fame’ and ‘Muse’ are three of the most disco-sounding records of all time. Only sporadically available as single CD albums for many years, ‘The Disco Box’ re-presents them as a single collection over three discs, lovingly remastered with a host of bonus B-sides, edits, instrumentals and in-era and extended mixes, some previously unreleased, all presented in a chic and sleek box."

Also available on 4 LPs but missing quite a few of the bonus tracks, which are exclusively on the 4th disc. :(

I am so excited about this! Is Amazon USA going to be carrying this? or is it going to be like "Nightclubbing (Deluxe Edition)" and has to be gotten from UK? Anyone know?

It is only a UK release, so while I'm sure Amazon US will carry it, you're better off ordering from the UK anyway. There was a marker page on Amazon's US site for a while but it's not there now. It should show up again soon enough.

Grace Jones: Disco Blu-ray audio

March 27, 2015 by Paul Sinclair

Despite the expensive four-LP vinyl box and the cute three-CD collection, perhaps the most exciting format the forthcoming Grace Jones Disco set is being released on is the blu-ray audio, which is now available to pre-order.

Disco, or ‘The Disco Years’ as Amazon keep insisting on calling it, contains newly remastered versions of Jones’ first three Island Records albums, namely Portfolio (1977), Fame (1978) and Muse (1979). What’s so good about the blu-ray is that for once the large capacity of the format is being utilised and this contains the entire 43-tracks in the CD box – including all 21 bonus tracks – all in glorious hi-res stereo.

All formats of Disco will be released on 4 May 2015.
Note the track listing on Amazon incorrectly only lists the first two albums and bonus tracks. Universal Music have confirmed to SDE that the blu-ray repeats all tracks from the CD box

If anyone got the cd box, the "Fame" disc, whose track 9 was missing the vocal, the disc has been corrected and repressed, and if you contact Universal, they will send a replacement. I don't know about replacements for the blu-ray or vinyl but got my replacement disc in the mail yesterday.

Send email to mk.customerservices@umusic.com.

yes indeed, my copy was missing the vocal from track 9 on the Fame disc.
i emailed... they emailed... got my corrected replacement disc a week later... i emailed them a sincere "thank you!"
i ALMOST trashed the flawed disc, BUT since it has a peculiar "karaoke" version found nowhere else,
I'M KEEPING IT TOO! :yay:
