Compass Point All Stars

Band,
Reggae and R&B/Soul

House band of Chris Blackwell's Compass Point Studios, Bahamas, established in 1977. The members appeared on many classic late 1970s / early 1980s Island Records releases, but were usually credited individually rather than by their collective name. Their track "Peanut Butter" was reworked for Grace Jones, to become "Pull Up To The Bumper". The band consisted of a mix of Jamaican musicians (including the rhythm section of Sly & Robbie) with British guitarist Barry Reynolds (known for his collaborations with Marianne Faithfull) and Wally Badarou from Level 42 (a French synthesizer expert with Beninese origins) who gave a reggae color to songs of pop stars like Grace Jones or Joe Cocker.
