"On Your Knees" was the first and in most parts of the world the only single release from Grace Jones' third album Muse in 1979, in most territories credited as a double A-side with "Don't Mess With The Messer" as the second track. The 7" single featured edited versions of both tracks while the 12" included a very slightly different mix of "On Your Knees" and an extended remix of "Don't Mess With The Messer". None of these mixes and edits have been re-issued on CD, just like the Muse album itself, originally released in the year of the so called anti-disco backlash.[1][2]
