The very first time an all-career-spanning Roxy Music collection has been made available on vinyl!
Since their inception in 1972, multi-platinum Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees Roxy Music have left an indelible mark on the worlds of music, fashion, and art, merging the three with a singular and astonishing vision that brought them immediate, global success. Today they are regarded as one of the most influential bands of all time, whose music and iconic imagery continues to inspire new generations of artists.
Arranged in reverse-chronological order, The Best Of Roxy Music track listing bookends their peerless recording career. The set opens with Avalon and More Than This, two iconic compositions that propelled the band’s final album on to multi-platinum success. More Than This alone has garnered more than 123 million streams. Elsewhere, songs like Love Is The Drug and Angel Eyes pioneered a new fusion of rock and disco; Do The Strand and Street Life blurred the lines between genres, and Re-Make/Re-Model and Virginia Plain at once birthed and defined the art-rock movement and influenced more than one generation of aspiring young musicians - from St Vincent, Sex Pistols and Grace Jones, to Duran Duran, CHIC, Franz Ferdinand and countless others. Of course, also included are the all-time great ballads Oh Yeah!, Dance Away and Over You and their sensitive interpretation of John Lennon’s Jealous Guy – a UK No. 1 for the band in 1981. Intense and emotive, these 18 songs capture the wide-screen vision of Roxy Music’s restless creativity across eight classic studio albums, recorded between 1972-1982.
Includes restored and enhanced artwork, lyrics, and have been remastered at half-speed by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios.
