Roxy Music: For Your Pleasure (50th Anniversary) (2CD)

Eno left the band after *For Your Pleasure*, leaving Bryan as the undisputed bandleader, but even during his final days with the band, the quality never waned. In fact, songs like “In Every Dream Home A Heartache” and “The Bogus Man” are still considered hallmarks of that era. In 1973, Roxy Music’s second album, titled “For Your Pleasure,” followed their debut. For this album, the band was able to spend more time in the studio, resulting in a more elaborate and experimental production. Brian Eno’s mix of tape-loop effects is unmistakable in “The Bogus Man,” and “Do the Strand” is celebrated as the quintessential Roxy Music anthem. The album reached No. 4 on the UK album charts. Bryan Ferry curated both the musical and visual content of this reissue. Available in various formats, this reissue combines the original album with previously unreleased and rare audio and AV material from the time of the album’s release, as well as “Pyjamarama” (b / w “The Pride And The Pain”), a British Top Ten hit released between the debut album and “For Your Pleasure.” This version includes the original album as well as outtakes from AIR Studios, singles, and BBC sessions. It is presented as a hardcover digibook, supplemented by a new essay and previously unpublished photos.
