Bryan Ferry: Retrospective: Selected Recordings 1973-2023 (2LP)

"Retrospective: Selected Recordings 1973-2023" offers the first comprehensive career retrospective to fully explore the depth and breadth of Bryan Ferry as a solo artist. It brings together for the first time his classic output with Island Records, Polydor, Virgin/E.G. and BMG and brings the story up to date, spanning a period of over 50 years. This compilation showcases his skill as a writer of original classics and reflects his status as the best interpreter of other writers' material. It also highlights Bryan Ferry's sonic versatility as a solo artist - from rock'n'roll to sophisticated adult pop; from R&B and dance grooves to piano ballads; from electronica to ambient; from jazz to country, folk, blues and avant-garde new wave. The focus is on the unique sound and style of Bryan Ferry, an artist who has remained relevant, interesting and unmistakably himself. "Retrospective: Selected Recordings 1973-2023" is presented in a series of products co-curated and carefully art directed by Bryan Ferry. It features a selection of stunning photographs from across his career, taken by some of the rock paradigm's most celebrated photographers, including Anton Corbijn, Mick Rock, Pennie Smith and Brian Aris. The CD and double LP formats provide the perfect introduction for people curious about Bryan Ferry's music, and offer a broader perspective for those familiar with it. In addition, the 5-CD super-deluxe box set offers the deepest insight into Bryan's career ever, including rarities, unreleased recordings and a 100-page book with extensive liner notes and much more exquisite photography.
