Pretty Much All you Need on Roxy Music
4 of 5 people found this review helpful.
It's 1972. I'm on my way home from playing football one Saturday and this song comes on the car radio. What the? Who the? It was Roxy Music - Virginia Plain. I was hooked, and still am.
Here in this item you get nearly 70 tracks over 4 CDs in a luxurious book style case. Loads of photos, including all of the album covers. Tracks cover all albums from 1972 debut Roxy Music to Heart Still Beating from 1990, plus B sides from some singles, so you get a bit of something from all the lines ups and styles.
Brian, Phil and Andy dominate of course, along with Thommo on the the earlier stuff and Eno on the very early stuff, but they always had strong sidesmen holding the groove.
If you're a die hard fan you will probably have all the albums anyway, but if you're more of a casual admirer who would like a good representation of Roxy then this is a good buy. It is a very nice object to own in its own right (which is why I have it), and it's nice to delve into from time to time.
