{"product_id":"roxy-music-for-your-pleasure","title":"Roxy Music - For Your Pleasure","description":"\u003cp\u003eA UK Top 5 album upon original release, For Your Pleasure is the second studio album by Roxy Music. Commercially even more successful than their debut album, it cemented Roxy's position as one of the UK’s most inventive rock bands and is widely seen as both their definitive album and as one of the greatest art-rock\/glam-rock albums of all time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally released on 23 March 1973 by Island Records, the album expands on the experimental nature of their self-titled debut, featuring more elaborate production and experimentation. It was their last album to feature synthesiser player Brian Eno.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBryan Ferry has curated both the music and visual content for this reissue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcross multiple formats this reissue combines the original album with previously unheard 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 UK Top Ten hit issued between the debut album and For Your Pleasure. The superdeluxe includes previously unheard home recordings from Bryan Ferry, band rehearsals \u0026amp; studio outtakes, live sessions, singles \u0026amp; instrumentals and TV \u0026amp; 14 live performances from the BBC and German + Swiss TV. All packages feature an essay and unseen photos with the superdeluxe book as the ultimate compendium on the album featuring a 7000-word essay by Damien Love on the making of the album (based on new interviews with band members, producers and the team behind the artwork), a 2500-word essay by Michael Bracewell on the significance of the album and an essay from Nick de Ville on Roxy’s visual world. It also includes many rare and unpublished photographs, original marketing materials (including press materials from original Roxy publicist Simon Puxley), lyrics and work-in-progress lyric notes by Bryan Ferry, tape scans, tour dates, album chronology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“The pinnacle of English art rock\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNME\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAcclaim for the original album\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“A dazzling, if deliberately disorienting, follow-up…”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRolling Stone\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“A staggeringly fine piece of work, easily outstripping the first album.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNME\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Pushes glam rock into genuinely avant-garde territory … Roxy’s best album.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePitchfork\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Arguably their most adventurous and uncompromising album.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAllMusic\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"(The only) truly great British album\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMorrissey\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest of accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e500 Greatest Albums of All Time - \u003cstrong\u003eNME + Rolling Stone\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTop 100 Albums of the 1970s - \u003cstrong\u003ePitchfork\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e100 Greatest British Albums Ever - \u003cstrong\u003eQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(One of the) 10 glam rock albums you should definitely own - \u003cstrong\u003eClassic Rock\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e3CD+1DVD Super Deluxe\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes the original album, singles and instrumentals; unheard songwriting demos, rehearsals and live sessions; TV and live performances from 1972–1973; plus a 116-page book with new essays and rare photography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e2CD Deluxe\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original album plus AIR Studios outtakes, singles and BBC sessions, presented in a hardcover digibook with a new essay and unseen images.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e2LP Black Vinyl\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original album plus AIR Studios outtakes on 140g black vinyl in a gatefold sleeve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBryan Ferry – vocals and keyboards (and guitar on demos)\u003cbr\u003eAndy Mackay – Oboe and saxophone\u003cbr\u003eBrian Eno – Synthesiser and tapes\u003cbr\u003ePaul Thompson – Drums\u003cbr\u003ePhil Manzanera – Guitar\u003cbr\u003eJohn Porter – Bass\u003cbr\u003eGraham Simpson – Bass (Grey Lagoons 1971 demo)\u003cbr\u003eDexter Lloyd – Drums (Grey Lagoons 1971 demo)\u003cbr\u003eRoger Bunn – Guitar (Grey Lagoons 1971 demo)\u003cbr\u003eRik Kenton – Bass (Grey Lagoons Paris Theatre 1972, For Your Pleasure Peel sessions 1972\u003cbr\u003eProducers - Chris Thomas \u0026amp; Roxy Music\u003cbr\u003eEngineers – John Middleton and John Punter\u003cbr\u003eAdditional engineering – Bill Price, Steve Nye, Denny Bridges\u003cbr\u003eAdditional production – John Anthony\u003cbr\u003eCompiled by Rhett Davies, Bryan Ferry, James Garzke, Simon Willey and Matthew Miller at Studio One\u003cbr\u003eEssays by Damien Love, Nick de Ville \u0026amp; Michael Bracewell\u003cbr\u003e2026 instrumentals mixed by Bob Clearmountain with Rhett Davies at Mix This, assistant mix engineer Ira Becker\u003cbr\u003eDisc one mastered by Bob Ludwig at Gateway mastering\u003cbr\u003eDisc two and three mastered by John Webber at Air Studios\u003cbr\u003ePhotography by Brian Cooke, Ian Dickson, Gijsbert Hanekroot, Alan Messer, Jeffrey Meyer, Michael Ochs, Terry O'Neill, Michael Putland, Tony Sapiano, Terrence Sims, Karl Stoecker, Claude Vanheye, Barrie Wentzell\u003cbr\u003eThanks\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UMR\/Virgin","offers":[{"title":"Black Vinyl 2LP","offer_id":58432830472456,"sku":"REL-07063","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/6723\/1240\/files\/UNI_20260813_1400_130515_494_p_ROXY-MUSIC_FYP_DeluxeBook_Exploded-Packshot1_001.jpg?v=1786639050","url":"https:\/\/www.relevantrecordcafe.co.uk\/products\/roxy-music-for-your-pleasure","provider":"Relevant Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
