ROXY MUSIC
‘Self Titled’ Debut Lp
Description: Original 1972 UK Lp Housed In A Gatefold Cover And Complete With Blue 'Island' Inner Sleeve.
Falling Halfway Between Musical Primitivism And Art Rock Ambition, Roxy Music's Eponymous Debut Remains A Startling Redefinition Of Rock's Boundaries. Simultaneously Embracing Kitschy Glamour And Avant-Pop, Roxy Music Shimmers With Seductive Style And Pulsates With Disturbing Synthetic Textures. Although No Musician Demonstrates Much Technical Skill At This Point, They Are Driven By Boundless Imagination -- Brian Eno's Synthesized "Treatments" Exploit Electronic Instruments As Electronics, Instead Of Trying To Shoehorn Them Into Conventional Acoustic Patterns. Similarly, Bryan Ferry Finds That His Vampiric Croon Is At Its Most Effective When It Twists Conventional Melodies, Phil Manzanera's Guitar Is Terse And Unpredictable, While Andy Mackay's Saxophone Subverts Rock & Roll Clichés By Alternating R&B Honking With Atonal Flourishes. But What Makes Roxy Music Such A Confident, Astonishing Debut Is How These Primitive Avant-Garde Tendencies Are Married To Full-Fledged Songs, That Was The Trick That Elevated Roxy Music From An Art School Project To The Most Adventurous Rock Band Of The Early '70s.

Postage & Packaging Details
I do combined shipping so if you win more than one item it will work out a lot cheaper on the postage if i send them in the same mailer.
Auction wins to 'European' and 'Rest of the World' winners will be sent Via 'Signed For' 1st Class Royal mail airmail.
All records are sent securely packaged in purpose made mailers with 2 cardboard stiffeners. I always remove the record from the outer sleeve (to avoid seam split whilst in transit) and then insert the record and sleeve into a brand new polythene sleeve.
