" It's beautiful and weird. It's Roxy Music defined."

A lot of the experimental and visionary elements of Roxy Music were diminished when Brian Eno departed after the tour supporting "For Your Pleasure" in 1973.  It was still kind of there for "Stranded" but was sorely lacking by the time "Country Life" came along.  The glam rock element had become the dominant theme.  And that certainly didn't make Island Records mad since it sold a lot more records than experimental creativity ever did. 

The Amanda Lear jacket cover for "For Your Pleasure" is classic, along with the music.

I stopped buying Roxy Music albums after "Stranded".

Brian - shrimping was superb.....home now....
