Description

Roxy Music is the groundbreaking self-titled debut album by Roxy Music, originally released in June 1972. The album introduced the band's unique combination of art rock, glam, experimental electronics and avant-garde influences, with Bryan Ferry and Brian Eno at the heart of the band's distinctive sound.

The album features Re-Make/Re-Model, Ladytron, If There Is Something, 2 H.B., Chance Meeting, Sea Breezes and The Bob (Medley). It is regarded as one of the defining debut albums of the 1970s.

Pressing Notes

This is the original 1972 UK pressing on Island Records, catalogue number ILPS 9200. Original UK first pressings are identifiable by the distinctive pink-rim Island "palm tree" labels and the fully laminated gatefold picture sleeve.

Early copies exist with several matrix variations, including A-1U/B-1U, A-1U/B-2U and A-2U/B-3U examples. The exact pressing should therefore be determined from the run-out inscriptions if these are available.
