Between 1972 and their first break-up in 1976 (and then again
following their 1979 reunion), Roxy Music were arguably the most
exciting, ambitious and vivacious bans in the land - a core four
piece of vocalist Bryan Ferry, guitarist Phil Manzanera, horn
player Andy Mackay and drummer Phil Thompson (but also featuring,
at different times, Brian Eno and Eddie Jobson) who emerged during
1972's long, hot summer of glam rock, but who could never be
readily pigeonholed. The greatest records they made became, in
turn, some of the greatest records of the age. 'Virginia Plain,'
'Pyjamarama,' 'Street Life,' 'All I Want Is You,' 'Love is the
Drug,' 'Trash' and 'Dance Away' were the hits, but even the deepest
cuts on the band's first five albums became anthems for a
generation. Roxy were no ordinary band in other ways, too, as
Ferry, Manzanera, Mackay and Eno all embarked upon solo careers -
which, between them, were responsible for a complex catalogue of
songs that stretches from the ballads of the 1930s to the
electronica of the distant future, from Wagner's Valkyries to David
Bowie's Low. This book encompasses all of that, documenting the
histories of both band and band members, while analysing and
detailing every album and single released by the Roxy family
throughout the decade.
