"For Your Pleasure" by Roxy Music (1973)
CLASSIC ALBUM OF THE WEEK
Roxy Music  "For Your Pleasure"  1973 (UK)
This week's classic album is the second release by the hard-to-classify group that launched the careers of Bryan Ferry, Brian Eno and Phil Manzanera. Sort of glam, in a primitive pop-art neo-greaser from Mars sort of way, Roxy is just one of those things that could only have happened in the 1970's. Featuring classic cuts like "The Strand" and "In Every Dream Home A Heartache" as well as the 9-minute clodfunk synth squiggling of "The Bogus Man", this was the last album Eno recorded with the group before launching his brilliant solo career. Manzanera left not long afterwards, and Ferry kept versions of the group going through the 1980's while also launching his own solo career on the side.
