Description
Up for auction is a vinyl copy of Roxy Music's 1973 album, "For Your Pleasure," on Atco Records. Atco Records Cat.# SD 36-134. The final Roxy Music album to feature Brian Eno's synth & tape work. A glam rock masterpiece! Repress.
Cover is in EX condition. Some ringwear, creasing, & shelfwear. Corners are slightly dinged. No seam splitting or staining.
Vinyl is EX/borderline NM condition. Has a couple of very minor and extremely shallow surface markings that keep it just barely below NM condition. No skipping on either of my turntables. Sounds amazing. Still very glossy!!!
The All-Music Guide's 4 1/2 star review (out of 5) has this to say:
On Roxy Music's debut, the tensions between Brian Eno and Bryan Ferry propelled their music to great, unexpected heights, and for most of the group's second album, For Your Pleasure, the band equals, if not surpasses, those expectations. However, there are a handful of moments where those tensions become unbearable, as when Eno wants to move toward texture and Ferry wants to stay in more conventional rock territory; the nine-minute "The Bogus Man" captures such creative tensions perfectly, and it's easy to see why Eno left the group after the album was completed. Still, those differences result in yet another extraordinary record from Roxy Music, one that demonstrates even more clearly than the debut how avant-garde ideas can flourish in a pop setting. This is especially evident in the driving singles "Do the Strand" and "Editions of You," which pulsate with raw energy and jarring melodic structures. Roxy also illuminate the slower numbers, such as the eerie "In Every Dream Home a Heartache," with atonal, shimmering synthesizers, textures that were unexpected and innovative at the time of its release. Similarly, all of For Your Pleasure walks the tightrope between the experimental and the accessible, creating a new vocabulary for rock bands, and one that was exploited heavily in the ensuing decade.
