ROXY MUSIC/FLESH+BLOOD EGLP 46 (-80) UK

 Been a Roxy Music ever since their debute LP all the way up to "Avalon". Every album with lots of catchy moments and alluring atmosphere. But even for a band held in such high regards I have gradings. And the two albums that doesn't please me all the way are "Manifesto"  https://monolover.blogspot.com/2017/11/roxy-musicmanifesto-polh-001-79-uk.html   and this. Compared to much other music released at this time they rule, yet to my taste doesn't keep up with their other albums. This is maybe just me, but I don't understand the need for disco versions of Byrds "Eight Miles High" or Wilson Pickett's "In The Midnight Hour". The originals are so good by themself, so presenting them to synthesized dance beat only diminish them, at least to my taste.  On the other hand there are two killers here - "Flesh And Blood" and "Oh Yeah" - both among the best they produced. The rest comes rather middle-of-the-road to my ears, but these two saves the album and make it a welcome addition to the collection. Issued and reissued on all possible formats all over the world through the years. First US on ATCO (SD 32-102). There are many CD:s with this released in a number of countries, but I can't find any with bonus tracks to recommend. First UK was 1980 on Polydor (POLH 002). This, marketed by Virgin, showed up later in the eighties, but even if not original it has enough quality to be enjoyed. Top audio with label as shown here in a fully laminated cover with hard glossy lyric/credit inner.  (ÄNÖ*)
