Roxy Music -
Manifesto (Remastered)
£5.49
Returning to action after four years of solo projects, Roxy Music redefined its sound & agenda on Manifesto. More than ever, Roxy sounds like Bryan Ferry's backing b&, as the group strips away its art rock influences, edits out the instrumental interludes in favor of concise pop songs, & adds layers of stylish disco rhythms. Although the songwriting is distressingly inconsistent, there are a number of wonderful moments on the record, particularly in the sighing " Angel Eyes" & the heartbr ...

Roxy Music - Roxy
Music (Remastered)
£5.49
Falling halfway between musical primitivism & art rock ambition, Roxy Music's eponymous debut remains a startling redefinition of rock's boundaries. Simultaneously embracing kitschy glamour & avant-pop, Roxy Music shimmers with seductive style & pulsates with disturbing synthetic textures. Although no musician demonstrates much technical skill at this point, they are driven by boundless imagination -- Brian Eno's synthesized "treatments" exploit electronic instruments as electronics, inste ...

Roxy Music -
Siren (Remastered)
£5.99
Abandoning the intoxicating blend of art rock & glam-pop that distinguished Stranded & Country Life, Roxy Music concentrates on Bryan Ferry's suave, charming crooner persona for the elegantly modern Siren. As the disco-fied opener " Love Is the Drug" makes clear, Roxy embraces dance & unabashed pop on Siren, weaving them into their sleek, arty sound. It does come at the expense of their artier inclinations, which is part of what distinguished Roxy, but the end result is captivating. Lacking ...

Roxy Music -
Stranded (Remastered)
£5.49
Without Brian Eno, Roxy Music immediately became less experimental, yet it remained adventurous, as Stranded illustrates. Under the direction of Bryan Ferry, Roxy moved toward relatively straightforward territory, adding greater layers of piano & heavy guitars. Even without the washes of Eno's synthesizers, Roxy's music remains unsettling on occasion, yet in this new incarnation, they favor more measured material, whether it's the reflective "A Song for Europe" or the shifting textures of " Psa ...

Roy Orbison - Black &
White Night/ Crying
£8.99
This is a truly, bizarre two-fer package that combines Roy Orbison's early hit album Crying with the soundtrack to the TV Special Black & White Night. The only conceivable reason is, perhaps, that on the latter recording, Orbison re-recorded the title track & " Candy Man." They were included on the special as a career-spanning look at his collection of smashes played by an all-star cast of musicians including Elvis Costello, Bruce Springsteen, & k.d. lang. Weird.

Roy Wood - Singles
£14.49
If there's anything wrong with Repertoire's Singles A's & B's, it's that Wizzard peaked early, albeit brilliantly, & their B-sides never capitalized on their dazzling, Spector/ Beach Boys-tinted rock & roll. It's no coincidence that those B-sides were written by everybody else in the band but Wood, & that most of those were instrumentals. Some are amusing (the mild ELO send-up " Bend Over Beethoven"), some are interesting (" Rob Roy's Nightmare"), but they're all disposable, especially when com ...

Roy Orbison - Black & White Night

In 1987, Roy Orbison was on the upswing of one of the most amazing comebacks of all time. His re-recorded version of his classic 'In Dreams' had appeared in David Lynch's film Blue Velvet and he was about to record both with The Traveling Wilburys and his swansong album Mystery Girl. To capture this resurgence, producer T Bone Burnett put together an all-star backing band made up of none other than the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello, Bonnie Raitt, K.D. Lang, Jackson Browne and Tom Wa
