Album includes Frantic, These Foolish Things, Street Life: 20 Greatest Hits, More Than This: The Best Of Bryan Ferry.

I can still remember seeing the band late one night on the BBC with Bryan Ferry standing at the keyboard.Roxy Music’ contained no singles, although ‘Virginia Plain’ was added to later pressings, but is highlighted by ‘Re-Make’/’Re-Model’, ‘Ladytron’ and ‘The Bob (Medley)’. Within a few years, Roxy Music had become phenomenally successful, affording Ferry the opportunity to cut his first solo LP in 1973. The volume will interest Roxy Music and Bryan Ferry fans as well as fans of rock music of the 1970s and 1980s and beyond and comes highly recommended. All books come with a lifetime guarantee No Coa's issued unless the book originally came with one then it will be included with the book. There are many songs written by Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music that are key in my own life and some will always make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up with ‘Angel Eyes’ and ‘Dance Away’ being just two.

A fine UK first edition and first printing hardback - in a fine unclipped dustjacket - All my books are always securely packed with plenty of bubblewrap in professional boxes and promptly dispatched (within 2-3 days) - SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR - Pictures of the book are available upon request.Also included are the evocative lyrics of romantic longing and lost illusions for which Ferry is rightly revered: 'Slave to Love', 'Mother of Pearl', 'More Than This'.

Here he describes his early musical influences, his love for poetry and how that combination led him to start writing his own songs. Also, the pure creative depth of his writing beautifully compliments his standing as one of the most influential and innovative recording artists of all time.The layout of the book makes for extremely pleasurable reading and the content gives a fascinating insight into Ferry’s lyrical style and influences. Ferry did not release another solo album until 1985's Boys and Girls, a sleek, seamless effort that was his first "official" solo release following the Roxy breakup in 1983. Bought as a birthday gift for my dear friend, I must say she was over the moon with it, being an avid fan of Brian Ferry for years. The song features Neil Hubbard and Keith Scott on lead guitar, Dire Straits' Guy Fletcher on keyboards, Omar Hakim on drums, and Tony Levin on bass guitar. He later joined the Gas Board, a soul group featuring bassist Graham Simpson; in 1970, Ferry and Simpson formed Roxy Music.
