Still, the 2019 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees have remained active, with and without Roxy Music. The last time Roxy Music toured was over a decade ago. The reissues arrive ahead of Roxy Music’s North American arena tour, which kicks off in Toronto on Sept.
This year, the group’s eight studio albums - Roxy Music, For Your Pleasure, Stranded, Country Life, Siren, Manifesto, Flesh + Blood and Avalon - have been reissued as special anniversary editions with a new half-speed cut, and revised artwork with lyrics., The Best of Roxy Music was released on vinyl for the first time on Sept. From the group's formation in 1970 to Avalon, its last studio album in 1982, Roxy Music has informed and influenced genres - from experimental prog and glam rock, to new wave and electronic pop - and created an enduring impact. Inspired by film and fashion, painting and photography, Roxy Music’s output is an aural and visual amalgam that blurs the lines between musical styles. This year marks the 50th anniversary of Roxy Music's eponymous debut album. Helmed by GRAMMY-nominated vocalist/songwriter Bryan Ferry along with Phil Manzanera, Andy Mackay and Paul Thompson (with Brian Eno as an early member), the British group is credited with birthing the art rock movement by infusing glam into rock '70s. Roxy Music has always been a few steps ahead, and a few degrees to the side, of many of its contemporaries.
