Ferry Manzanera boxes

What are the odds? Two career-spanning box sets featuring solo material by members of Roxy Music - lead singer Bryan Ferry and guitarist Phil Manzanera - will be available this fall. Ferry's Retrospective: Selected Recordings 1973-2023 will be a 5CD overview divided into thematic collections of his work outside of Roxy Music. The first is a new 20-track collection of his best-loved singles, including the U.K. Top 10s "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall," "Let's Stick Together" and "Slave to Love."

Riding the Rock Machine

Today, we're looking at three recent releases from Cherry Red's Grapefruit imprint! Grapefruit is continuing its series of 3-CD clamshell cases with two titles spotlighting the 1970s.  Riding the Rock Machine: British Seventies Classic Rock, available now, is certainly one of the broadest such releases in Grapefruit's series.  Compiler David Wells sets out his mission statement in straightforward fashion: "[Such] is the reductive nature of radio station playlists and Spotify recommendations

Oh You Pretty Things

Oh! You Pretty Things: David Bowie's 1971 song became an anthem for the glam era: "Don't you know you're driving your mothers and fathers insane?  Let me make it plain, you gotta make way for the homo superior..."  Bowie's alien persona - androgynous, dangerous, sexy, and flamboyant - connected with youth and caused a stir among their parents.  The song's title has now been adopted by a new 3-CD box set from Cherry Red's Grapefruit imprint.  Alas, "Oh! You Pretty Things" doesn't appear anywhere

Since the beginning of the pandemic in 2020, indie music retailer Bandcamp has waived their share of revenue for indie artists and labels using their platform to give "the little guys" a leg up in the absence of touring and other moneymaking activities for musicians. The result was more music bought by more fans than any day on the site, a record broken on the first Friday of May. The Second Disc has proudly covered Bandcamp Fridays in June, July, August, September, Octoberand November - plus

Roxy Music packshot

While Roxy Music essentially broke up at the start of this decade - having performed on and off since 1972 - guitarist Phil Manzanera promised a box set covering the band's first album back in 2014. Now, it's one of the latest reissue announcements in a rapidly-filling 2018 release schedule. UMC will release a 3CD/1DVD version of the British art-rockers' debut on February 2. In addition to the original album (presented as mastered by Bob Ludwig in 1999), two discs of unreleased material will

roxy box

Roxy Music, arguably the original New Romantics, are coming back in a big way on the catalogue side of things in 2012, with a new box set and additional surprises to follow. Primarily comprised of singer Brian Ferry, guitarist Phil Manzanera, keyboardist Brian Eno, saxophonist Andy McKay and drummer Paul Thompson (with an almost-consistently shuffling lineup during their active years, including England's greatest fill-in Paul Carrack of Ace, Squeeze and Mike + The Mechanics), Roxy combined the
