Excellent album and excellent recording quality. Through my Maggie 1.7i's and SVS PB-1000 Pro subs, the performance is right here in my room and the sound is completely divorced from the speakers and subs. The front half of the room is completely gone as well.

Superb album. I have all of their studio albums, but this is the only one I don't have on vinyl. But the CD version is just fine imo, so no rush :)Quote:

Disagree, Roxy Music's debut album was IMO their worst; the only good track on it is 'Virginia Plain'. Unusually for any pop group, their following titles were better, much better.Quote:

We will have to agree to disagree. I have all their albums (up to and including 'Avalon'), and like the debut album the least. But I do agree about 'For Your Pleasure'.Quote:

I know of people who previously didn't like Roxy Music, but absolutely love 'Avalon'. :scratch:Quote:

Avalon is easily my favourite of all the albums that followed "Stranded".Quote:

Very good summer too, as Silver Machine, All The Young Dudes, School's Out and Metal Guru were all keeping it company in the charts iirc.

Ey up, it's the Soundgarden with King Animal. £50 on Amazon now, only about 22 quid when I got it. Hopefully I'll get to peg it and bequeath it to Mrs. P before record values drop :)
