Just doing a wee comparison between my original MCA copy and the recent remastered release
A band's debut album is quite often their best, as it is a showcase for their work. Sadly in this case, I found Roxy's first offering disappointing, and only really like "Virginia Plain".Quote:

Better, much better. :)Quote:

Personally I think Ray of Light is the best of all Madonna's studio albums. Having William Orbit at the controls didn't hurt. He also produced most of her next album "Music", but by then Orbit's production style was everywhere and Madonna, looking for something more distinctive ditched it all and went instead with some French dude.Quote:

Totally agree. And Virginia Plain wasn't even on the original vinyl release, not UK pressings anyway. This debut is the only Roxy album I don't have on vinyl, and I'm in no hurry to remedy that... I think "For Your Pleasure" was a massive improvement, and is my favourite of all of Roxy's catalogue. Followed by "Stranded" (next one on) and "Avalon".Quote:

I also really like this album.
Agree, I'm fond of all Roxy's output (apart from their first offering ;) ).
I’ve played my copy about six times in the last forty years. I taped it when I first bought it.Quote:

Yeah, great albumQuote:

Only listened to the tape so I’d keep the record in a fairly mint condition. And more convenient.Quote:

The second is a Nagra IV-S, a portable machine and only used to play back tapes I made on the Ferrograph.
The two cassette machines are a Nakamichi BX-2 and a BX-200. Again I made many recordings, mostly off the radio, but don't listen to them any more. :rolleyes:
Tibetan Bells III
On CD, and listened to on headphones (as it would have driven my partner "round the bend" had I played it via the speakers!).
Tibetan Bells III iI was wondering if there is such an albumQuote:
