Very OK with the first two albums. Still warming to the next few. I’d probably buy any Island label issues, LP or singles, that I do not already have. Would really like to get an “Editions Of You” Warner Brothers US 45 – but is it just the B-side of “Do The Strand” or a different 45? Nice to see the double DVD set issued in the US. Very amused to get the SACD for “Avalon”, with it’s bonus track. Good sound, I must say – but not my favorite Roxy Music album, by a long shot. The Japanese little album cover CD’s are nice, aren’t they? I think I will always like the Phil Manzanera solo albums more than any RM titles…

I liked Roxy Music right up until after "Flesh and Blood" (so, 1979 or thereabouts). Their debut was one of the first records I ever bought with my own money (very likely because of the cover).
For some reason I've never explored Phil's solo work, I should correct that. Eno, obviously, I am a huge fan of. Bryan, OTOH, is kind of hit-and-miss with me, though I have an affection for his afectations. :)
