Description
ROXY MUSIC Siren 1975 UK ISLAND 1st PRESS w/BLACK ISLAND INNER MINT
ROXY MUSICSiren
1975 UK ISLAND (ILPS 9344) FIRST PRESSING
ONCE PLAYED, PERFECT SOUND
MATRIX: GM ILPS 9344 A4 / GM ILPS 9344 B4 TONE THOROUGHLY MODERNE
THE RECORD IS HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL MATT COVER “Printed in England by Robor Limited.”
COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL BLACK POLY-LINED ISLAND COMPANY INNER SLEEVE
Abandoning the intoxicating blend of art rock and glam-pop that distinguished Stranded and Country Life, Roxy Music concentrates on Bryan Ferry's suave, charming crooner persona for the elegantly modern Siren.
As the disco-fied opener "Love Is the Drug" makes clear, Roxy embraces dance and unabashed pop on Siren, weaving them into their sleek, arty sound.
It does come at the expense of their artier inclinations, which is part of what distinguished Roxy, but the end result is captivating.
Lacking the consistently amazing songs of its predecessor, Siren has a thematic consistency that works in its favour, and helps elevate its best songs -- "Sentimental Fool," "Both Ends Burning," "Just Another High" -- as well as the album itself into the realms of a classic
