They were probably recorded during Roxy Music's British tour of 1974, which was among the tours that resulted in the art rockers' superb live album Viva!. "Superb" is also a word that describes the live portion of Absinthe Makes the Heart Grow Fondle -- the sound quality is first-rate (by '70s standards), and performances of "Virginia Plain," "Do the Strand," "Out of the Blue," "If It Takes All Night," and "Mother of Pearl" are as forceful as they are inspired. It's interesting to hear how gritty and tough Ferry and his colleagues sound on these 1974 performances; as arty as these songs are, the band definitely rocks hard without apology. Meanwhile, "Pyjamarama" and "Re-make/Re-model" are among the studio outtakes, which are interesting if you're a seasoned Roxy Music fan but wouldn't be meaningful to more casual listeners." (NME 1979) ### The Vinyl is described as between VG+ & Excellent, & played to Excellent or better during todays play-testing... it also played with average background & no skips or stops. Track B6 Pyjamerama II is one of the two outtakes referred to earlier in my opening discourse. This has some strong distortion from whatever effects are being employed by the boys... in its opening there are two instances lasting barely a fraction of a second each, where I can't work out whether there are two disrupted chords for added abstract effect, or whether these are two tiny skips... no scratches are there so probably the former is correct. Several spindle marks to both labels. There are a reasonable number of fine hairlines & sleeve marks to both sides of the record. There are a couple of barely visible bumps to side 2 vinyl, towards the end. These are manufacturing flaws that in & of themselves, have no effect on the quality of the music sound play-back. The Vinyl still has a shiny lustre. The Cover is described as VG. It is made from hard card with the Roxy Music sheet above it. Tape residue to edges with some repairs to spine split. bottom edge seam split also repaired. There is some visible edge/spine & corner-wear. There are cracks to spine & edges with associated wrinkles. There is some minor ring wear to front & verso. There are some colour losses to edges & spine. There are some areas of foxing to front & verso. Some staining to front & back. Please see attached photos...
