Roxy Music: Bryan Ferry (vocals, piano); Phil Manzanera (guitar); Andrew Mackay (oboe, saxophone); Eno (keyboards, synthesizer, tapes); Graham Simpson (bass); Paul Thompson (drums).
Recorded at Command Studios, London, England in March 1972.
Digitally remastered by Bob Ludwig (Gateway Studios, Portland, Maine).
The self-titled first Roxy Music album opens with what seems to be a ambient recording from a cafe--glasses clinking, low talking, and so on. It sets up a mood of casual elegance that the band explored throughout their career, from full-on glamour all the way through decadence. The first song, "Re-Make/Re-Model" becomes, after the cafe introduction, a punchy rock track defined by an insistent rhythm section, Andrew Mackay's saxophone playing, and Bryan Ferry's unmistakable voice, a kind of cultured warble (the song's "chorus," by the way, is "CPL 593H," the license plate number of a car).
