Ultimate Collection

Reciew for the SACD:There have been so many compilations of Roxy Music and Bryan Ferry you could be forgiven for over looking this recently reissued SACD THINKING "not another one!" This one is really, really good with a nice cross selection of Ferry and Roxy's hits. It's also well mastered by Rhett Davies co-producer of many later Roxy and Ferry solo albums.What makes this set essential is the inclusion of a previously unissued (except for the CD edition of this album) cover song recorded for "The Bride Stripped Bare", a 1988 remix of "Let's Stick Together" and the song that Ferry wrote (with Nile Rodgers) for the film "The Fly" ("Help Me").The booklet includes the lyrics for each song but there aren't any reissue notes about this compilation.The disc is a dual layered SACD so it can be played on both a CD player and SACD player. The SACD layer is not a multi-channel remix but the original stereo mix. The good news is that it sounds exceptional to my ears.Recommended.

Loved Roxy Music and even saw them almost 30 years ago. Must admit I bought this for his version of the IN Crowd! Over all it is a disc worth having.

great deal and shipped fast and safe - thanks

This definately isn't the essential Roxy Music/Bryan Ferry compilation since it's missing some key songs such as More Than This and Remake/Remodel. It does include Love Is The Drug, Avalon, and Slave To Love which are really great songs. The main reason to purchase this though is for the long lost and forgotten Bryan Ferry tune "Help Me". It was originally the theme song to the 1986 movie 'The Fly'. If you like this cd make sure you check out Bryan Ferry's 1987 album "Bete Noire".
