ALBUMS THAT SHOULD EXIST : Roxy Music BBC Sessions 72-73

Roxy Music - BBC Sessions, Volume 3: 1972-1973

Here's a third album of Roxy Music performing for the BBC. This is an album of studio sessions.

The first two songs are from a July 1972 studio session. The first song, "Virginia Plain," made it onto a super deluxe edition of the band's debut album, "Roxy Music." But the second song, "If There Is Something," remains unreleased. It's quite a long song, about 12 and a half minutes long.

All the remaining songs are unreleased. "For Your Pleasure" is from the BBC TV show "Full House." The next three are from a March 1973 studio session. The final song, "In Every Dream Home a Heartache," was performed on the "Old Grey Whistle Test" BBC TV show.

Unfortunately, it seems Roxy Music stopped doing BBC studio sessions or TV appearances after this. However, they still did some BBC concerts much later, which I plan on posting here.

This album is 36 minutes long.

By this time Brian Eno had left to go on to bigger and better things and Ferry was slotted into his fifties wobbly voiced crooner schtick that not everyone was taken with. The excellent musicians particularly Manzanera and Mackay were to do solo work but never appreciated to join forces so strongly ever after this. Shame but hey, watcha gonna do!
