ROXY MUSIC - Flesh and Blood

DateSaturday, August 25, 2007 at 08:10PM

roxy%20music-flesh.jpgI have this strange love for Roxy Music's Avalon and this is their next closest album to that. While Avalon is a head first plummet into overwhelming smoothness, Flesh and Blood, its immediate precursor, is a fumbling step into that same sort of suave. Avalon is the better album and Flesh and Blood is hit and miss. The covers, "Midnight Hour" and "Eight Miles High," are as uncomfortably lazy as they are comfortably soft. I enjoy the album a lot though. The title track is a quintessential example of Ferry's preoccupation with his lady-loves. The cover is also probably my favourite album cover. Ever.

As an old hard core fan of RM, I totally agree with the article above. I also think the album cover is, not just one of the coolest album covers ever - BUT THE most beautiful and stylish cover of the pop era.
It would certainly be intresesting to learn about the history behind the creation of the Roxy covers. Who the girls were and who braught the ideas etc.. What are they doing now?
