Roxy Music - The High Road (1983) - €10,00

No comments  
The High Road is a live EP by the English rock band Roxy Music. Recorded at the Apollo in Glasgow, Scotland on 30 September 1982 during the band's Avalon tour, it features four tracks.
Two of the songs are covers, including Roxy Music's no.1 hit version of John Lennon's "Jealous Guy" and Neil Young's "Like A Hurricane".
A Bryan Ferry solo effort "Can't Let Go" was also included, originally released on his 1978 album The Bride Stripped Bare, with the remaining track being a version of "My Only Love" from Flesh + Blood, with an extended instrumental section.
The EP reached number 26 on the UK Album Charts.

Roxy Music perfected the Avante Garde style of music, which is to say jazzy with more structure, yet still very much improvisational.
 Bryan always pulled in the finest musicians, even though it was a financial burden and less profitable. He had a way of recreating and presenting other's songs: Neal Young's "Like a Hurricane" and John Lennon's "Jealous Guy" just two examples, and yet have his own stellar songs that are hard to replicate.
 Bryan also brought a unique kind of sexuality to the stage. He developed the persona of the jaded European playboy at a disco with the casual attitude, sweat from dancing, squinted eyes, falling greasy hair, full body rhythmic movements, and chic clothing that he would slowly "strip off" during the performance.
