I votrd Strand, Dreamhome, and Bogus.
But for all three I’d take the Viva! versions over the studio tracks.

"Do the Strand" as a song: music plus lyrics.
"The Bogus Man" as an experience. I love it.
Title track is their masterpiece.

This album has a HELL of a vibe!
I wouldn't even call myself a huge Roxy fan, but...I feel like this is their masterful 40 minutes.
The dark cover perfectly depicts/complements the darkness within. It's just...nocturnal.
Love the sound, love the numbers, love the sequence. I'm a Side One man, but it's all lovely.

I wonder if Al Di Meola borrowed the same panther for his '82 album...  |

50 years eh? Sounds odd saying that. Must be even odder if you're Ferry.

SOME PEOPLE thought Gilbert O'Sullivan and The Spinners were better choices 🙄

Just learned that Patsy from Absolutely Fabulous was largely patterned after (FYP cover model) Amanda Lear!

That makes sense!
I was trying to work out 'For Your Pleasure' on the piano yesterday. It's really all about that strange opening sequence for me - the lyric especially. It's so odd
For your pleasure in our present state
part false, part true, like anything
we present ourselves
the words we use, tumble
all over your shoulder
gravel hard and loose

What do you think it's about?

I don't know that it's about anything. It just looks like an impressionistic (?) lyric, just words used to conjure up a mood or something.

that's the way I take it. they made if for us - for our pleasure. they are jabbing at our pleasure centers. they are still succeeding (in my case)
either that or it's about SEX.
