The band’s debut album, released in 1972. Frontman Bryan Ferry’s lyrical evocations of romance and glamour, references to pop art, and allusions to both old Hollywood and futuristic science fiction were showcased in an eclectic and unique musical soundscape forever immortalized in the 1950s-style album cover, one of the most iconic record covers of the 1970s. The album would go on to become one of the most pioneering and important debut albums of all time. For this 50th anniversary edition, the album was given the Half Speed treatment by Miles Showell at London’s Abbey Road Studios. To reflect the improved audio, the album cover has been similarly revised with lyrics and a Deluxe gloss finish. This isn’t just a record, it’s a work of modern art. This limited, remastered edition includes Japanese translations of the lyrics.
