Platinum Collection-Brian Ferry
It spans the whole career of Roxy Music and Brian Ferry until the mid 90's. This collection is farily expensive if you buy it new, but I got it used. If you like their music, you will like this collection. The one glaring omission was "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes"-one of Brian's best covers.


Ferry cross the Mersey
I got turned on to Ferry from the Ridley Scott film Legend featuring Is your love strong Enough? at the end of the film. Just a really fine tri disk compilation of his good fast/slow work. Just love his pop sensibilities and instrument timing on his work. Highly recommended for lite fans and more. 5 stars. .


Platinum Review
However, it is missing "Everytime You Go Away". Very good introduction to Bryan Ferry.


A Superb and Classic Collection of Romantic Rock Anthems
They have always been a band that people can relate to. I was a fan of Roxy Music since I first heard Avalon and More Than This. Roxy Music is a Progressive Rock band that wore drag, with Brian Eno beginning in this Band as its Keyboardist, and the fact that with Sax and great Rock and Roll guitar as well as drum and bass, that makes Roxy Music into a true anthem band of British Rock fron the 1970s.
Bryan Ferry is a great Crooner, and he even in drag is a Glam Rock Sinatra, when David Bowie has no one ever who can stand at his level from before or after, as a performer, as they BROKE THE MOLD when he was created as a performer. Bryan and Roxy Music are definatly Bowie types in performing, with the use of Keyboards and Moorg Synth sounds as well as Sax and Rock Guitar, giving them such a classic style of the time that could rival Bowie, but of course no one could top Bowie.
My favorate songs from the time from 1972 to 1975 are Street Life and Pajamarama as well as Love is The Drug plus Virginia Plain and Both Ends Burning from Roxy itself as a Band, when Smoke Gets in Your Eyes and The In Crowd by Bryan solo are amazing, but his version of Dylan's Hard Rains Gonna Fall is the top favorate for me from that period for Bryan, when my least favorate from that era in anything is Do The Strand. Lets Stick Together was released in 1975, and I totally recomend the whole album and not just the selections on this Collection. In dealing with 1975 to 1985 I recomend Dance Away and Angel Eyes as well as Sign of the Times from Bryan's Bride Stripped Bare album. Avalon is a true classic but Flesh + Blood has songs that are not too clamorous for me, so the songs from that album on the Collection exept Same old Sceene I do not recomend. Avalon and Boys and Girls are classics in full status, while Is Your Love Strong Enough is a song that should have been on Boys and Girls reissued or Bete Noire which was as amazing.
In closing this is a true classic in a Collection. .

Imagine just coming from a really fabulous party, then diving into a pool of the smoothest, velvety chocolate. . enough said.
