I didn't have the money and figured no one would buy it so I went back a few days later and it was gone. It had some great pictures as well. Ferry was never better looking than he was in 1985 (Ladies??). Some of the "sheet music" that comes out is inacurate, and interpreted by some piano player who has never heard the song before. He learns it in 20 minutes and then goes on to the next song in the stack. Sounds as if this is not the case with "Off The Record"? I would love to see the score for "Do The Strand", though I don't know if anyone could put what Eno was doing on paper.

He went out of his way (actually, I think he felt sorry for me because he won the auction) and taped (audio)alot of roxy/ferry oddities that I did not have and sent them to me. Along with this package was a video tape of a ferry/roxy video collection and the first song was the above mentioned. It is a really sensual video and also very much like the rest with the way that he surrounds himself with beautiful women. It is also very colorful almost to the point of being in contrast to the haunting lyrics.
