Controversial Simon! However, everyone's entitled to their own opinions. I like about 1/2 this album and intensely dislike the other 1/2! What is it that makes it second best for you? For me, the insipid version of Midnight Hour, the unfathomable inclusion of 8 miles high and the truly dreadfully wet My only love (not too mention the blatantly rubbish Rain rain rain) were too much, despite some other great tracks- Over you in particular. The shock that BF was willing to put cover versions on Roxy albums was so great that I considered it an act of sacrilege. The whole album had an American, commercial feel that was disappointing for me. It made me realise how good Siren (an album I was initially a little disappointed with) was. As for the cover, well, it was the least inspired effort from BF I had seen to date. Sorry, it just doesn't do it for me. But glad for you that you've come out about it after all this time- it must be a relief. My second favourite is RM. So there. mactheaxe - -----Original Message----- From: owner-avalon@smoe.org [mailto:owner-avalon@smoe.org] On Behalf Of Simon Galloway Sent: 27 July 2016 15:12 To: Avalon Subject: [AVALON] My second favourite Roxy Music album is...

Two years on from Avonmore's escape, next month sees the release of a companion remix alum http://bit.ly/2aeEHbN I'm unclear whether these tracks have been liberated from the 20 remixes (seriously) previously seen on the very affordable Avonmore Special Edition or whether this is a whole new miasma. Naturally, none of the other announced products have yet appeared. There's also another new Avonmore release which just as sugary abut might me slightly more affordable: http://bit.ly/2a1mcUA Chris ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ End of avalon-digest V15 #1082 ****************************** ======================================================================== For further info, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: info avalon-digest
