Japanese vinyl pressings are highly sought after by audiophiles and collectors, due to their premium sound quality and beautifully presented packaging. The sonic quality of Japanese records is regarded as the best in the world. No wonder all the original Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab records were pressed in Japan! The covers are printed on better quality heavy stock paper too. Near Mint Condition Japanese pressings are becoming scarcer ~ and therefore more collectable and valuable every year.

Roxy Music always provided high quality, seductive music, but it is the legendary 'For Your Pleasure' that is still regarded as their finest achievement! Formed in 1971, Roxy Music developed their unique art rock sound, inspired by fashion, glamour, cinema, pop art, and the avant-garde. With Bryan Ferry's sophisticated crooning, Brian Eno's electronic genius, Phil Manzanera's original guitar work and Andy MacKay's swirling sax sounds, the band certainly heralded a very talented line-up. Roxy Music had already created a sensation in Britain with their self-titled debut LP, but with their 1973 sophomore album 'For Your Pleasure', the band perfected their sound on eight extraordinary songs. "In Every Dream Home, A Heartache" is a brilliantly constructed, eerie number about a fellow's relationship with a blow-up doll, while the hit single "Do The Strand" is a stomping piece of chic rock 'n' roll. The superb tracks "The Bogus Man" and "For Your Pleasure" have an alien quality, with a special, seductive factor to soothe the intensity. The driving "Editions Of You" and sleek, melodic "Beauty Queen" are equally appealing. Roxy Music always provided high quality, appealing music, but it is the legendary 'For Your Pleasure' that is still regarded as their finest achievement. Highly recommended!
