131 Songs - Number 32

Number 32 - Virginia Plain by Roxy Music

There was one band that Mick and Terry (see Number 31) did encourage me to listen to and that was Roxy Music. If there is one record that reminds me of the early 70's in Peterborough it is this. Brian Ferry was fortunate ( or very clever) with his choices for the original line up. Andy Mackay, Brian Eno, Phil Manzarena and Paul Thomson made the instrumental backing what it was. Absolutely brilliant. And my first concert for years took us to see them when they visited the town around 1975. By this time Brian Eno had left, so I missed Roxy at it's best.
