On Roxy Music's debut, the tensions between Brian Eno and Bryan Ferry propelled their music to great, unexpected heights, and for most of the group's second album, For Your Pleasure, the band equals, if not surpasses, those expectations.
However, there are a handful of moments where those tensions become unbearable, as when Eno wants to move toward texture and Ferry wants to stay in more conventional rock territory; the nine-minute "The Bogus Man" captures such creative tensions perfectly, and it's easy to see why Eno left the group after the album was completed.
But differences result in yet another extraordinary record from Roxy Music, one that demonstrates even more clearly than the debut how avant-garde ideas can flourish in a pop setting.
This is especially evident in the driving singles "Do the Strand" and "Editions of You," which pulsate with raw energy and jarring melodic structures. Roxy also illuminate the slower numbers, such as the eerie "In Every Dream Home a Heartache," with atonal, shimmering synthesizers, textures that were unexpected and innovative at the time of its release. Similarly, all of For Your Pleasure walks the tightrope between the experimental and the accessible, creating a new vocabulary for rock bands, and one that was exploited heavily in the ensuing decade

Track Listing:
Side 1: Do The Strand / Beauty Queen / Strictly Confidential / Editions Of You / In Every Dream Home A Heartache
Side 2: The Bogus Man / Grey Lagoons / For Your Pleasure

LABELS: MINT(-) CLEAN, BRIGHT and UNMARKED with just ONE light spindle trace on Side One and about TWO/THREE on Side Two
VINYL Visual: MINT(-) Being very picky, under a bright light there are some (mega) light sleeve removal type hairlines but these have NO audio consequence
VINYL Audio: SUPERB - CRYSTAL CLEAR, RICH AND WARM SOUND. Possibly the finest audio I have heard for this WONDERFUL LP. On playback at a LOUD volume there is virtual silence on the run-ins and between tracks and there are NO scratches, NO jumps/sticks and NO clicks or pops. SOUNDS SENSATIONAL THROUGHOUT and plays FLAWLESSLY to the highest possible standard. Graded MINT for audio - BEAUTIFUL COPY
SLEEVE: Beautifully produced HEAVYWEIGHT gatefold with the original OBI still firmly in place. Practically NO wear to speak of on either the surfaces, edges or spine where all text is CLEAR and BOLD - MINT(-)
INSERT: There is some very light discolouration around the edges of the white insert but otherwise, practically UNTOUCHED - NEAR MINT
