Without Brian Eno, Roxy Music immediately became less experimental, yet remained adventurous, as Stranded illustrates.
Under the direction of Bryan Ferry, Roxy moved toward relatively straightforward territory, adding greater layers of piano and heavy guitars. Even without the washes of Eno's synthesisers, Roxy's music remains unsettling on occasion, yet in this new incarnation, they favour more measured material, whether it's the reflective "A Song for Europe" or the shifting textures of "Psalm."
Even the rockers, such as the surging "Street Life" and the segmented "Mother of Pearl," are distinguished by subtle songwriting that emphasises both Ferry's tortured glamour and Roxy's increasingly impressive grasp of sonic detail

Clean, unmarked labels - one spindle trace on one side, none on the other - spindle hole still tight

Both surfaces are unmarked and shine like-new
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
My play-check at volume found nothing to fault - plays beautifully throughout with a deep, rich and warm sound - exceptionally clean
SLEEVE: NEAR MINT
Crisp, sharp gatefold - some paper loss on the back edge which the laminate does not cover (from new) - pretty much as it was printed back in 1973
