Hipsters,
One of the many things I love about 'Roxy's Repository' is the obvious excitement and enthusiasm that the journalists had for music.
What an age of phenomenal creativity this was - I wouldn't have missed it for the world. Stuff Simon Cowell with his waxed chest, dodgy barnet and Black toilet paper!
salutations,
Windswept.

“Avonmore is a masterclass in sleek effortless control … His tortures here are entirely sensual affairs”
4* The Independent, Album of the Week

“A winning formula … his romantic disconnection and crepuscular charm is undimmed”
4* The Guardian

“Ferry at his decadent best”
The Times

"Stuff Simon Cowell with his waxed chest, dodgy barnet and Black toilet paper!"
5* Monsieur Windswept:VivaRoxyMusic Forum

Surely a quote to be used in future promotion of any Roxy/Ferry albums!! :lol:

Thank you for the kind quotes about the articles I have posted so far. I am trying my best to sort through them and post in chronological order. I have a lot scanned and sorted already but then I come across something that is still in a box so there maybe something pop up in a more random order.

Great stuff, Roxy, thanks for sharing. I am amused by the Crimson comparisons, especially about "If There Is Something". I have been a Crimhead for more than 40 years and despite the connections between the bands both through management and the appearances of certain members of each band in the other's solo projects, I have never heard musical similarities. I got into Roxy through the KC connections, but saw Roxy as vastly different, sharing with Crimson perhaps only a passing reference to the 20th Century Avant Garde. But to say ITIS has "too much Crimson-quoting" is A perspective I have never considered. Thanks for giving me something to ponder! :ugeek:

The following three all come from the Melody Maker, 24th June 1972

PS, sometimes trying to scan one of these old articles is a bit of a problem in an A4 scanner! When it just fits and no more but needs a tiny adjustment to get the last line in.

The photograph in the first one is not missing anything vital, it stops just after the microphone stand.

My apologies for the unscheduled break in adding articles to this thread. Spare time has been pretty scarce since the Avonmore Tour shows and other family events so I hope to get back on track.
