Fin (Roxyrama bass player) and I were discussing the reported view of Andy Mackay, that he was dissatisfied with the way the Roxy Music catalogue had been packaged through the years - assumedly the greatest hits packages like Street Life and the Ultimate Collection that made it appear that Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music were one and the same.

This lead me to wonder what a Roxy Music Greatest Hits could have looked like in 1985 if solo artists works was included fairly etc.

At the moment I have completed a 20 track compilation that roughly moves forwards chronologically and represents one track per parent album. As much as I wanted to include Lorelei by the Explorers I have reasoned that including other vocalists would have been "blocked" by Bryan and ended up with a 72-82 collection.
