| Post subject: | Alternate/Unreleased Track from Avalon Sessions? |
Hi All, About 6 months ago, I heard a song on the radio that was unmistakably Roxy Music, but I had never heard before. Sonically, it had the sound and production from Avalon but it was a track I was not familiar with!? You can imagine my interest. At the end of the radio show, the host made reference to it being included in a limited or special release by Roxy Music celebrating either: a) their career, or, b) the anniversary (or similar) of the album Avalon. Does anyone know what "dreamy" track I might have heard? It had the same feel (and perhaps tempo) of the song Avalon, if I remember correctly. Similar instrumentation of the early 80s too - synthesizers at the forefront if I recall right. Any help would be appreciated - thanks for reading! |

It was probably Always Unknowing. http://www.vivaroxymusic.com/songs_22.php J.O'B. |

Hot damn! You were right - I just had a quick listen on youtube. Wow, how could that be unreleased? Thank you for your help! |

It wasn't entirely unreleased: it was the b-side of the Avalon 45 rpm vinyl single and I think it later turned up added to the SACD (21st anniversary) release of the Avalon album. |

I'm glad I know the title of the song now! I am now exploring how to get it in my hands, (and in my ears) and I appreciate the tip about the SACD Avalon disc. Thank you for your help. |

You can buy a 5.1 surround version on EBAY for at least £99 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Roxy-Music-SA ... 866wt_1088 Boys And Girls got the same treatment too. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bryan-Ferry-B ... _127wt_850 I have both of them but don't have the equipment to hear them in 5.1 J.O'B. |

I remember buying the Avalon CD in SACD when it was first released thinking my normal DVD player would automatically play it in 5.1 surround. As technology is my enemy, I called someone I knew who was much younger. He told me that I needed an SACD player. So off I went to buy one. The entry price then for a Sony SACD player was about £400.00. So I bought one. Logic to me, my wife's logic was...£420.00 for a blo*** CD! However, Avalon and Boys and Girls along with parts of Frantic are the best examples I've ever heard in SACD. Always Unknowing is absolutely sublime in this format and I would highly recommend it to anyone. |
