Here's unusual piece of Roxy Music history.The front and rear of a cheeky postcard sent from Andy Mackay and Phil Manzanera to Eno in November 1973.
It's dated 17th November 1973 Roxy were on the European leg of the 'Stranded' tour in Gothenburg Sweden, back home 'Street Life' was just about to enter the Top 20 and Eno, who had left Roxy just months earlier was about to unleash the fabulous 'Here Come the Warm Jets'...
I wonder if Bryan Ferry sent him a postcard also ?

Fantastic piece of memorabilia. How did you get your hands on that ?
Has anyone seen a pic of Roxy with David O'List or Peter Paul? That's something I've never seen.

Hipsters,
This is real memorabilia and more than a little hilarious.
Thank God the boys didn't suggest the visual to Bryan as the new album cover — it's bordering on the Savilesque!
Regards,
Windswept

Hi guys and girls - Cal here, just signed up today but am a longtime fan. I loved this postcard and I have nothing as unusual or special, but I found some of my old posters last week and have duplicates of a couple, from the early 70s, I'll post photos on here if any of you are interested :) Cheers .

Welcome to VRMF Brycal! Nice posters :) The NCH one is very topical at the moment. ;)

The Stranded poster is just simply thrilling. I can almost smell the vinyl and the cover of the record.
