I'm very confused by all the statements lately.
It seems that the tracks aren't up to the Roxy standard but will be released by Ferry instead!
Have I/we just been insulted?
That would depend on how you view it. To my mind it seems some of the tracks were intended for a Ferry album originally and maybe BF thinks that Roxy songs should begin and end as Roxy songs and that the 9th Roxy Music album deserves that.
I don't think he thinks the material is not good enough for release maybe it just doesn't sound like Roxy and more like his own material.
I have read quotes by fans that Olympia is mostly old recordings that have been lying around for years but in fact form the 10 song album only You Can Dance and Alphaville come from the mid 90's Alphaville sessions. The other 8 songs are all new titles to my knowledge.
