I've seen on jpc that there is a book to be published on Roxy Music's album Avalon. Written by Simon A. Morrison from Princeton University/USA. It comes in May 2021 and is written in English. Here is the link to German online retailer jpc but you might find it cheaper elsewhere: https://www.jpc.de/jpcng/books/detail/- ... m/10333825 I'm not sure but maybe I'll buy it. |

Here's the Bloomsbury link to the book... https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/roxy-musi ... 501355349/ Morrison is a prominent academic music historian which may help make this a book worth reading; or the tome may prove insufferable if filled with academic pretension and self impressed bloviating. If nothing else it will help keep Roxy/BF in the realm of Bands/Singers that need to be remembered as the 21st century rolls along and the 1970s and 80s fade into a world inhabited by your grandparents - but certainly not by you. I may well buy this book if only to see how much attention is given to PM and AM in regard to the recording and crafting of Avalon. |

Which may not be to my tastes, I fear. We shall see, but at least it keeps the band name remembered as DCJ says. |

Reading between the lines sounds like the author doesn't get / like it. I've always thought it beguiling. |
