Product Description

CD Description
With FOR YOUR PLEASURE, the second Roxy Music album, the band began to explore a little more of the "dark side" of the glamorous world that had become their lyrical and musical playground. Even the cover art suggests this division: a preposterously posed women walking a snarling panther is watched by singer Bryan Ferry, decked out in chauffeur's livery and removed from the action, merely observing. Musically, this decay is examined most clearly in "In Every Dream Home a Heartache", a disturbing tale about an inflatable sex doll that,at times, suggests some of the creepier moments from the Doors catalogue--"The End" in particular.
Opening with the spectacular debauch of "Do the Strand", the album pulls no punches--"It burns your blue jeans, you know what I mean" indeed! Together with "Editions of You", it shows the band moving through the similar territory inhabited by "Virginia Plain" (from ROXY MUSIC), quasi-rock shot through with squallingsaxophones. The nine-minute slow burn of "The Bogus Man" displays Paul Thompson's solid drumming to great effect, whilethe rest of the band fleshes things out with a not exactly scary, but decidedly "off" atmosphere. Another classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still a gem, 17 Jun 2002
By Dobester (Istanbul, Turkey) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This album has lost none of its charm, impact or class in the last 25 odd years. It is still morbid, sleazy, rocky, weird bad-dancing music of the highest order, and people my age (i.e., they're more comfortable in pubs than clubs, and own yellow M&S jumpers rather than red S&M bodysuits) should listen to this again and remember when they were alive, and "Do the Strand" might persuade them that they're not dead yet.

Quite.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hear, hear, 16 Jan 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: For Your Pleasure (Audio CD)
I bought this when it was released and I was at secondary school. Beauty Queen still gives me goose bumps and I cannot resist singing along to Editions of You & Grey Lagoons, as much as my children beseach me not to. You can keep Oh Yeah & Dance Away, give me 70's Roxy every time.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Work of Art, 28 Oct 2007
Every once in a while an album comes along so wonderfully unique and bizarre, that it becomes an instant classic - this is one of them.

I came across this amazing record more than a decade after its original release, partly due to my age and also the fact that at the time Roxy Music had deteriorated into a mainstream band putting out slick sounding but largely irrelevant music.

When first listening to "For Your Pleasure" I was blown away and until this very day it hasn't lost any of its original fascination for me - it's rich and psychedelic. I often wondered, what might have become of them, had Brian Eno not left the band.

Anyway, if you're going to buy only one Roxy Music album, you should seriously consider this one.
