Roxy Music - Always Unknowing

B-side to the 1982 'Avalon' single.

Thank you Michael Kulikowski for your book on Roxy Music and I found this rare

[nathanfrodo]

Why didn’t wasn’t this included as a bonus track when they remastered Avalon? Such a missed opportunity! So atmospheric and sexy!

[navagodinez]

I was today's old when I found out this gorgeousness existed!

[steelyman]

Okay. I've looped it a few hundred times. It really is pure bliss. Avalon is somehow transcendental ~ in a world of its own. They had to stop after that. There was no more room for improvement! (-:

I usually don´t like B-Sides, but Roxy Music has the best ones.

First time I ever heard this song was in 5.1 SACD. It literally lifted me away into another dimension. It just needs to be about 3 hours longer

[sonnyblack]

I never want this song to end.Thanks for posting.

[steelyman]

I've been a huge fan for decades and have never heard this one before. Thank you for uploading it. Made my night! The guitar work on this ~ amazing! But one thing Bryan Ferry always has done the best (along with Brian Eno) ~ the atmospherics. Masterful.

[helenesteinberg]

Thanks for the post! LOVE this just mulling over it!

[stevesmith]

I felt lucky back in the day to have the record.

How this song never made it to be the last track on Avalon is a mystery...a b side to the single is a shame ..it would have bookended the Lp beautifully..

[cinderbearica]

Thank you for sharing this. My Avalon c.d. says it contains this song but it doesn't play it. Unless it's one of those hidden tracks you have to have a player that will let the end run on to find it. I was very curious. I like what I hear. <3

They need to reissue this one in 2020 with 2-3 tracksa that never made (including this one) According to manzanera there is not much left from these sessions but South Downs Instrumental this and one more I think with maybe another from the vault and Jealous Guy would make this masterpiece reshine again! One of the best Neopo albums of all times!

I'm a huge Roxy fan, and this is a sublime album, but I can see why this didn't make the cut.
It really doesn't do it for me on any level.
