"In every dream home, a heartache" - Bryan Ferry & Roxy Music
The rights for Roxy Music's albums were recently acquired by Warner Bros.,
who will be reissuing that band's CDs beginning this coming July.
The first in the series will be the 1987 EG/Virgin compilation
"Streetlife", and the individual LPs will follow at various intervals,
as yet to be assigned.
I believe this wasn't an act of laziness on the record company's part,
rather the fact that Roxy switched record companies when "Avalon"
was released. If I were in Bryan Ferry's shoes (or Zappa, or Bowie
for that matter), I'd shop around and make sure my product would get
the treatment it deserves... unlike the reissues of Elton John, for
example...
