Description
From the early to mid-70s, Roxy Music reconfigured all notions of "pop music", introducing arch post-modernism to the mainstream with early hits such as 'Virginia Plain', from their self-titled debut album, before going on to fashion a unique strain of sophisticated art-rock with later albums, among them Stranded and Country Life. Recorded for broadcast while touring their fifth record, Siren, this 1976 performance is a greatest-hits set in all but name, the group running through highlights of their career to date - 'The Thrill of It All', 'Street Life' and, yes, 'Virginia Plain' - alongside covers of 'A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall' (Bob Dylan) and the 60s R&B classic 'The "In" Crowd', as reimagined for a new era by frontman Bryan Ferry, who had recorded the songs on his first and second solo albums, respectively.
Roxy Music would go on hiatus soon after, making Stockholm Broadcast a crucial snapshot of the band in their prime.
