THE COMPLETE LEGEDARY BROADCAST FROM 1974 Roxy Music’s fourth LP, Country Life, was released in November 1974 and was the first Roxy album to enter the US Top 40, albeit at No. 37. Country Life was met with widespread critical acclaim, with Rolling Stone referring to it "as if Ferry ran a cabaret for psychotics, featuring chanteurs in a state of shock". The band had begun touring their new album in September of ’74, and had played more than 30 shows across the UK before heading off to continental Europe on November 5th, to perform a further handful in Germany, Sweden, Holland, Belgium, France and Switzerland through November. In February and March 1975, Roxy toured the US. Roxy Music’s final two shows in the UK during this jaunt took place at Newcastle City Hall on October 27th & 28th 1974, and the latter of these two was recorded for live radio broadcast. Four numbers form this date appeared later on Roxy’s first live album, Viva! Roxy Music, released in August 1975, but previously the entire concert has remained unreleased. This new CD now addresses this situation, featuring as it does the complete 28th October 1974 broadcast of Roxy Music live at Newcastle City Hall, certain to become a must-have item for the band’s thousands of fans still flying the flag for one of Britain’s finest and most challenging groups of the 1970s and 1980s.
