Roxy Music is een Britse rockgroep die in het begin van de jaren 70 werd gevormd als samenwerkingsproject tussen Bryan Ferry (zang, toetsenbord) en Brian Eno (elektronische muziekspecialist). De band bestond van 1971 tot 1975 en van 1979 tot 1983 (na 1973 zonder Eno). In 2001 werd een Roxy Music-reünie georganiseerd met Ferry, Thompson, Phil Manzanera en Andy Mackay. Samen maakten zij een tournee en zij traden in juni 2005 op in Berlijn bij Live 8.
 
De grootste hits van Roxy Music waren Love is the drug, Jealous guy en Avalon. De naam van de groep was gedeeltelijk een hulde aan de namen van oude bioscopen en danszalen, en gedeeltelijk een woordspeling op het woord 'rock'. Het parallel aan de orde stellen van nostalgische en eigentijdse (of futuristische) thema's was een kenmerkende eigenschap van de band, in het bijzonder in hun vroegste werken.

The uniqueness of Roxy Music and their style of romantic rock endeared a large following. Roxy Music and the vocal swagger of Bryan Ferry gave the 70s and 80s a style of music that was largely inimitable because no one was like Ferry. With his suave vocal delivery and the band's perfectly smooth and complementary musicianship, Ferry and company dished out one of the most elegant styles of rock known to its brief history. 
The stylish music that Roxy Music created never radically changed but it did mature making for very pleasant and increasingly desirable albums to listen to and to enjoy. At their creative peak with Avalon, Roxy Music made the final bow.

Avalon is remembered by many. It is remembered by fans who adored its depth and its beauty. It is remembered by the casual listener who only heard a song or two off the album that enjoyed fairly heavy rotation on radios. Roxy Music was further adorned by Ferry's memorable solo albums which generated hits of their own bringing new listeners to explore, however briefly, his past. And Ferry's past always seemed to be personified by Avalon.

With the band's inclination toward art-rock largely influenced by the then departed extraordinaire known as Brian Eno, the band became the complete sum of their entire career in 9 well-crafted songs that were fitting for a swansong. In this SACD reissue, the beauty of Avalon increases and we are once again captivated
