"THE ONLY REASON TO BUY IS TO SEE WHAT ROXY MUSIC LOOKED LIKE DURING THE FIRST YEAR OF EXISTENCE.

OTHERWISE THE SOUND QUALITY, LENGTH OF THE CD AND THE PERFORMANCE DON'T REALLY JUSTIFY BUYING THIS.



This is one of two CD's released from German TV shows of Roxy Music playing live in a bar in 1972 and 1974. This is the better CD which is mostly from 1972. The other CD, Vintage is from 1974.



Both of these CD's have been reissued as a double CD called Reflections.



This CD consists of 6 songs. The songs are in CD audio you can play on any CD player. The songs are repeated in Quicktime Video you can play on your computer.



The sound quality is bad. The video is OK when watched on a small window on your computer. On the plus side, the editing is very good, unlike most DVD videos you get today.



What makes this interesting is seeing the group in the early days when Brian Eno was in the group. He is dressed in featheres and the rest of the group has a little of the glam rock posturing."
