On Feb. 2, 2018, Roxy Music will release an deluxe expanded edition of their self-titled first album. The new collection will be comprised of three CDs, a DVD and a 136-page book.

The first disc contains the original Roxy Music album, and the other two are comprised of previously unreleased demos, outtakes and BBC sessions. The DVD contains a 5.1 surround mix of the album and nine promotional videos the band made at the time. The book features rare photographs and an essay Richard Williams, who, in Melody Maker, wrote of them at the beginning of their career, "If Roxy Music go very much further, they’ll be one of the great success stories of modern time.”

“Late ’71/’72 Roxy was our Arts Lab," saxophonist Andy Mackay said in a press release. "The place where we exchanged ideas and dreams freely and created and explored a new sound landscape. We stepped into Command Studios with a complete album in our heads (and half the next one) and it only needed the tape to start running… no album was as easy to record again.”

“At 21, my musical dreams came true, recording this album with these wonderfully talented and unique band members," guitarist Phil Manzanera added, "Magical times, magical music.”

A deluxe two-CD set with 24-page booklet will also be released, as well as digital and vinyl versions. There is no word as to whether this will be the first of an ongoing Roxy re-issue project. You can check out the track listing below and pre-order the set via this link.
