Roxy Music – Flesh and Blood – 180G 45RPM, Vinyl LP

Released in 1980, Flesh + Blood represents a pivotal moment in Roxy Music’s evolution—leaning into refinement, space and restraint while maintaining the band’s unmistakable identity. It’s an album built on atmosphere, control and subtlety, where every part serves the song rather than competing for attention. This 180-gram 45RPM vinyl LP presents the record with exceptional resolution, balance and composure.

The 45RPM cut allows for wider grooves and improved groove geometry, resulting in lower distortion, superior transient accuracy and a more expansive stereo image. On playback, rhythmic elements feel precise and grounded, basslines are articulate and controlled, and the album’s layered keyboards and guitars gain air and definition. Bryan Ferry’s vocals are rendered with striking intimacy, sitting effortlessly within the mix rather than on top of it.

Tracks such as Over You, Same Old Scene and Oh Yeah benefit enormously from the added headroom and clarity, revealing subtle production details and dynamic shading that can be obscured on standard pressings. The analogue presentation enhances flow and timing, making the album feel cohesive and unforced from start to finish.

Pressed on heavyweight vinyl for stability and low surface noise, this edition is designed for revealing systems and attentive listening. For audiophiles and collectors, it offers a deeply satisfying way to hear Flesh + Blood—an album whose sophistication rewards precision and space.
