Atco/Reprise (US)ProducerRhett Davies and Roxy MusicFlesh + Blood is the seventh studio album by the English rock band Roxy Music. Released in late May 1980, it was an immediate commercial success peaking at No. 1 in the UK for one week in June and then returned to the summit in August for another three weeks, in total spending 60 weeks on the albums chart in the United Kingdom. The album also peaked at No. 35 in the United States and No. 10 in Australia.The album was preceded by the single "Over You", a No. 5 UK hit that also provided the band with a rare US chart entry at No. 80. Two more hit singles followed: "Oh Yeah" (UK #5) and "Same Old Scene" (UK No. 12, AUS #35). Flesh + Blood also included two cover versions: The Byrds' "Eight Miles High" and Wilson Pickett's "In the Midnight Hour". The latter was released as a single in some territories. In addition, the album's title track along with the aforementioned "Over You" and "Eight Miles High" peaked at number forty-six on the Billboard dance charts.The album was made after their drummer Paul Thompson had left the band, essentially making Roxy Music a three-piece band consisting of Bryan Ferry, Andy Mackay and Phil Manzanera.The album cover features three models holding spears (The third model is featured on the back cover), who were hired by the photographer (their identities remain unknown apart from the bottom model on the front cover, her name is Aimee Stephenson and she also appeared in the Levi Route 66 commercial), the cover artwork was designed by Peter Saville with no input from Ferry, continuing the tradition for Roxy Music albums to feature images of women on the cover artwork. The model on the back of the album cover is Roslyn Bolton, her modelling name was Ashley. Please check out my excellent feedback and if you have any queries then please do not hesitate to ask. I offer a 100% no quibble refund if you are not entirely satisfied. ‘Proof of Postage’ is obtained for all posted items. My postage policy does not include combined postage, the benefit to you the customer is exceptionally low starting prices plus PayPal and eBay transaction insurance is void when combining individual purchases. Please don’t ask (it get embarrassing) and I do not do cheaper postage if I remove bespoke item packaging. I am fair and transparent to all my valued eBay customers and I do not make exception. All my items are internally packed with either bespoke record packaging, strong cardboard and/or bubble-wrap and are as such typically more expensive to post and not like the cheap postage items on offer on eBay that come without the extra protection. My grading is very strict and not left to chance. All of my items are available to view before bidding should you choose to do so.
