Roxy Music // Virginia Plain
Take me on a roller coaster
Take me for an airplane ride
Take me for a six day wonder
But don't you throw don't you throw my pride aside besides
What's real and make believe?
Baby Jane's in Acapulco, we are flying down to Rio

Roxy Music / Virginia Plain (Peel Session)
Aktuell können Sie im Soundarchiv der BBC Six Music unter der Rubrik „6 Music Artist Collection“ einiges zur Band Roxy Music nachhören. Neben zwei Live-Konzerten aus 1972 und 1979 für die BBC sind dies vor allem die wirklich gelungenen Band-Biographien „The Thrill of it all (pt I und II) „die Jarvis Cocker im Jahr 2012 produzierte. Nachdem dieses Jahr das Roxy Music Debüt-Album Roxy Music 50 wurde, ist das Anlass genug sich nochmals intensiver mit einer der schillerndsten Bands der 70ies zu befassen. Auf der Deluxe Edition von Roxy Music findet sich das bekannteste Stück Virginia Plain auch in der erstaunlichen Version, die Bryan Ferry und Co in 1972 bei John Peel anläßlich einer Peel Session live einspielten. Und die zeigt vor allem, dass Roxy Music in 1972 auch eine wahnsinnig gute Live Band waren.

"CAN'T YOU SEE THAT HOLZER MANE, WHAT'S HER NAME? VIRGINIA PLAIN."
PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on sleeve art for French and Italian pressings of the "Virginia Plain"/"The Numberer" 7" vinyl single by English glam rock/art rock band ROXY MUSIC, both released on November 8, 1972 under the UK's Island Records.
"Throw me a line, I'm sinking fast,
Clutching at straws, can't make it,
Havana sound, we're trying,
A hard edge, the hipster jiving, oh,
Last picture shows down the drive-in,
You're so sheer, you're so chic,
Teenage rebel of the week."
-- "Virginia Plain" (1972) by ROXY MUSIC
