More Than This: The Best Of Bryan Ferry & Roxy Music - Bryan ...

repacking it they committed heresy by deleting 2 top Roxy tracks out went Pyjamarama and Do The Strand and for aficionados of the band this is unforgivable.

The other stand-out track is Wild Cat Days which reunites Ferry and Roxy Music band mate Brian Eno for the first time since 1974. An edgy song with an electronica drive that really does suit ...
