Bryan Ferry

Retrospective: 1973-2023

£57.99

Released: 25th October 2024. 'Retrospective: Selected Recordings 1973-2023' provides the first ever comprehensive career retrospective to fully explore the depth and breadth of Bryan Ferry as a solo artist. It brings together for the first time his classic output with Island Records, Polydor, Virgin/E.G., and BMG and brings the story right up to date, spanning a period of over 50 years. This compilation showcases his skill both as a writer of original classics and reflects his status as the greatest interpreter of other writers' material. It also draws out the sonic versatility of Bryan Ferry as a solo artist - from rock 'n' roll to sophisticated adult pop; from R&B and dance-based grooves to piano ballads; from electronica to ambient; from jazz to country, folk, blues and avant-garde new wave. At the centre of it all is the unique sound and style of Bryan Ferry, an artist who has remained relevant, interesting and unmistakably himself.
