Stranded, the third long playing outing from Roxy Music, not only gave the band their first No. 1 album in the UK but was also the first to come to the wider attention of US audiences. An incredibly accomplished and consistent collection of songs Stranded thrills from start to finish from the definitive album opener (and hit single) Street Life to the affecting ballad Just like You, the smouldering Song For Europe and the epic (and one of the all-time great Bryan Ferry compositions) Mother Of Pearl. From its Antony Price-styled sleeve in, Stranded is nothing short of a musical hothouse, brim-full of colour, drama and exotica.To mark the 50th anniversary of Roxy Music Stranded has been given a fresh Half-Speed cut by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios in London while the album artwork has been similarly revised with lyrics and a deluxe gloss laminated finish.
