Realising, now there\u2019s an audience to write for. An intelligent audience,\u201d Bryan Ferry reflected. \u201cI felt a responsibility for the work that I hadn\u2019t for the first album, certainly with regard to the lyrics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was a hunger in the whole band to do more: a very strong urge to get back into a recording studio and make a better record than the first one. Nick de Ville had a cottage in Derbyshire, and offered to let me have it for a few days. So I went up there with the sole purpose of writing songs.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>He looked back at piling his Renault 4 full of keyboards, a guitar, an amp, tape recorders, and pads of paper and pens and driving out to the remote cottage. \u201cI was completely alone out there, and just really focused on writing this stuff,\u201d he said. \u201cI remember sheets of paper all over the floor, working on things like In Every Dream Home A Heartache and Editions Of You. Those few days in that cottage were crucial to the making of \u2018For Your Pleasure.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"td-a-ad id_inline_ad1 id_ad_content-horiz-center\"><span class=\"td-adspot-title\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"taboola-mid-article-title\">Recommended<\/h5>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article\">\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Those fragile cassettes Ferry recorded in Derbyshire, as well as more tapes made in his London flat, have survived, and are now set to be released for the first time in more than 50 years as part of the \u2018For Your Pleasure\u2019 2026 edition.<\/p>\n<p>Accompanying news of the re-release is a first glimpse of the unreleased recordings inside the \u2018For Your Pleasure Super Deluxe Edition\u2019.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>CD1 \u2013 \u2018For Your Pleasure\u2019<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>\u2018Do The Strand\u2019<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018Beauty Queen\u2019<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018Strictly Confidential\u2019<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018Editions Of You\u2019<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018In Every Dream Home A Heartache\u2019<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018The Bogus Man\u2019<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018Grey Lagoons\u2019<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018For Your Pleasure\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>CD2 \u2013 Demos, Rehearsals &amp; Studio Outtakes<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>\u2018Pyjamarama\u2019 \u2013 guitar &amp; vocal<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018Do The Strand\u2019 \u2013 piano &amp; vocal<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018Beauty Queen\u2019 \u2013 tremolo piano<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018Beauty Queen\u2019 \u2013 electric piano<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018Beauty Queen\u2019 \u2013 piano &amp; vocal<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018Strictly Confidential\u2019 (segue into)<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018Editions Of You\u2019 \u2013 electric piano<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018In Every Dream Home A Heartache\u2019 \u2013 farfisa &amp; guitar<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018In Every Dream Home A Heartache\u2019 \u2013 tremolo guitar<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018For Your Pleasure\u2019 \u2013 electric piano<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018Pyjamarama\u2019 \u2013 Rehearsal 1973<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018Bogus Man\u2019 \u2013 Rehearsal 1973<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018Grey Lagoons\u2019 \u2013 1971 Demo (Original title The Bogus Man Part 2)<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018Pyjamarama\u2019 \u2013 AIR Studios outtake<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018Beauty Queen\u2019 \u2013 AIR Studios outtake<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018Strictly Confidential\u2019 \u2013 AIR Studios outtakes<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018Editions Of You\u2019 \u2013 AIR Studios outtake<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018The Bogus Man\u2019 \u2013 AIR Studios outtake<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018Grey Lagoons\u2019 \u2013 AIR Studios outtake<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018For Your Pleasure\u2019 \u2013 Eno tapes<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>CD3 \u2013 Live Sessions, Singles &amp; Instrumentals<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"td-a-ad id_inline_ad2 id_ad_content-horiz-center\"><span class=\"td-adspot-title\">Advertisement<\/span>  <\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-article-2\" class=\"lazy-ad\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>\u2018Grey Lagoons\u2019 \u2013 BBC Paris Theatre (London) August 1972 (first live performance)<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018For Your Pleasure\u2019 \u2013 Peel Sessions November 1972<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018Do The Strand\u2019 \u2013 Peel Sessions March 1973<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018Editions Of You\u2019 \u2013 Peel Sessions March 1973<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018Pyjamarama\u2019 \u2013 Peel Sessions March 1973<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Released today (August 13) for the first time is \u2018Grey Lagoons \u2013 1971 Demo (original title: The Bogus Man Part 2)\u2019, the demo that formed part of the homemade tape that first brought Roxy Music to the attention of the music press.<\/p>\n<p>The Super Deluxe Edition also premieres two additional unheard recordings of the song, \u2018Grey Lagoons \u2013 Air Studios Outtake\u2019 and \u2018Grey Lagoons \u2013 Live at Montreux, April 1973\u2019, and two accompanying BBC performance clips reveal how dramatically the song evolved in just a short number of months.<\/p>\n<p>The 2026 edition of For Your Pleasure will be available in a variety of formats including 2LP (Black vinyl, and in Blue Pearl Vinyl as a D2C Exclusive), 2CD, Digital, Blu-Ray, Dolby ATMOS, and as a 3CD+1DVD Super Deluxe Edition \u2013 and you can pre-order yours here.<\/p>\n<p>The 2CD Deluxe Edition includes the original album, plus AIR Studios outtakes, singles and BBC sessions, presented in a hardcover digibook with a new essay and unseen images, while the 2LP Vinyl edition features the original album, plus AIR Studios outtakes in a gatefold sleeve.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018For Your Pleasure\u2019 is also available in a Blu-Ray edition, available exclusively here.

unheard studio recordings, songwriting sketches, rehearsals, outtakes, live sessions and rare unseen performances, the 2026 edition of \u2018For Your Pleasure\u2019 takes listeners back to its creation, and the central question of how to tackle the daunting second album.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a good pressure. Realising, now there\u2019s an audience to write for. An intelligent audience,\u201d Bryan Ferry reflected. \u201cI felt a responsibility for the work that I hadn\u2019t for the first album, certainly with regard to the lyrics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was a hunger in the whole band to do more: a very strong urge to get back into a recording studio and make a better record than the first one. Nick de Ville had a cottage in Derbyshire, and offered to let me have it for a few days. So I went up there with the sole purpose of writing songs.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>He looked back at piling his Renault 4 full of keyboards, a guitar, an amp, tape recorders, and pads of paper and pens and driving out to the remote cottage. \u201cI was completely alone out there, and just really focused on writing this stuff,\u201d he said. \u201cI remember sheets of paper all over the floor, working on things like In Every Dream Home A Heartache and Editions Of You. Those few days in that cottage were crucial to the making of \u2018For Your Pleasure.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"td-a-ad id_inline_ad1 id_ad_content-horiz-center\"><span class=\"td-adspot-title\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"taboola-mid-article-title\">Recommended<\/h5>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article\">\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Those fragile cassettes Ferry recorded in Derbyshire, as well as more tapes made in his London flat, have survived, and are now set to be released for the first time in more than 50 years as part of the \u2018For Your Pleasure\u2019 2026 edition.<\/p>\n<p>Accompanying news of the re-release is a first glimpse of the unreleased recordings inside the \u2018For Your Pleasure Super Deluxe Edition\u2019.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>CD1 \u2013 \u2018For Your Pleasure\u2019<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>\u2018Do The Strand\u2019<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018Beauty Queen\u2019<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018Strictly Confidential\u2019<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018Editions Of You\u2019<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018In Every Dream Home A Heartache\u2019<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018The Bogus Man\u2019<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018Grey Lagoons\u2019<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018For Your Pleasure\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>CD2 \u2013 Demos, Rehearsals &amp; Studio Outtakes<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>\u2018Pyjamarama\u2019 \u2013 guitar &amp; vocal<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018Do The Strand\u2019 \u2013 piano &amp; vocal<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018Beauty Queen\u2019 \u2013 tremolo piano<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018Beauty Queen\u2019 \u2013 electric piano<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018Beauty Queen\u2019 \u2013 piano &amp; vocal<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018Strictly Confidential\u2019 (segue into)<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018Editions Of You\u2019 \u2013 electric piano<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018In Every Dream Home A Heartache\u2019 \u2013 farfisa &amp; guitar<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018In Every Dream Home A Heartache\u2019 \u2013 tremolo guitar<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018For Your Pleasure\u2019 \u2013 electric piano<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018Pyjamarama\u2019 \u2013 Rehearsal 1973<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018Bogus Man\u2019 \u2013 Rehearsal 1973<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018Grey Lagoons\u2019 \u2013 1971 Demo (Original title The Bogus Man Part 2)<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018Pyjamarama\u2019 \u2013 AIR Studios outtake<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018Beauty Queen\u2019 \u2013 AIR Studios outtake<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018Strictly Confidential\u2019 \u2013 AIR Studios outtakes<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018Editions Of You\u2019 \u2013 AIR Studios outtake<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018The Bogus Man\u2019 \u2013 AIR Studios outtake<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018Grey Lagoons\u2019 \u2013 AIR Studios outtake<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018For Your Pleasure\u2019 \u2013 Eno tapes<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>CD3 \u2013 Live Sessions, Singles &amp; Instrumentals<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"td-a-ad id_inline_ad2 id_ad_content-horiz-center\"><span class=\"td-adspot-title\">Advertisement<\/span>  <\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-article-2\" class=\"lazy-ad\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>\u2018Grey Lagoons\u2019 \u2013 BBC Paris Theatre (London) August 1972 (first live performance)<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018For Your Pleasure\u2019 \u2013 Peel Sessions November 1972<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018Do The Strand\u2019 \u2013 Peel Sessions March 1973<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018Editions Of You\u2019 \u2013 Peel Sessions March 1973<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2018Pyjamarama\u2019 \u2013 Peel Sessions March 1973<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Released today (August 13) for the first time is \u2018Grey Lagoons \u2013 1971 Demo (original title: The Bogus Man Part 2)\u2019, the demo that formed part of the homemade tape that first brought Roxy Music to the attention of the music press.<\/p>\n<p>The Super Deluxe Edition also premieres two additional unheard recordings of the song, \u2018Grey Lagoons \u2013 Air Studios Outtake\u2019 and \u2018Grey Lagoons \u2013 Live at Montreux, April 1973\u2019, and two accompanying BBC performance clips reveal how dramatically the song evolved in just a short number of months.<\/p>\n<p>The 2026 edition of For Your Pleasure will be available in a variety of formats including 2LP (Black vinyl, and in Blue Pearl Vinyl as a D2C Exclusive), 2CD, Digital, Blu-Ray, Dolby ATMOS, and as a 3CD+1DVD Super Deluxe Edition \u2013 and you can pre-order yours here.<\/p>\n<p>The 2CD Deluxe Edition includes the original album, plus AIR Studios outtakes, singles and BBC sessions, presented in a hardcover digibook with a new essay and unseen images, while the 2LP Vinyl edition features the original album, plus AIR Studios outtakes in a gatefold sleeve.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018For Your Pleasure\u2019 is also available in a Blu-Ray edition, available exclusively here.
