Roxy Music, The Bogus Man
(For Your Pleasure, 1973)
“Focused his mind on something he cared about, but it came out a shout, just like before.”
Roxy Music, The Bogus Man
Roxy Music, The Thrill of It All
(Country Life, 1974)
“Do you wonder where you’re going to? Every word I use, each crumpled page — strange ideas mature with age, turn gold, then they hit the ground.”
Eric Boman, Country Life
“American Vogue saw rapid changes after grande dame Diana Vreeland’s retirement. Photo editor Alexander Liberman was looking for a new pictorial language of “bad” photography of a casual and, if you will, unprofessional quality. At the time when Roxy Music’s Country Life was released in November 1974, Helmut Newton was about to define this new style in his own iconic way, with highly staged images of females caught in the very act of something. According to Constanze, they just had to look weird and surprised.”

Eveline Grünwald and Constanze Karoli — incidentally, Can guitarist Michael Karoli’s lover and cousin, respectfully — in my favourite record cover ever. You’re so surprised.
