ROXY MUSIC - FOR YOUR PLEASUR (HALF S/LP)

ROXY MUSIC - FOR YOUR PLEASUR (HALF S/LP) All eight Roxy Music albums will be reissued as half-speed mastered vinyl pressings in 2022. Back in 2015, the albums were cut at half-speed for the Complete Studio Albums 8LP box set, and in 2017 the debut album had a standalone vinyl release using the same metal parts that pressed the 2015 version. However, these new 2022 pressings are brand new half-speed versions cut by Miles Showell at Abbey Road (Miles did the 2015 versions as well!). If you are wondering why they’d bother to do them again, it’s a good question. It is likely to be either because the metal parts were not retained or had become damaged or worn out. These are cut from the same source as in 2015. They are likely to sound very similar (although I know Miles has upgraded his lathe since 2015).
