Bryan Ferry’s vocal are about the only element that has any resemblance to the track as released titled Ladytron on the groundbreaking first album. The absence of Phil Manzanera’s rapier guitar & Paul Thompson’s juggernaut drumming gives the demo a looser, softer edged, less solid, unpremeditated extemporised vibe. The sheer scale of imagination & the willingness to embrace experimental approaches to pop / rock is there in abundance on the demo. Truly fascinating . This in 1971! Over half a century ago. The same year as the UK went over to decimal currency. The old was making way for the new for sure. Many thanks for sharing this, good vibes.
@@reinpost Agreed, I believe that Ferry auditioned for KC around this time but Fripp linked him up with EG for a deal & they went their independent ways. Then there was the later collaborations between Fripp & Eno & onwards to Bowie’s Berlin albums (bringing Fripp out of a 3 year hiatus / exile in NY). So, as you say, there were musical similarities than rumbled down the years from these two great progressive bands, RM & KC.
Seeing those images of Eno, with his thin, long blonde hair, well on its way in its receding descent is sadly reflective of my own fateful foray in that arena. Thankfully, going bald has no association with declines in intelligence or creativity. In Eno's case, it appears to have had an inverse relationship...It is wonderful to hear that emerging sound in its infancy...
Absolutely fantastic❤. One of rocknrolls best songs ever!! I kind of like that nonchalant sax solo after the First vers. Obviously the core to the classic track is already here. But glad they developed it to perfection. More of everything.
Did I just hear a little tidbit of a snippet from a passage on Eno's opening synth foray which eerily sounded like what became the repeating synth riff in Pink Floyd's "Welcome to the Machine"?
Basic VCS3 synth throb generation: if a PF WYWH fan, sound sourcer; check sound of an18th Century belt driven threshing machine ... you can find / hear it at beginning of Polanski's 'Tess' film!!
According to Richard Williams, who dates the demo as 27th May 1971, it's Roger Bunn on guitar and certainly not O'List... although I can't hear any guitar?
Likewise, fanx 4da upload as great to get this generally available from an otherwise (still) only accessible from a pretty pricey package, thus presumably callously marketed at fleecing loyal long-term major fans, senior & successful enough to indulge the rip-off.
I came back to my hometown 1 month earlier..My mummy was worried bout me...asked me 1day who is she...I didnt say nothing or something like ' I almost forgot..' But afew months later watching TV..with my mother.she appeared .....And I heard her words...like..adorance..all atributes...And when a woman say something like that or ..

This sounds much more like the first two King Crimson albums ...

‘Raw’ Roxy! Innovative and at their best. Years ahead of anyone else. Great upload! Thanks.
Almost in another universe, compared to the other bands of the time!
Yes it was really amazing. Great artists.
❤❤❤ROXY MUSIC ALL THE TIME ANYTIME❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing this raw sound of early RM rehearsing.
Thank you for the Roxy music.
Saw RM at the Chatham Central Hall ( Kent UK ) in 1972 . I think they opened with this ? A blink of an eye later and it's 2022 at the O2 London .
What an amazing thing nice to hear the behind the scenes of their music
Gordon Bennett! Thx ever so much for sharing. Raw and shimmering. .. ... ....
A gem 💎

He was a bit of a chick magnet apparently, all eager to get their hands on that slider...

Hi Pavane!
@@costumesbyantonia806 Hi there!
Really great to hear this. Thanks for uploading
Just not the same without Mr. Manzanera.🗿
Basically how old? Jim Morrison is still alive at this point for just a little longer

Dare I say it but I like this rawer version of this song

Thanks for posting. I had always thought Roger Bunn was on guitar on the early demos, but interesting that Davy O'List was already on board.

just great
