Amy Winehouse / Back to Black SDE exclusive blu-ray

Quick Pre-order

Amy Winehouse’s 2006 album Back to Black is being reissued for its 20th anniversary as an SDE exclusive blu-ray audio

The album was a huge critical and commercial success, reaching No 1 In the UK, and going on to be the best-selling album of 2007. It’s now the second best selling album of this century in the UK (behind Adele’s 21). Lead single ‘Rehab’ was a transatlantic top 10 hit and Back to Black won ‘Best Pop Vocal Album’ at the 2008 Grammys, with Winehouse collecting a further four awards that night.

The SDE blu-ray features the Dolby Atmos Mix of Back to Black (created by Oli Morgan) and Miles Showell’s 2018 stereo remaster which was prepared at Abbey Road Studios for the half-speed vinyl pressing issued in that year.

Back to Black audio streams on the blu-ray

  • Back to Black Atmos Mix (48 kHz / 24 bit)
  • Back to Black 2018 Remaster (48 kHz / 24 bit)

Additionally, the blu-ray features 17 bonus tracks (stereo only) including unreleased demos, rare B-sides and ‘Valerie‘ performed live at BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge.

This region-free blu-ray features brand new alternative cover artwork and a 16-page booklet featuring never before-seen photos by original album photographer Mischa Richter, plus new quotes from album producers Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi. Unseen imagery is also featured during the visual playback of this blu-ray. 

Back to Black is #74 in the ongoing SDE Surround Series and will be packaged similarly to previous editions (clear amaray case) and ships with a free, collectible SDE Surround Series slipcase. There may be some availability of this blu-ray in the Amy Winehouse shop (without the slipcase).

The SDE blu-ray audio is TIME LIMITED release; the pre-order window closes at midnight GMT on 15 September 2026. Availability after that point cannot be guaranteed. 

Back to Black is reissued on 23 October 2026 via UMR/Island.

Soft Machine / Slightly All The Time Recordings 1970-1974

Slightly All The Time Recordings 1970-1974 is a new CD box set featuring English rock band Soft Machine.

This comprehensive anthology features 14 CDs and three blu-rays and covers the first half of the 1970s and the five albums (‘Third’, ‘Fourth’, ‘Fifth’, ‘Six’ and ‘Seven’) they recorded for CBS with each one newly remastered from the original quarter-inch tapes. In addition, it includes all of their existing BBC sessions (half of which are unreleased) and a generous selection of rare and previously unavailable concert recordings from Europe (UK/France/Switzerland).

Compiler Mark Powell has unearthed an entirely different set of recordings of their ‘Fifth’ album, as well as over 6 hours of superb audio-visual material gathered from European TV broadcast archives, almost all of which has never been issued before.

Highlights include Paris 1970, Brussels 1971, the complete Berliner Jazztage performance, Beat Club and the BBC TV appearances on ‘An Anatomy of Pop’ and ‘Full House’.

Slightly All The Time Recordings 1970-1974 will be released on 30 October 2026 via Sony Music.

Tears for Fears / The Seeds of Love – blu-ray ‘easter egg’

I am very happy to have announced the SDE blu-ray of Tears For Fears’ The Seeds of Love on Wednesday and thanks as always for an amazing response.

It will be great to finally have all three 80s TFF albums as part of the SDE Surround Series and there’s loads of great content on the disc. However, with all the excitement around the announcement, I did forget to tell you about something quite interesting on this disc, an ‘easter egg’ of sorts.

The SDE blu-ray has exclusive instrumental versions of all the album tracks in Atmos, 5.1 and Stereo but there’s two songs in instrumental form that run longer than their ‘vocal’ counterparts. These are ‘Sowing The Seeds of Love’ and ‘Standing on the Corner of the Third World’. The album version of the former is 6.19 but the instrumental is 7.04. I think Steven Wilson basically let it run to the very end of the usable performance. This is now officially the longest commercially released version of this song, beating the 6.52 single version by a whisker. ‘Standing on the Corner of the Third World’ runs to 6.18 compared to the standard version of 5.32.

If you are wondering why SW didn’t do this extension to the vocal versions of the songs as well, there are two issues: Firstly, the Atmos version of an album has to sync precisely to the stereo on Apple Music and if these two were longer then that wouldn’t happen; and second, the album is basically sacrosanct, letting a couple of instruments run longer is different from changing the actual studio album.

Still, this is a nice little quirk to know about and it wouldn’t have happened without this exclusive blu-ray product, which is still available to pre-order only via the SDE shop.



ChartWatch

Paul Heaton enters the UK charts at No 1 this week with his new studio album Jenius. He’s had five chart-topping albums before but never as a solo artist (three with The Beautiful South and two collaborative albums with Jacqui Abbott. With 23k worth of sales (almost all physical) Heaton sold more than double the second highest new entry, which was Brandon Flowers who has to settle for No 3, with Thrasher, a new solo album. Remarkably, all of The Killers’ studio albums and both of Flowers previous solo efforts have gone to number one in the UK, so he’s probably not used to not reaching the top! By the way, Michael Jackson’s The Essential best of refuses to go away and is No 2, in between Heaton and Flowers (undoubtedly almost all streaming).

Dolly Parton’s 2022 greatest hits, Diamonds and Rhinestones re-entered the UK chart at No 6 for obvious reasons and it’s not a great week for the Happy Mondays since the reissue of Pill ‘n’ Thrills and Bellyaches doesn’t even make it into the top 75 (No 81) despite all that effort with the various physical editions.



RIP Amazon Movers and Shakers

I’m sure some of you will have noticed that Amazon’s ‘Movers and Shakers’ page for music (and, I think, other categories) is no longer serving any content. These pages existed for years for all the various Amazon country sites and they highlighted the “biggest gainers in sales rank over the past 24 hours”. This meant it flagged new entries, surges in sales ranking due to discounts (or mis-pricing!) and similar. It was an extremely useful tool and I really do mourn its loss. The pages still actually exist but there’s simply no content. The UK page reads: “Sorry, there are no movers and shakers available in this category. Please check back later.”

At first I thought this was just a glitch that someone would eventually notice – and fix – and we’d be back in business but, sadly, that is not the case. Don’t bother checking back ‘later’, because I reached out to a contact at Amazon and asked what was going on. I was told “Unfortunately the Movers & Shakers pages have now been discontinued“. It’s hard to understand why they are no longer supporting these pages when they were purely data driven and, surely, to a certain degree they created (and supported) themselves. Annoying. Oh well… I was thinking about this the other day, but does anyone else agree that ‘peak’ Amazon / deals / low shipping costs, etc was probably 2017? Those days have gone…


Simple Minds / Once Upon A Time – SDE blu-ray delayed

I’m sorry to inform pre-orderers of Simple Minds Once Upon A Time SDE blu-ray that the release is now delayed until 18 September. This had previously gone back to 4 September, but now slips another two weeks. As I say, apologies; I think it’s just some kind of production delay – nothing to worry about and let me tell you that we are as keen to ship these to you, as you are to receive them, so it’s frustrating on all sides! We will email everyone to let them know.

Tears For Fears / The Seeds of Love reissue featuring SDE blu-ray

Quick pre-order at the SDE shop

Tears For Fears 1989 album The Seeds of Love will be reissued in October across a number of formats including as an SDE exclusive blu-ray audio.

The recording sessions for the band’s third and final album in the ’80s (the last with Curt Smith until 2004’s Everybody Loves A Happy Ending) were a famously protracted affair, taking four years to complete at a reputed cost of £1m. Perfectionism was the name of the game, along with a passion for more organic sessions, which saw a switch from electronics to ‘real instruments’, the addition of world-class session musicians (Manu Katche, Pino Palladino etc), and Kansas-based singer Oleta Adams. 

This all worked to stunning effect on the complex, Beatles-y lead single ‘Sowing The Seeds Of Love‘ which reached the top 5 both sides of the Atlantic and on the singles ‘Woman in Chains‘ and the fan (and band) favourite ‘Badman’s Song‘. Other highlights include the breezy Steely Dan-esque ‘Advice For The Young At Heart‘ (the third single) and the driving ‘Year of the Knife‘.

This Seeds of Love blu-ray disc features a brand new Steven Wilson Dolby Atmos Mix, an updated 5.1 mix (not the same as the one in the 2020 box set) and for the first time Steven Wilson’s stereo mix is commercially released (this was first created in 2020 and updated in 2023).

Additionally, the blu-ray includes an unreleased 2023 Miles Showell stereo remaster of The Seeds of Love (prepared for a half-speed vinyl pressing whch is part of this campaign), full instrumental versions in Atmos, 5.1 and Stereo and what Roland Orzabal called the “magical” Townhouse Live Jam Sessions from the long out-of-print box set, which include Roland singing ‘Rhythm of Life‘, a song he wrote with Nicky Holland but was never officially released by Tears For Fears (they gave it to Oleta Adams).. 

The Seeds of Love audio streams on the blu-ray (all audio is 48 kHz / 24 bit)

  • The Seeds of Love – Steven Wilson Atmos Mix 
  • The Seeds of Love – Steven Wilson 5.1 Mix 
  • The Seeds of Love – Steven Wilson Stereo Mix 
  • The Seeds of Love – Steven Wilson Instrumental Atmos Mix 
  • The Seeds of Love – Steven Wilson Instrumental 5.1 Mix 
  • The Seeds of Love – Steven Wilson Instrumental Stereo Mix 
  • The Seeds of Love – Miles Showell 2023 Remaster 

The stereo only bonus tracks from the Townhouse Live Jam Sessions are as follows (all audio 48 kHz / 24 bit)

  1. Woman in Chains 7:08
  2. Broken 1:35
  3. Rhythm of Life 3:11
  4. Badman’s Song 8:19
  5. Badman’s Song (reprise) 2:08
  6. Standing on the Corner of the Third World 9:10

Other Seeds of Love formats in this reissue campaign include

  • 3CD deluxe featuring discs 1-3 from the 2020 box set
  • 2LP blue marbled vinyl edition with LP2 featuring B-sides & Demos
  • Half-speed mastered black vinyl LP
  • Steven Wilson Mix on D2C coloured vinyl
2LP blue vinyl with alt artwork and B-sides and Demos on LP 2

The Seeds of Love (Region-free) blu-ray audio is #73 in the ongoing SDE Surround Series and the fifth collaboration between SDE, Tears For Fears and Universal Music (The Tipping Point, The Hurting, Songs For A Nervous Planet & Songs From The Big Chair are the other four).

The Seeds of Love SDE exclusive blu-ray will be packaged similarly to previous editions (clear amaray case) and ships with a free, collectible SDE Surround Series slipcase.

The SDE blu-ray audio is TIME LIMITED release; the pre-order window closes at midnight GMT on 9 September 2026. Availability after that point cannot be guaranteed. We have a very limited bundle of the 2LP blue vinyl and blu-ray available, while stocks last.

Dolly Parton dies aged 80

Singer and songwriter Dolly Parton has died at the age of 80, it has been announced.

Dolly had a tremendous career spanning 60 years, initially as a songwriter in the early 1960s and then later that same decade as a performer and country music singer on The Porter Wagoner Show. She signed to RCA and Wagoner and Parton paired up successfully for a run of 12 studio albums between 1968 and 1974.

Parton’s talent as a songwriter was immense. 1973’s ‘Jolene’ saw Dolly enjoy a top 10 hit in the UK but it would be her only British hit single (the 1980 US smash ‘9 to 5’ stalled at No 47). 1974’s ‘Love is Like A Butterfly’ topped the Country charts in America but snuck into UK households via the backdoor in the late 1970s/early 80s when a version sung by Clare Torry (yes, her) was used as the theme tune for Carla Lane’s bittersweet BBC sitcom, Butterflies.

Despite a few dalliances with the mainstream pop chart – the sublime 1983 Bee Gees-penned Kenny Rogers duet, ‘Islands in the Stream’, comes to mine – it was on the US Country chart where Dolly really shone, chalking up more than 20 number one singles, including ‘I Will Always Love You’, a song made very famous by Whitney Houston in 1992 when she recorded it for the soundtrack to the film The Bodyguard.

Dolly Parton was well known for her kindness and her philanthropy, and supported many charitable efforts, particularly in the area of literacy, primarily through her Dollywood Foundation. 

Her family left this statement today:

“A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place.

Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.”

Rest in peace, Dolly Parton. Leave your tributes and messages in the comments.

For those curious, On Every Street was originally mixed to DAT at a sample rate of 44.1 kHz. The blu-ray also features an instrumental version of the album in Dolby Atmos, the first time the album has ever been available in instrumental form (it’s a wonderful listen).

Amy Winehouse / Back to Black reissue

Amy Winehouse’s 2006 album Back to Black is being reissued for its 20th anniversary across various formats.

The album was a huge critical and commercial success, reaching No 1 In the UK, and going on to be the best-selling album of 2007. It’s now the second best selling album of this century in the UK (behind Adele’s 21). Lead single ‘Rehab’ was a transatlantic top 10 hit and Back to Black won ‘Best Pop Vocal Album’ at the 2008 Grammys, with Winehouse collecting a further four awards that night.

This 20th anniversary reissue campaign includes 3CD deluxe and 3LP clear vinyl editions which offer unreleased demos, rare B-sides and a live performance from Paradiso, Amsterdam (8 February 2007) from the Back To Black tour. The 3CD deluxe has eight more bonus tracks than the 3LP vinyl edition, so it’s good to see the label not limiting CDs to keep the formats consistent (as is sometimes the case).

The formats will include never-before-seen photos by original album photographers Mischa Richter and Alex Lake, plus new sleeve notes from producers and friends, Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi.

Other formats include a D2C zoetrope vinyl, Amazon single CD with alternate artwork (which seems to be via a slipcase) and coloured vinyl single LP.

Back to Back will be reissued on 23 October 2026 via UMR/Island, a few days short of the album’s original release date, which was 27 October 2006. More pre-order links coming.

Sheryl Crow / Pick You Up

Sheryl Crow will release, Pick You Up, a new studio album, in November.

Written and produced with Jeff Trott (who had minimal involvement with 2024’s commercially disappointing Evolution), the album was originally conceived as a six-track EP before the new single ‘Freedom Bus’ was added, which tipped it over into an album (just about).

Crow says: “Each of these songs are a commentary on being human and wanting connection. There is a lot of chaos all around us and I definitely find myself feeling alone. My wish is that whoever hears these songs feels the hope I feel when I sing them!”

While it may be a short album, at least they’ve kept the price low, with both standard black and Amazon exclusive coloured vinyl currently only £17.99 in the UK. A ‘galaxy blue vinyl’ version is available via indies (not quite as cheap) and there’s obviously a CD edition (and a tape).

In other Sheryl Crow news, her superb self-titled 1996 album has finally been made available on vinyl for the first time, although this is part of Universal Music’s audiophile-esque ‘Vinylphyle’ series, and therefore, at the time of writing, US-only (although international shipping is available). You can order it here.

Pick You Up will be released on 20 November 2026, via Crow’s own Old Green Barn Productions.

Saturday Deluxe: SDE Surround Series update

In 2025, I think around this time of year, I posted about how it was all going to get a bit ‘messy’ with regards to SDE Surround Series blu-ray announcements. Well, I’m sorry / not sorry to say that history is about to repeat itself as we get to the ‘business end’ of year, when record companies start to bring out the big hitters.

In other words, in the next couple of months there will be many SDE blu-ray announcements. As you (hopefully) realise, I do try to do my best in terms of either spacing these releases out or bringing them together, but ‘herding cats’ is the phrase that comes to mind. Record labels, artists, artist management tend to set the agenda and while I will try to influence, I’m not in charge.

The SDE Surround Series is, in many ways, a victim of its own success. In 2022 we released six exclusive blu-rays, which were easy to space out and manage over a 12-month period. Last year we had 22! There have already been 15 announcements in 2026 and there’s more to come.

Anyway, as I say, it’s a case of sorry / not sorry, because it’s going to be great – really great – just buckle up, hold on and enjoy the ride! I said the same thing last year, but if you are a fan of surround sound and immersive audio there may be a time when you look back and think of the last few years as halcyon days.

As usual, mum’s the word, but I can tell you in 2026 the SDE Surround Series still has to offer classic albums from the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, along with a few surprises.

Thank you, as always, for your support and interest in these products. I really am as much of a fan as you are and continue to strive to bring the best albums, to the best format with as much bonus material as I can persuade labels and artists to supply! And now with our own SDE Records label, I have some great plans in place for 2027.

Cheers,
Paul

Wham! / 10 Days in China – The Live EP

A selection of Wham!’s live performances from their historic 1985 trip to China will be released for the first time, on a special live EP in December.

10 Days in China – The Live EP features four songs that all went to number one in the UK and/or the USA with two (‘Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go’ and ‘Freedom’) from the first concert in Beijing and a pair (‘Everything She Wants’ and ‘Careless Whisper’) from the second (and last) show in Guangzhou.

This live audio has been newly mixed and mastered by Chris Porter from the original recordings and will be released on 12-inch vinyl and CD single. Whether this EP is a taster of a full length live album next year or all we’ll be getting, remains to be seen.

The announcement of this release has presumably been timed to coincide with a showing of Mike Christie’s excellent documentary of the same name, on BBC TV, in the UK, on Saturday 29 August at 9pm. You can read SDE’s interview with Mike about his film, here.

10 Days in China – The Live EP will be released on 4 December 2026 via Sony.

Red Hot Chili Peppers / Stadium Arcadium vinyl reissue

The Red Hot Chili Peppers’ 2006 album, Stadium Arcadium, is being reissued for its 20th anniversary.

The band’s ninth studio album features the singles ‘Dani California’, ‘Tell Me Baby’, ‘Snow (Hey Oh)’, ‘Desecration Smile’, and ‘Hump de Bump’.

This anniversary reissue seems like an empty exercise in coloured vinyl, since there’s three different versions of the 4LP set with Amazon and other chains stocking a ‘Canary Yellow & Apple’ version; indies offering a ‘Brown Smoke & Orange Smoke’ hue and the band’s shop going with a ‘Sea Blue and Ruby Red’ pairing (also available via Warner channels).

Brown Smoke & Orange Smoke variant

Although original vinyl pressings command reasonably high prices, there has been no shortages of vinyl reissues over the years, including a 2012 RSD pressing (rumoured to be re-presented leftovers from the original run), a highly regarded 2016 US repress, and yet another American repress in 2020.

At least these new editions are easily available in Europe even if there are no bonus tracks and no word on remastering.

These Stadium Arcadium 4LP vinyl reissues are out on 2 October 2026, via Warner Records.

Happy Mondays / Pills Thrills & Bellyaches reissue

Happy Mondays / Pills 'n' Thrills and Bellyaches CD, Vinyl, Box Set

The Happy Mondays’ 1990 album Pills ’n’ Thrills and Bellyaches is reissued across multiple formats, including the limited edition ‘Pill’ version which SDEtv unboxed recently, along with the vinyl and CD versions.

Paul McCartney ‘vanilla’ CD reissues

For whatever reason, Paul McCartney’s Flowers in the Dirt (1989), Flaming Pie (1997), Red Rose Speedway (1973) and Wild Life (1971) are all being made available as single CD reissues. The gatefold card sleeve packaging makes these mildly interesting. Flowers in the Dirt actually snuck out as a single black vinyl reissue back in June (the 2017 archive version was a 2LP set with the demos).

NOW Yearbook Vault ’86

NOW Music’s Yearbook Vault series continues next month, when the spotlight falls on 1986, and songs that were minor hits, hit-adjacent or, and let’s use the word, flops.

For this release, the usual ‘Yearbook’ 4CD option of deluxe hardcover book packaging or more basic card sleeve edition, offers 77 tracks, while a 3LP coloured vinyl (purple) delivers 44 songs from the first year in the post-Live Aid era.

1986 represents an interesting 12 months, because many artists for whom having hit singles in the UK had been like falling off a log in, say, 1984, were suddenly realising that the musical landscape had shifted while they weren’t looking and in ’86 the big hits they had enjoyed were not coming quite so easily. I’m looking at you Howard Jones, Paul Young and Nik Kershaw.

This is good news for this Vault compilation, because there’s some relatively big names here, including Paul McCartney whose label EMI panicked when the experimental ‘Pretty Little Head’ FAILED TO CHART in early November of ’86 and the executives possibly had the equivalent of a COBR meeting and broke the glass on the box marked ‘Emergency Macca Ballad’. They released ‘Only Love Remains‘, barely more than a month later, and while it charted, all Paul’s efforts, including an expensive looking video (featuring ‘Professional’ Gordon Jackson) and various TV appearances (The Tube, a primetime slot on ITV) were in vain, as it peaked at 36. As with almost everything from the Press to Play album, ‘Only Love Remains’ was remixed for its single release. Vault ’86 includes the single version which has never been on CD, so that’s good (although the sax solo in the middle of the single version definitely isn’t).

Paul Young’s first single from his third solo album, 1986’s Between Two Fires, had been ‘Wonderland’. This was a song that took half an hour to get to the chorus (“don’t bore us…”, as Roxette once said) and it was his first single in the UK not to get into the top 20 since the original release of ‘Love Of The Common People’. The plan, presumably, was that ‘Some People‘ would come to the rescue! Sadly for Paul, it did even worse – much worse, peaking outside the top 40 at a lowly No 56. In fact, Vault ’86 misses the opportunity to give us a double-bill of PY non-hits, since CBS persevered with a third single, ‘Why Does A Man Have To Be Strong?’. WE DON’T CARE said the great British public and it did even worse, stalling at a miserable No 63.

Vault ’86 also reminds us that acts we know and love as ONE HIT WONDERS did actually ‘try again’; they didn’t want to be one hit wonders, after all. So yes, Belouis Some did release a few singles that weren’t ‘Imagination’ and funnily enough one of them was called ‘Some People‘! It was a very minor hit, but if history teaches us anything, it’s that 1986 was not a year to release a song called ‘Some People’. Weirdly, Belouis seemed determine to have a a hit with the word ‘Some’ in the title. He tried again in 1988 with ‘Some Girls’, then in 1993 released ‘Something She Said’ and then ‘Sometimes’. Give it a rest, mate! (none of them were hits).

‘Ed’s Funky Diner‘ was actually a great follow-up to It’s Immaterial’s ‘surprise’ hit, ‘Driving Away From Home’, and it deserved some success, but hey, Life’s Hard and Then You Die. Of course, Hollywood Beyond is the quintessential one hit wonder. ‘No More Tears‘ was the single after ‘What’s The Colour Of Money?’ and if you can’t remember how it goes, you’re not the only one. NOW gives us an opportunity to refresh our collective memories. This song peaked 40 places lower than the first single, at No 47.

4CD deluxe edition of Vault ’86

Other tracks include Nik Kershaw’s ‘Nobody Knows’ (No 44) and Howard Jones’ All I Want (No 35), both artists, like Paul Young, experimenting with new producers (in Nik’s case himself!) and it not really working out. The Thompson Twins‘ ‘Nothing in Common’ wasn’t released in the UK, but it didn’t trouble the upper reaches of the American chart when it was issued there (their previous two singles had been top 10 hits Stateside).

Three singles from Sting’s brilliant The Dream of the Blue Turtles album failed to get into the UK top 40 which seems crazy, and ‘Moon Over Bourbon Street‘, when issued as the fifth 45 (A&M were probably enthused because ‘Russians’ had reached No 12) was the last of them (No 44). Sting would have to wait until 1994 before chalking up a solo UK top 10 single (‘When We Dance’).

Tears For Fears make an appearance on Vault ’86, with a song that was both the first and last single from Songs From The Big Chair: ‘Mothers Talk‘. Included here is the US Mix, not issued in the UK. In America, it reached 27 which sounds decent, until you recall that the first three singles from the album were No 1, No 1 & No 3!. Roland Orzabal told this writer that he much preferred the version re-recorded for the North American market: “I always thought we got ‘Mothers Talk’ slightly wrong. It was a bit too fast. The US version worked really well, we were happy”. There’s plenty more interesting selections on this new compilation; scroll down for full tracklistings.

NOW Yearbook Vault ’86 will be released on 18 September 2026.

Roxy Music / For Your Pleasure reissue

3CD+DVD box set • Stunning SDE exclusive blu-ray • Quick pre-order

Roxy Music’s 1973 album, For Your Pleasure will be reissued in November in what represents the first major Roxy reissue campaign since the art-rocker’s eponymous debut was re-released back in 2017.

Regarded by many as their masterpiece; you could call it the ‘Godfather II” of studio albums, in that it’s at least as good as, if not better, than the first record. Their last long-player to feature Brian Eno, For Your Pleasure expands on what the band started a year earlier and features more elaborate production and experimentation.

Frontman Bryan Ferry remembers the expectations of delivering a second album:

It was a good pressure. Realising, now there’s an audience to write for. An intelligent audience. I felt a responsibility for the work that I hadn’t for the first album, certainly with regard to the lyrics. There 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. 

Bryan Ferry

Preceded by the non-album single ‘Pyjamarama‘ (the band’s second top 10 single in the UK), For Your Pleasure includes ‘Do The Strand’ which wasn’t issued in the UK as a single, but did get a limited release in Europe. Other highlights include ‘In Every Dream Home A Heartache‘ and the nine-minute ominous minimalism of ‘The Bogus Man‘.

The 2026 reissue is available as a 3CD+DVD box set, an SDE-exclusive blu-ray, alongside a 2CD edition and 2LP vinyl versions. As well as the album on CD 1, the box set features features a second CD of 20 unheard songwriting sketches recorded at home by Bryan Ferry, band rehearsals and studio outtakes newly mastered by John Webber at AIR Studios. A third CD is filled with live sessions, singles and instrumentals, including 14 previously unheard recordings. The DVD features rare TV and live performances from the 1972–1973 period, originally broadcast by the BBC, German and Swiss television networks.

The box set includes a 116-page book, complete with exclusive archive content, includes a 7000-word essay built from new interviews with the band, producers and creative team, and a 2500-word essay by Michael Bracewell. The book is illustrated with many rare and unpublished photographs, lyrics and work-in-progress lyric notes by Bryan Ferry, tape scans, tour dates, and a For Your Pleasure chronology. The book also includes an essay by Nick de Ville on Roxy Music’s visual world.

The SDE blu-ray is stunning: It includes a Dolby Atmos Mix of the original album by Bob Clearmountain, alongside 5.1, Stereo and Atmos Instrumentals (also by Clearmountain). Additionally, in a best-of-both-worlds type scenario, it also offers a Steven Wilson dedicated 5.1 Mix of For Your Pleasure and a flat transfer of the 1973 stereo mix from a copy of the original EQ’d production tapes captured at stunning 192 kHz / 24 bit resolution (a 48/24 is also available).

Audio streams on the For Your Pleasure SDE exclusive blu-ray:

  • For Your Pleasure – Bob Clearmountain 2026 Dolby Atmos Mix (48/24)
