NewsBryan Ferry / Retrospective: Selected Recordings 1973-2023
5CD deluxe set spans 50 years
BMG will release Retrospective: Selected Recordings 1973-2023 a new Bryan Ferry 5CD deluxe set that brings together his classic output with Island Records, Polydor, Virgin/E.G., and BMG, spanning a period of over 50 years..
This deluxe edition has themed CDs with the first offering a 20-track ‘Best Of‘, the second (‘Compositions‘) looks at album tracks and deep cuts, the third disc (‘Interpretations‘) shines a spotlight on Ferry’s cover versions while the fourth CD showcases music by that retro-jazz ensemble called ‘The Bryan Ferry Orchestra‘ (mostly taken from 2012’s The Jazz Age and Bitter-Sweet from 2018). The final disc (‘Rare and Unreleased‘) features 16 rarities and includes four previously unreleased tracks.
This is a large format 9″ x 9″ presentation, tastefully (as ever) art-directed by Bryan Ferry. The outer slipcase holds a 100-page hardcover book, featuring photos from across Ferry’s career. SDE has been told that this edition is extremely limited, but despite this, the price may raise a few eyebrows.
As well as the deluxe edition there are single CD and 2LP vinyl editions which both offer the 20-track ‘best of’ which is CD 1 of this five disc set (a clear vinyl 2LP set is available via indie shops, such as Rough Trade in the UK).
Retrospective: Selected Recordings 1973-2023 will be released on 25 October 2024, via BMG.
