Bryan Ferry’s ‘Retrospective’ available on SDE exclusive blu-ray audio

#34 in the SDE Surround Series

Bryan Ferry / Retrospective SDE exclusive blu-ray audio

Bryan Ferry’s recent Retrospective collection is now available in immersive Dolby Atmos, in full uncompressed quality, on blu-ray audio, as part of the ongoing SDE Surround Series.

The 20-track compilation offers the Roxy Music frontman’s classic solo output with Island Records, Polydor, Virgin/E.G., and BMG. It features eight top 40 UK hits including ‘A Hard Rain’s a-Gonna Fall’, ‘Let’s Stick Together’, ‘Slave to Love’, ‘Don’t Stop The Dance’ and more. 

Ferry’s wonderfully produced music is perfect for Dolby Atmos (or 5.1) and legendary producer/mixer Bob Clearmountain (who mixed Bryan’s 1985 album Boys and Girls) has done an incredible job with Dolby Atmos and 5.1 mixes of all 20 tracks, including those aforementioned classics, and songs such as ‘Kiss and Tell’ (from Bête Noire), ‘I Put A Spell On You’ (from Taxi) and ‘Your Painted Smile’ from Mamouna.

Additionally, this blu-ray features bonus content in the form of the 16 ‘Rare and Unreleased’ songs from the fifth disc of the Retrospective: Selected Recordings 1973-2023 deluxe package, released in October. These are stereo only.

The SDE exclusive blu-ray of Bryan Ferry’s Restrospective

The SDE exclusive blu-ray features the following audio streams:

  • Bob Clearmountain Dolby Atmos Mix [exclusive physical release]
  • Bob Clearmountain 5.1 Mix (48/24) [exclusive]
  • Original Stereo Mix (48/24)
  • 16 ‘Rare and Unreleased’ bonus tracks (stereo only) (48/24)

The blu-ray is presented in deluxe rigid board packaging, the same as used for Richard Wright’s Wet Dream blu-ray last year, and the imminent Thompson Twins Into The Gap SDE blu-ray – not the usual amaray case. However, this will ship with a collectible SDE slipcase and the dimensions are virtually identical.

This Bryan Ferry Retrospective release is a region-free blu-ray audio and is #34 in the ongoing SDE Surround Series. Don’t miss out. This product is a limited edition and the pre-order window closes on 5 December 2024. Availability cannot be guaranteed after that date, so secure your copy today by pre-ordering at the SDE shop, either directly via this link or using the special SDE shop buy button below. We ship worldwide.

This Bryan Ferry Retrospective blu-ray release is a collaboration between SDE and BMG and will be released on 31 January 2025.


TECHNICAL NOTES: This blu-ray audio requires a blu-ray player. Decoding the Dolby Atmos mix requires a Dolby Atmos-certified soundbar or a Dolby Atmos-compatible AV Receiver/Amp. The Dolby Atmos mix will ‘fold down’ to 5.1 or stereo if a Dolby Atmos decoder is not detected. This product contains no video.
