Details

A great selection of Roxy's BBC radio sessions in good quality stereo. This record was re-released as a limited edition of 500 copies and retitled ENO/ROXY (Eli Records), it came with a cassette of Eno outtakes from 'Music For Films' and Roxy Music's Musikladen performances of 1973.

There was a later inferior American re-release of this bootleg in a plain white sleeve ink stamped with the details, and with a paper tracklist insert.
