Product Description

Written with the assistance, for the first time, of all of those involved, including Bryan Ferry, Brian Eno, Andy Mackay and Phil Manzanera; the fashion designer Antony Price, the founding guru of pop art, and Bryan Ferry's tutor, Richard Hamilton, and many more, "Roxy" is also the account of how pop art, the avant garde underground of the 1960s, and the heady slipstream of London in the sixties was transformed into the fashion cults of revivalism, nostalgia and pop futurism in the early 1970s.

Re-make/Re-model: Becoming "Roxy Music"

This is an excellent book, but it's worth pointing out that this is the paperback edition of 'Remake/Remodel' which came out last year in hardback. The book has been retitled, presumably to make it appear to be a biography of Roxy Music. It isn't. The narrative ends before the release of the band's first record. Instead it's about Bryan Ferry, Brian Eno and Andy Mackay growing up and attending art school, and about the cultures of pop art, music and fashion as the influenced them in the 50s and 60s. I found it fascinating, albeit lacking any critical edge, but I don't want people to be misled by the title, cover and marketing into believing this is about Roxy Music's success - their albums, tours etc. That would be another book.
