We are told .....
In a world of lavish, expensive box sets, you might expect Roxy Music's 40th anniversary package to be the most lavish of the lot. But there's no luxurious booklet full of pictures; no illuminating accompanying essay by their most ardent chronicler, Michael Bracewell; no sumptuous cover photo of an Anthony Price-styled model: just 10 CDs in a box – the last two padding out Roxy's three essential non-album singles with profoundly inessential B-sides, remixes and so on – its cover artwork thriftily recycled from a 1981 collection, The First Seven Albums.
