"Roxy Music captures the intoxicating rush of desire, danger, and chasing unforgettable moments" "The Thrill of It All" ROXY MUSIC Country Life (1974) Country Life is the fourth studio album by the English art rock band Roxy Music, released on 15 November 1974. Many critics consider the album to be among the band's most sophisticated and consistent. Country Life peaked at number 3 on the UK albums chart. It also charted at number 37 in the US, becoming their first record to crack the top 40 in the country. The opening track, "The Thrill of It All", is an uptempo rocker that builds on the style of previous Roxy Music songs such as "Virginia Plain" (1972) and "Do the Strand" (1973). Shot by Eric Boman, the Country Life cover features two scantily clad models, Constanze Karoli (sister of Can's Michael Karoli[6]) and Eveline Grunwald (who was also Michael Karoli's girlfriend). The cover image was controversial in some countries, including the United States and Spain, where it was censored for release. Instead of Karoli and Grunwald posed in front of some trees, the reissue used a photo from the album's back cover that featured only the trees. ----- Roxy Music – Country Life (The 4th Roxy Music Album) Label: Island Records – 88 370 XOT Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Stereo Country: Germany Released: 1974 Genre: Rock Style: Glam A1 The Thrill Of It All A2 Three And Nine A3 All I Want Is You A4 Out Of The Blue A5 If It Takes All Night B1 Bitter-Sweet B2 Triptych B3 Casanova B4 A Really Good Time B5 Prairie Rose Record Company – Ariola Eurodisc GmbH Copyright © – Island Records Ltd.
