25 oktober verschijnt de nieuwe boxset “Retrospective: Selected Recordings 1973-2023” van Bryan Ferry. Een mooi overzicht van de solocarrière van deze levende legende. Afhankelijk van je muziekinstallatie en de inhoud van je portemonnee kun je kiezen voor een Greatest Hits compilatie op CD of Vinyl, of je kunt groots uitpakken met de aanschaf van een super deluxe editie bestaande uit 5 CD’s (81 nummers) en een dubbel LP (Greatest Hits). Kies je voor deze uitgebreide versie, dan krijg je niet alleen hits, covers, alternatieve versies (met The Bryan Ferry Orchestra), maar ook 4 nieuwe nummers (op CD) en een fraai bijbehorend fotoboek. Van de nieuwe nummers zijn Star en She Belongs To Me reeds online te beluisteren. Als Vinyl liefhebber zul je het moeten doen met een dansje op oa Let’s Stick Together en Slave to love. (Said Ait Abbou)
