Continuing with the stylistic developments of Stranded, Country Life finds Roxy Music at the peak of their powers, alternating between majestic, unsettling art rock and glamorous, elegant pop/rock.
At their best, Roxy combine these two extremes, like on the exhilarating opener "The Thrill of It All," but Country Life benefits considerably from the ebb and flow of the group's two extremes, since it showcases their deft instrumental execution and their textured, enthralling songwriting.
And, in many ways, Country Life offers the greatest and most consistent set of Roxy Music songs, illustrating their startling depth. From the sleek rock of "All I Want Is You" and "Prairie Rose" to the elegant, string-laced pop of "A Really Good Time," Country Life is filled with thrilling songs, and Roxy Music rarely sounded as invigorating as they do here

Both surfaces shine like-new and are unmarked bar a tiny, harmless scuff on "The Thrill Of It All"
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
My play-check at loud volume found practically nothing to fault - an occasional one-off light tick/touch of low-level surface between tracks noted but I did not clean this copy as it looks so immaculate so these will no doubt disappear after a clean/few spins
SLEEVE: NEAR MINT
The sleeve is again, practically as-new - crisp, clean and fresh with a deep glossy sheen
INNER SLEEVE: EXCELLENT+
Apart from some light handling creases to the extremities the inner is clean and unmarked - no seam splits
