Thanks for posting, Robertron, although perhaps the writer's style doesn't make for particularly easy reading (I know it has been said that you won't find many thick Roxy fans, but I think some writers can be prone to over-intellectualising their music, rather than just enjoying it).
At the risk of being nominated for the Queen's Award For Pedantry, there are a couple of factual errors there; most notably, Marilyn Cole had graced the cover of Stranded, but had no involvement with Country Life.
As for the band's US record labels, the debut LP and Virginia Plain were released on Reprise, before their successors (FYP and Do The Strand, rather than Pyjamarama) were issued by the "parent" company Warner Bros.; subsequent albums (until Avalon, which was back on Warners) appeared on the ATCO subsidiary, rather than the main Atlantic label.
