Andy Mackay will release a DVD of last year's Roxymphony show:

Orchestral re-imaginings of Roxy classics • Signed exclusively for SDE

This December Roxy Music legends Andy Mackay and Phil Manzanera will release Roxymphony, a special CD+DVD deluxe bookset that features live recordings (and video) from a one-of concert on London’s Southbank in November 2018.

The music features ‘re-imaginings’ of Roxy Music classics – including ‘In Every Dream Home A Heartache’, ‘Love Is The Drug’ and ‘More Than This’ – performed live on stage with an orchestra, the 19-strong Owl Parliament choir and of course Andy Mackay and Phil Manzanera. The orchestral arrangements themselves were created by Lucy Wilkins, Ray Russell and Andy Mackay.

Andy MacKay & Phil Manzanera / Roxymphony CD+DVD deluxe edition

Orchestral re-imaginings of Roxy classics • Signed exclusively for SDE

This December Roxy Music legends Andy Mackay and Phil Manzanera will release Roxymphony, a special CD+DVD deluxe bookset that features live recordings (and video) from a one-of concert on London’s Southbank in November 2018.

The music features ‘re-imaginings’ of Roxy Music classics – including ‘In Every Dream Home A Heartache’, ‘Love Is The Drug’ and ‘More Than This’ – performed live on stage with an orchestra, the 19-strong Owl Parliament choir and of course Andy Mackay and Phil Manzanera. The orchestral arrangements themselves were created by Lucy Wilkins, Ray Russell and Andy Mackay.

In Andy Mackay’s words Roxymphony “was an idea that came from the fabulous possibilities of using orchestral strings and other instruments. It was incredibly exciting for me to assemble all the musicians and to perform with Phil.”

Manzanera shares Andy’s enthusiasm: “it was great to be back on stage with Andy Mackay presenting Roxy’s music in a new context.  It was a revelation to us all how well-suited the songs were to being orchestrated.”

The planned Roxymphony tour was sadly cancelled (on Andy’s doctor’s orders) so this really is a document of a unique event and the icing on the cake is that the SDE shop has an exclusive edition signed by both Andy Mackay and Phil Manzanera.

This comes packaged as a deluxe DVD-sized hardcover 20-page book edition featuring a CD of the recordings along with a DVD of the video from the night. The book includes notes from Andy and photos from the evening. Please note the DVD is PAL region 0, so please check compatibility (especially in the USA) to avoid disappointment.

The Roxymphony signed CD+DVD deluxe sets are only available via SDE using this link or the button below and will ship on or around 6 December 2019.
