AMG REVIEW: The first compilation to attempt an all-encompassing overview of Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music's career, Street Life was originally released in 1986, four years on from the band's break-up. And, across four sides of vinyl, it represented one of the most lovingly compiled tombstones any band could receive. Subsequent compilations have, of course, undermined it a little, but still it's difficult to criticize a collection that wraps up every significant hit single that the two parties enjoyed, from "Virginia Plain" and the oft-overlooked "Pyjamarama" through to "Jealous Guy" and "Avalon," via "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall" and "Slave to Love." The packaging is distinctive, with tempting stills from long-ago TV appearances mingling with all the relevant LP sleeves, and if you should ever be looking for a one-stop reminder of the combo's unerring brilliance, this is it.

DETAILED CD PACKING & RELATED INFO:
Thick double sets count as 2 CD's for shipping but double CD's in slim cases count as just one CD if there is no outer box on them), box sets & multi discs shipping will be in the description. I send first class CD's usually in bubble mailers & put thick plastic 4 mil sleeves on them (if they aren't shrink wrapped already) & also slide in a thin piece of cardboard most the time, they are less likely to crack that way. I replace most of the jewel cases on stuff that isn't really clean before I send them out so they tend to lo-ok brand new. I also offer cheaper shipping overseas shipping without the jewel cases (see my shipping rate page in my ebay store for current rates).
Cutouts/promo marks/inserts & stuff like that is listed in the description if it applies. The ebay generated info is mainly for track listings, sometimes the pressing date or country is off, I do my best in the first paragraph description to state if it is a different pressing or country of orgin or other things than ebays info which may contradict some parts of the actual CD I've listed (track listing itself will be accurate in MY description though).
