Released as Roxy Music's first single in August 1972, it's Plain as Virginia that this classic pop song should have been included on their first album. Just listen to that Moog!

Great single, it was recorded after the album was released, but was included on the CD version.
I seem to remember Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer doing an hilarious 'spoof' version on one of their TV shows.

Roxy over Phil. That Roxy Music debut is a five star affair as far as I'm concerned. Eno is something else here, so impressive.

I would have given Roxy's debut four stars if it had included Virginia Plain.

I honestly don't think I knew it was a bonus track when I reviewed it because it's the fourth track on the cd I have with no asterisk or anything beside it to tell me otherwise. It's a fun song but not a make it or break it by any means. |

Virginia Plain was included on the American version of Roxy Music's debut but didn't quite make it onto the British version, at least not until the Super Deluxe reissue in 2018.

Either Manza or Eno (don't like much Roxy's debut)
Most likely most of my votes in this series will go for either of them two. Fowever, FYP will be my choice most like for Chap 2

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |
