I heard Jobson's Theme of Secrets back in '85, before any of those other albums (a friend had Wetton/Manzanera), so that gets my vote.

For Your Pleasure, it's Strictly Confidential featuring Vincent Price. Oh, the horror, the horror! Morrissey once said he could only think of one truly great British album and that's For Your Pleasure.
 Heaven Knows He's Miserable Now that The Smiths never managed to achieve Roxy Music's level of success. Cry

Those 'Abominable Dr. Phibes films used to terrify me as a kid.

I was very appreciative of 'Navy Rum' girl Caroline Munro though! Tongue

I loved Caroline Munro and James Bond did too, apparently, when he said, "What a handsome craft. Such lovely lines", and he wasn't talking about her boat, with Ringo Starr's future wife Barbara Bach looking jealous in the background. Smile

Gary Numan signed her to his 'Numa' record label in 1984 and released this single.

Roger Moore might not have been quite so keen on Caroline Munro after she tried to kill him from a helicopter, at least up until the point where Anya (Barbara Bach) got her sweet revenge. Smile

I thought I'd vote for FYP, but it didn't need my help, so I went for 801

Not expecting to find much in later polls (never a Roxy fan)

Surprised the second 801 is not listed for the third chapter. It's got soooooo many new tracks that it should be considered a major release instead of a live album.

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
