For Your Pleasure

First released1973

For Your Pleasure, Roxy Music's second album, was recorded in 1973 at multiple London studios including Air Studios and Town House Studios. The album was produced by Chris Thomas and the band itself, with engineer Richard Branson's Virgin Records team providing technical support. The production featured innovative use of synthesizers and studio techniques characteristic of early 1970s progressive rock, with Brian Eno's contributions on synthesizer and treatments being central to the album's distinctive sound. The recording sessions took place during a period of significant creative momentum for the band, following the success of their 1972 debut, and the album showcased more sophisticated arrangements and studio experimentation than its predecessor. For Your Pleasure was released in March 1973 and became a commercial and critical success, establishing Roxy Music as innovators in art rock production.
