Bryan Ferry has announced Retrospective: Selected Recordings 1973-2023 , a wide-spanning box set that celebrates 50 years of the artist’s career. To accompany the announcement, the Roxy Music member also unveiled a cover of Bob Dylan’s “She Belongs to Me,” which previews a series of upcoming digital EPs. Listen to the new cut below.
Due out on October 25th and boasting 81 tracks, Retrospective: Selected Recordings 1973-2023 collects Ferry’s output with Island Records, Polydor, Virgin, E.G. Records, and BMG. The set covers 16 of his solo albums and features two new recordings, including “Star,” Ferry’s first new original material since 2014.
The collection will be available digitally and in a variety of physical formats, including a 5xCD edition that comes complete with a 100-page hardback book of liner notes and photography. The first disc serves as a greatest hits compilation, with the second disc exploring the development of his compositional skills and the third covering the best of his covers. Disc four then focuses on his grander, more conceptual, orchestrated works, while disc five gathers B-sides, extras, curiosities, and outtakes.
Also available will be an abridged 2xLP/single-CD version, which includes the tracks from the first disc of the box set. Pre-order a copy here , and see the full tracklist of the deluxe edition below.
To kick off the retrospective, Ferry has shared his rendition of Bob Dylan’s “She Belongs to Me,” which is housed on the five-track Retrospective: She Belongs to Me EP. The EP, which is out now, is the first of three digital releases that are set to arrive alongside the box set. Check out the tracklist for the Retrospective: She Belongs to Me EP below, and listen now via Apple Music .
Ferry’s most recent studio album was 2018’s Bitter-Sweet . In 2022, he released the covers EP Love Letters , and last year he re-issued Mamouna (pick up a copy here ). He also led a Roxy Music reunion in 2022. Revisit our conversation with Roxy Music guitarist Phil Manzanera here .
