Default Roxy: the Movie

This arrived a couple of days ago.
The track listing is different from the 'Roxy & Elsewhere" album (see first scan)


I felt compelled to scan the cover as the excuse for the forty year delay, doesn't make bad reading.
(see last two scans)



There is material that was featured in other DVD releases, such as 'Dub Room Special" and "A Token of His Extreme", however the beginning and the end, from which the record cover was based, is totally new. Including Napolean Murphy Brock having to sing "Pygmy Twilight" (in the extras) while being "eroticised" by Pamela Miller, as per Frank's instruction, before she goes onto 'titillating' both drummers and Ruth.

"Be Bop Tango" features a 'dance-a-thon' by members of the audience and 'Brenda' who Frank describes as "a professional harlot" who just finished entertaining the troops at Edwards Airforce Base. She is the bikini clad model on the original album release.

However if your expecting 'erotica', you're missing the point.

Tom Fowler (bass) appears to be chewing on a cigar, throughout, but is only seen to exhale once.
Oddly he appears, sans cigar in the second scan above.
Could be politically correct photo shop.

Unfortunately it doesn't contain "Village of the Sun" and some performances may differ from those on the record..
