Always Unknowing (originally a b-side to the Avalon single) Originally released in 1982, 'Avalon' was the 8th and final studio album by Roxy Music. The album went straight to no. 1 in the UK (for 3 weeks) and became their biggest success in the U.S. (no. 27) where it went gold and eventually reached platinum status. It also spawned some of the band’s most commercially accessible singles 'More Than This', 'Avalon' and 'Take A Chance With Me'. To celebrate the 21st anniversary of this ‘classic’ album, Virgin Records have remixed the album to SACD 5.1 surround format and remastered it using DSD converters, to bring the most amazing audio experience achievable. The SACD packaging will also include a 12 page booklet with new liner notes by Rhett Davies (original producer) and Bob Clearmountain (original mix engineer) plus previously unseen / rarely seen photos of the band from the 'Avalon' years. *DSD (Direct Stream Digital) Encoding – is the technology used to record and produce audio content on the SACD. DSD is a 1-bit representation of the audio waveform with 2.8224Mhz of sampling. This allows SACD to achieve its unprecedented audio quality allowing it to reproduce audio better than any other digital or analog technology. We are also looking at releasing 'The Best of Roxy Music' on SACD on the same Day
