Roxy Music - Jealous Guy (extended mix) ♫HQ♫

The full and extended longplay version of Jealous Guy by Roxy Music, the band's only UK number 1. The single edit just did not do this song justice, and an eargasm is guaranteed when you listen to Ferry on the keyboards during the instrumental piece at the end of the song.....

Good cover

[@yogi9631]

Very rare that a remake sounding better than the original. This is one of them. I remember this extended long version just once back in the early 80's when I was a small kid (10 yrs old) and I haven't forgotten it.

The extended version is on utube I've heard it a few times

This is the last track I want playing at my funeral , my parents said everytime it came on the radio 📻 or tv 📺 I just stood still (I was born March 1980 so was barely a 1 or 2 when this was on those stations) now everytime I hear it im transported to a careless world knowing I'm around folk that love me and now folk are slowly leaving me I'm just a jealous guy

[@maurojuliano7698]

John had a very good voice, Brian simply stellar....

[@richardschon341]

The best remake ever made! Much better than the original. Bryan Ferry is a God-given Voice

[@ryanking7787]

What I love about this version is the respect shown by Roxy Music towards both the song and John Lennon.

[@patrickstevenson9775]

3:48 the start of an elevating 2 minutes 20 seconds mix of synthesizer, piano, electric guitar and whistle outro mastery. Epic and Brilliant!

[@kevingill648]

One of the best cover versions I've ever heard, better than the original IMO, I could listen to it for hours! especially the outro.

"I was dreaming of the past..." and found myself again on that empty road in southern Brazil, early 2000s. My father would play this song (from an old CD he had) during our trips to the countryside and would whistle along with Mr. Ferry. Bless your soul, old man! You keep me on the go!

[@ianhigh4986]

Just loving the extended ending. How the music of today could ever match the emotions of it.

The fade out from 3 minutes onwards is my favourite part of any song........Ever.

[@dahooliii]

One of the most beautiful ballads ever.

[@pix046]

One of the rare instances where the cover version was better than the original and it was a big ask.

[@booopdooop]

Agreed, the only thing I'd add from the Lennon version is that stunning one beat of the snare drum as Lennon begins whistling (mid-way through the song) but the Roxy Music version is a landmark in synth-electro music and far superior in terms of production.

[@charlesdunfield3715]

IMO all or all of the cover versions Brian Ferry has done were better than the original..this one..."Smoke gets in your Eyes", "Those Foolish things"..to name a few.....to out do or even come close to a John Lennon classic is an achievement in itself

[@worldaff]

@@charlesdunfield3715 Couldn't have said it better!

[@truthhitman7473]

No way does Brian Ferry sing this better than John Lennon LOL

[@sergiosuarez3936]

I definitely think this version is much better than the original .. sorry Lennon

[@Amondotco]

This song will never die. The extended bit at the end screams powerful emotion.

[@dazton]

Such a beautiful dramatic ending with the whistling, synths and guitar, they all blend together to make such an emotional sound, I prefer this to the original, it's modern yet retro, great band with a unique lead singer.

[@Vin-nx1pb]

Don’t forget the drummer and the bass player who you can hear in the background, the unsung heroes 😊

[@sergiosuarez3936]

I thank God for having been able to listen to Brian Ferry live singing this version when he came to Buenos Aries Argentina, the most beautiful song of roxy music

[@fairplayjd]

Could play the outro over and over!! Music as it should be, homage to the original, along with putting their own stamp on it Perfect cover version, and I believe it to be the best cover ever alongside A'Ha's Crying in the rain!

[@fairplayjd]

Totally agree!! Wonderful covers!

[@robtyman4281]

What about David Bowie's version of 'Wild is the Wind' (original by Nina Simone)? For me it vies with Roxy's version of 'Jealous Guy' as my all time favourite cover. Both are utterly exquisite, haunting, and mind-blowingly good. Both far outstrip the respective originals. Also check out Marvin Gaye's version of 'Yesterday'. Best eve cover of that song imo.

[@loscantos]

one of the most beutiful songs ever written and played, and roxy music cover is pure genious.

The song gives me chills, Ferry's voice is beautiful, and I do think John Lennon would've told him he loves Roxy Music's cover of Jealous Guy

[@tonydoherty2190]

Lennon wouldn't have told him he liked it let alone loved it his ego was bigger than liverpool

[@JD-eq4dp]

Roxy Music may not have recorded it if Lennon had not been murdered. It was recorded as a tribute to the great man. Both versions are great. The original will always set the mark & this cover is way up there too.

[@sourcreampudding]

I first heard this as a 5 year old when it came out and obviously I had no clue what it was about at that age but I liked the sound and then a few years later I bought a Bryan Ferry/Roxy Music greatest hits cassette and found this version on it. Probably my no 1 tune👍

Steve - many thanks for this - I have the self same 45 in my loft and have often wondered where the extended 'whistling end' has gone when listening to other versions on You Tube.

This is probably blasphemy on some level, but wonderful as John Lennon's original is, - I prefer this version. Probably because Roxy were sincere in their admiration of the late, great man when they released it. Whatever, I always thought, [and still think] this is delicious.
