Roxy Music - Avalon (Ruud's Extended Edit)

"Avalon" is the eighth and last studio album by the British band Roxy Music. The album is generally regarded as the culmination of the smoother, more adult-oriented sound of the band's later work. It was the band's most successful studio album. I took the title song and edited a bit. Thus creating an extended version. No copyright infringement intended. Enjoy!

Avalon is in California on the island of Santa Catalina...this sure takes me back home in the 1970s and 1980s...i played this to death...it is now 2024.. Roxy Music 🎵🎶 and Avalon is still Hot 🔥... anyone listening 🎧 with me to this great song in 2024😮

[@afitzsimons]

Avalon is in England.

I could listen to this song 10 million times and never ever tire of hearing it just perfection

[@arunnarway5064]

yes right

[@ozziejohn571]

Agreed

[@nickname9019]

This song is a masterpiece

[@flavio2727]

I heard many times Avalon. But mostly because of that lovely blondie. She is Martha Jane Ladly a Canadian academic, designer and musician. She is Professor of Design, at OCAD University.

[@afitzsimons]

Miming badly but lovely looking. She also worked with Peter Gabriel.

[@kevinvoss509]

Incredible voice from female singer

[@fturla___156]

This is the type of song I think about when dressing to the nines. Formal, elegant, upper class eloquence that you strive for when you are going out to a special occasion. It's a certain mindset and feeling that you want and desire to be in that you are doing more than okay.

[@NinaNavaPhotographyHairDesign]

never get bored with roxy music so beautiful

[@charleswagner2984]

Oh my God! What an amazing version of an awesome song. I never heard this extended mix before today. I always felt Avalon was too short for its greatness. This version feels about right. But I'll still have to play it again every time I play this. Love it.

[@RuudMixer]

[@jkhavern]

She sounds like an angel.

[@olde4eyes]

Now the party's over I'm so tired Then I see you coming Out of nowhere Much communication in a motion Without conversation or a notion Avalon When the samba takes you Out of nowhere And the background's fading Out of focus Yes the picture's changing Every moment And your destination You don't know it Avalon Dancing, dancing Dancing, dancing When you bossanova There's no holding Would you have me dancing Out of nowhere Avalon

[@jameshemphill-q1x]

This song gives you goosebumps

[@nizammohammed8112]

The blonde. What a voice. I think i love her. UNOS DE LOS MEJORES TEMAS DE LOS 80´S,....

[@oioiman84]

Martha Ladly, a Canadian from the band Martha and The Muffins and also The Associates, from Scotland (great band too). She did not sing on the Avalon album though, that was a Haitian singer named Yanick Étienne, who Ferry heard singing in the next studio (Compass Point in the Bahamas) and invited her to record with them. In the actual official video for the song, the girl who Ferry dances with and is captivated by is a teenage Sophie Ward, a top supermodel and actress who left her husband and came out as a lesbian in the 1990's.

I want to go back to the 80s but a few current artists i need to bring with

[@JamesJohnson-zc1cr]

That is one awesome edit Ruud! Many thanks. It is probably my favourite track of all time.

[@davidtullock123]

I know I have commented on this before but I keep coming back to it, these haunting lyrics especially from thefemale backing singer who I am madly in love with, take you to a place you never want to come from, I had all of roxy musics albums on vinyl which I lost after my divorce, I replaced most of them afterwards then made the mistake of lending some to a friend many years ago including avalon and siren who forgot to return them before emigrating to new zealand, I again replaced them this time on CD, but for some obscure reason a year or so ago my avalon stopped playing which at the time didnt bother me but after watching this fo so many times I have now bought a new CD

[@RobinBoBobbin]

Yanick Étienne. No idea who this weird, toothy blonde is but she is not the backup voice to Avalon, and she looks like she's lip syncing, and badly at that. Sadly Ms. Étienne passed in March of 2022.
