About this deal

When Ferry was asked about the album, he said "Since I started work on the Taxi album, everything has gone great for me. Bryan Ferry’s eighth solo studio album Taxi is being repressed and made available for the first time on limited edition yellow vinyl.

The album will be available from November 25th 2022 on limited edition yellow vinyl, and on CD in a limited edition Japanese-style oversized card sleeve, with new artwork overseen by Bryan.He also revisits one of his biggest influence - The Velvet Underground - with a version of 'All Tomorrow's Parties', from their first album. I'm a huge Ferry fan but kinda stopped listening at just about the time this album came out-anyway, I've been going back and getting familiar with these later records and I gotta say, this one is right up there with his best.

The first 3 cuts are killer and there's only one let up, for me, on the entire CD and that's the title song-which is still excellent but in comparison to the other tracks, it's the my least favorite. As ‘Taxi’ nears its 30th anniversary in March 2023 we are reminded of Bryan Ferry’s long tradition of reimagining songs from across the history of music, free from the bounds of genre and time. com and send your item to: Last Night From Glasgow Limited , Glasgow Street, 23, Glasgow, G128JW, United Kingdom. Reviewing for Entertainment Weekly, critic David Browne wrote of the album: "Few of the remakes have the decadent, jaunty verve of his covers albums of the '70s. Select "Album" in the "Tipo" field, type "Bryan Ferry" in the "Artista" field, type "Taxi" in the "Titolo" field and press "cerca".Originally released in 1993, the album sees Ferry continue in his rich vein of sophisticated and contemporary cover versions of classic rock, pop and soul songs, forging his reputation as the greatest living interpreter of the popular song. The unlikely pairing of Ferry and bluesy guitarist Robin Trower works particularly well, the sound is full and atmospheric, and Ferry is in fine voice throughout. Recue Me' is cool, and I find his almost robotic take on the hymnal 'Amazing Grace' utterly mesmerising. Rob Sheffield wrote in his three-star review of the album that " Taxi is a consistently inspired set that ranges from 'Amazing Grace' to 'All Tomorrow's Parties. Taxi’ was produced by Bryan Ferry and British guitarist, Robin Trower, and features a cast of formidable supporting musicians including Nathan East, Steve Ferrone and the singer Carleen Anderson.

Whenthe album was originally released, in the early nineties, I played it a couple of times, and filed it, without it making a great impression on me. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. No rights societies appear on the artwork of this UK manufactured version unlike several similar European versions. We also do not accept products that are intimate or sanitary goods, hazardous materials, or flammable liquids or gases.

Finishing something I liked and getting back into singing again, getting away from my own writing temporarily was a good thing. But that's okay, since Ferry appears to be aiming for something else: beautifully eerie mood music for the lovesick vampire in us all. On 'Taxi', Ferry features songs largely from the pre-Beatles era of pop - a great, deeplly melancholic take on Elvis Presley's 'Girl of My Best Friend', a lovelorn 'Will You Love Me Tomorrow', and a spooky take on Screamin' Jay Hawkins' 'I Put A Spell On You'. Depending on where you live, the time it may take for your exchanged product to reach you, may vary. The sound is clearer and has more power from the first time it was put out , also if you love OLYMPIA you will love playing this CD .
