Post Description

Roxy Music announced to the music press in November 1978 that they are to work together for the first time in 3 years. 

The resulting album 'Manifesto' released on 16th March 1979 has an East Side and West side instead of the traditional side one and two. The sleeve credits only seven musicians, but over the years information on the sessions suggests that several other musicians played on the album. Drummer Paul Thompson didn't play drums on all the tracks with some drum/percussion duties taken up by Steve Ferrone & Rick Marrota and Richard Tee played piano on some songs. Luther Vandross did some backing vocals although this was not credited on the sleeve.
