Retrospective: Selected Recordings 1973-2023 provides the first ever comprehensive career retrospective to fully explore the depth and breadth of Bryan Ferry as a solo artist. It brings together for the first time his classic output with Island Records, Polydor, Virgin/E.G., and BMG and brings the story right up to date, spanning a period of over 50 years.

This compilation showcases his skill both as a writer of original classics and reflects his status as the greatest interpreter of other writers material. It also draws out the sonic versatility of Bryan Ferry as a solo artist from rock n roll to sophisticated adult pop; from R&B and dance-based grooves to piano ballads; from electronica to ambient; from jazz to country, folk, blues and avant-garde new wave. At the centre of it all is the unique sound and style of Bryan Ferry, an artist who has remained relevant, interesting and unmistakably himself.

Retrospective: Selected Recordings 1973-2023 is presented in a suite of products that have been co-curated and thoughtfully art directed by Bryan Ferry. It features a selection of stunning photos from across his career, taken by some of the most iconic photographers in the rock paradigm including Anton Corbijn, Mick Rock, Pennie Smith and Brian Aris.

The CD and double LP formats provide the perfect entry point for people who are curious about Bryan Ferrys music, and offers a wider perspective to those who are familiar. Furthermore the 5CD super deluxe boxset offers the deepest dive into Bryans career ever, including rarities, unreleased recordings and a 100-page book with extensive liner notes and much more exquisite photography.”
