Siren

about this album

Siren is the fifth album by British Art Rock band Roxy Music, recorded June 1975–September 1975 in the AIR Studios, London and released on 24 October 1975 by Island. The album was ranked number 371 on Rolling Stone magazine's 2003 list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. Cover art The cover features bandmember Bryan Ferry's then-girlfriend, model Jerry Hall, on rocks near South Stack, Anglesey. Graham Hughes, working during August 1975, took the cover photo directly below the central span of the bridge on a south-side slope. He worked from sketches produced by Antony Price, with photography featuring Hall striking various poses. The idea for the location was Bryan Ferry's, after he saw a TV documentary about lava flows and rock formations in Anglesey, in which South Stack was heavily featured. Tracklist Side one 1.
