Album Type: Original recording reissued, Original recording remastered Country Life For Your Pleasure (5 out of 5 stars) After years of being a Roxy fan and never being able to find a copy of this album, I finally purchased it on vinyl.
I love it.
It puzzles me how every critic basically says its a cow patty.
If you are like me and have read many reviews calling it their disco album (whatever that means..seriously, listen to it)
