Roxy Music Share Unreleased Demo of Pyjamarama

Roxy Music have shared a previously unreleased early demo of Pyjamarama from the upcoming expanded reissue of their album For Your Pleasure. Titled Pyjamarama – guitar & vocal, the recording is the earliest known version of the 1973 single and has not been heard for over 50 years. Featuring only Bryan Ferry's voice and acoustic guitar, the recording documents the first time the Roxy Music frontman wrote a song using this instrument. Pyjamarama was originally released in March 1973 as a standalone single and reached number 10 on the UK singles chart.

Roxy Music also shared a newly recovered recording of their performance of Pyjamarama on Top Of The Pops from March 1973. The tape had been missing from the BBC archive and was recently found in mobile disco DJ Roger Hill's collection.

The expanded reissue of For Your Pleasure was first announced in August, when the band shared an unheard 1971 demo of Grey Lagoons. Arriving on November 6 via UMR/Island EMI, the Super Deluxe edition consists of three CDs and one DVD. Released in March 1973, For Your Pleasure was Roxy Music's second studio album and the last album to feature Eno as a band member. Roxy Music last reunited in 2022 for a 50th anniversary tour.
