roxy music \" virginia plain \" 2021 sound...
\"Virginia Plain\" is a song by English rock band Roxy Music, released as their debut single in August 1972. Written by Roxy frontman Bryan Ferry, the song was recorded by the band in July 1972 at London's Command Studios.
\"Virginia Plain\" features bass guitarist Rik Kenton, who joined after Graham Simpson left the band. It begins with a deceptively quiet introduction, followed by an instant increase of volume as soon as the vocals come in on the first verse.
Former art student Ferry took the title \"Virginia Plain\" from one of his own paintings, featuring an image of cigarette packaging - \"Virginia Plain\" is a variety of cigarette tobacco.
Phil Manzanera's guitar solo was improvised. He later claimed he played the first thing that came into his head.
