Roxy Music on gold vinyl

Roxy Music’s 1976 live album *Viva!* is getting a limited 50th-anniversary return on gold vinyl for Record Store Day 2026. (bryanferry.com) The new edition is scheduled for Saturday, April 18, 2026, and Bryan Ferry’s store says it will be sold exclusively through independent retailers. The listed price starts at £31.99, with a note that retail prices may vary. (bryanferry.com) Band channels are pitching the release as a collector item, and the social-media promotion includes a fold-out poster alongside the gold LP. The official Record Store Day site says the 2026 event falls on April 18 and is built around limited runs sold through participating indie shops. (x.com) (recordstoreday.com) *Viva!* was originally released in 1976 as Roxy Music’s first live album. The band’s official site says it was assembled from performances recorded between 1973 and 1975 and works as an “alternative greatest hits” document of the group’s first phase. (roxymusic.co.uk) The track list pulls from three United Kingdom venues: Glasgow Apollo, Newcastle City Hall and Wembley Empire Pool. The official album page lists eight songs, including “Pyjamarama,” “Both Ends Burning” and “In Every Dream Home a Heartache.” (roxymusic.co.uk) The timing fits a broader anniversary campaign around the band’s catalog. Roxy Music’s official store has also been selling a 50th-anniversary vinyl edition of “Love Is The Drug,” released in December 2025. (roxymusic.lnk.to) Record Store Day has become a regular route for heritage acts to move deluxe physical editions through specialist shops. The organizers say the event began in 2008 and now centers on participating independent stores in the United States and abroad.
