Lotssa great musicians on those early ENO lp's mentioned before... I had never heard of fred Frith, most of the roxy folks are on them too ! great catchy lyrics and song titles as well ' I'll come running to tie your shoe' . I even remember phil collins playing on one of the lp's. A truely wonderful learning expierence for me. Thanks, Stu np: A.

But I love those first four records. If you play vinyl, seek them out on British Island pressings, or slightly later British Polydors. Eno's role was most pronounced on the first album and was reduced on the second (except primarily, I think, on the long "Bogus Man" and his untrained soloing on "Editions of You"). Also, anybody who likes those early Roxy albums should hear Eno's first four: Here Come the Warm Jets, Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy, Another Green World, and Before and After Science. Although Robert Fripp never appeared on a Roxy album, he is on all of these except for Tiger Mountain. The best vinyl is again the early British stuff, but these are all available in many pressings and CD releases.
