Roxy Music's self-titled debut album was released in the UK in June 1972 on Island Records [ILPS 9200]. Despite the reservations of some at Island, once the deal had been made it was clear that the band were causing something of a stir with certain influential journalists, particularly Richard Williams of the Melody Maker. They had also landed a couple of John Peel Sessions on BBC Radio 1. The album was released in separate editions across an unusually large number of territories compared with some other Island releases of that year, including the US, New Zealand, Brazil, Scandinavia and Japan, and in the UK it charted at number ten. In the UK and New Zealand the album was also released by Island on cassette [ZCI 9200 and IL-24630, respectively].
