if anyone is even remotely interested - there is one "head and shoulders above the rest value-wise" introduction to Roxy.
It's a Virgin UK import called "The Early Years". Remastered in HDCD by Bob Ludwig at Gateway Mastering Studios. Released in 2000.
It features the first three albums in excellent sound. I'd quibble a little bit about the selection. I'd have preferred "Grey Lagoons", "Serenade", "Just Like You" and "Amazona" over, perhaps, "The Bogus Man" and "Sunset". But that's just me - especially since it's over 79 minutes.

BTW, their 1972 composition "If There Is Something" was 30 or so years into the future. Amazing from start to finish. Daniel Craig utilized it as the "cement track" to his movie Flashbacks of a Fool. The ending of this film is a tearjerker with how the song reappeared at the conclusion.
