Avalon is the eighth and final studio album by the English rock band Roxy Music, released on 28 May 1982 by E.G. Records, and Polydor. It was recorded between 1981 and 1982 at Compass Point Studios in Nassau, Bahamas, and is regarded as the culmination of the smoother, more adult-oriented sound of the band's later work. It has been credited with pioneering the sophisti-pop genre.

The first single, "More Than This", preceded the album and was a top 10 hit in Britain, Australia, and several European countries. "Avalon", the second single, reached the top 20; "Take a Chance with Me" reached the top 30. In the United States, "More Than This" and "Take a Chance with Me" reached 103 and 104.

Avalon is Roxy Music's most successful studio album. It stayed at number one on the UK Albums Chart for three weeks, and stayed on the chart for over a year. Although it reached only No. 53 in the US, Avalon endured as a sleeper hit and became Roxy Music's lone million-selling US record, ultimately receiving platinum certification. While the band has toured periodically since the album's release, it remains their most recent studio album to date.

CD is in nice condition, a few visible marks on the disc itself, mainly on the edges, one of them affects the play of the music at all, this has been played through completely and it plays from beginning to end perfectly, and sounds great.

See the photos for all the details, the CD pictured in the photos is the exact one that you will receive, no stock photos here! eBay can be frustrating when it comes to buying CDs as most sellers just use a stock image of the cover, as a music lover myself I like to know exactly what I am getting, especially the condition so I take photos of the actual CD for all of my compact disc listings. So check out the images zoom in for the condition and the details and please message me if you have any questions at all, I'm happy to help.

Also this CD is from a smoke-free home and smoke free environment.

Shipping is USA only and this CD will be shipped via USPS Media Mail.

The cost of USPS Media Mail shipping is based on the total weight of the package and is not based on distance. The cost is automatically calculated when you are logged into your eBay account. The postage rate/amount is set by USPS, UPS, FedEx etc.

I take very good care in shipping the few items I sell safely and quickly, and I take pride in providing excellent service, as I'm mainly a buyer here who buys random stuff (sometimes too) impulsively on eBay and I know what it's like to have a seller that doesn't pack something well, or doesn't communicate, or waits a week or more to ship something you've purchased. So I try to give the excellent communication and service that I like to receive as a buyer. And while this isn't a job for me, and I don't sell a ton of items, I've has this eBay account since February 2000 and I do take it very seriously and will make sure your item has lots of photos, is described very truthfully and accurately, is packed well, and shipped fast and safely.

I'm happy to add signature confirmation, or any other service (at your cost, in most cases) if you have any problems with package delivery at your home or apartment. Please contact me ahead of time when possible, I'll get a cost for it and I'll be happy to set that up for you.

Lastly, I'm pretty open to offers, so if it's an option, send one! Or, put it on your watched items list and I'll send you an offer.
