#64: Bryan Ferry / Taxi SDE exclusive blu-ray audio

Bryan Ferry's eighth solo album, Taxi, is now available to pre-order as a limited edition SDE exclusive blu-ray audio.

Originally released in 1993, the album sees Ferry continue in his rich vein of sophisticated and contemporary cover versions of classic rock, pop and soul songs, forging his reputation as the greatest living interpreter of the popular song.
