Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones liked Roxy Music so much his first band was named after one of their songs. Strange then that punk came along and made all that vintage glamour look a bit old, and not in a good way.
Re-make/Re-model is the story of how art, fashion and music combined to create Roxy Music, a group that Bryan Ferry said was ‘above all, a state of mind.’  In 1972 Roxy Music released their first album and Re-make/Re-model explores the years leading up to it; years that saw the dissolution of the boundaries between ‘high’ and ‘low’ art forms and the application of ideas within fine art and the avante garde to the making of mainstream popular culture. 
In describing the birth of the band, Remake/Remodel also follows  British Pop art, born in the fine arts departments of Newcastle and Reading universities, from post-war austerity to ’60s London. The unprecedented access Bracewell had to Ferry, Brian Eno, Phil Manzanera and Andy Mackay creates a fascinatingly detailed look at one of the most original groups of its time.
