Released in 1973, Stranded marked a pivotal moment for Roxy Music as the band's first album without co-founder Brian Eno. Under Bryan Ferry's direction, the group evolved toward a richer, more layered sound, weaving together heavy guitars and lush piano arrangements while retaining the band's signature unpredictability. AllMusic praised the record for its "measured material" that remains "unsettling on occasion," a testament to Roxy Music's ability to defy easy categorization.

Stranded is widely regarded as one of Roxy Music's finest achievements, bolstered by standout tracks like "Mother of Pearl" and the epic "Psalm," which showcase the band's remarkable range and Bryan Ferry's commanding vocal performances. This 2022 reissue was remastered and cut half-speed from the original quarter-inch tapes at the legendary Abbey Road Studios, pressed on 180g heavyweight vinyl, and presented in a gatefold sleeve complete with a lyric inner sleeve — making it a worthy addition to any serious record collection.
