Avalon was Roxy Music's last album released in 1982. The song "More Than This" was a minor hit, especially on the college radio circuit. It is number 307 on the List of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
The lush arrangements and synthesizer drenched sound of Avalon later found it's way onto Bryan Ferry's solo follow-up album Boys And Girls (1985)
In 2003, Virgin reissued Avalon on SACD with a new 5.1-channel surround sound remix. The surround sound SACD layer also included bonus track "Always Unknowing".
