}} ''Manifesto'' is the sixth studio album by the English rock band Roxy Music. It was released in March 1979 by E.G. in the UK, Polydor in Europe and by Atco Records in the US Following an almost four-year recording hiatus, ''Manifesto'' was Roxy Music's first studio album since 1975's ''Siren''. The first single from ''Manifesto'' was "Trash", which barely made the UK top 40.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=UK Top 40 Hit Database )〕 However, the second single, the disco-tinged "Dance Away", returned the band to the top 3, beaten to no.1 for two weeks from 26 May 1979 by Blondie's "Sunday Girl". Regardless, it became one of the band's biggest hits and was also the 9th best-selling single in the UK in 1979. The song was also released as a 12" extended version (running at six and half minutes), a format that had started to become popular in the late 1970s. The third single from the album was a re-recorded version of "Angel Eyes", which was far more electronic and "disco" in nature than the power-pop album version. An extended 12" mix was also released. The single also made the UK Top 5 in August.〔 The album itself peaked at no. 7 in the UK.〔 The cover design which featured a variety of mannequins (a concept also used for the covers of the singles from the album), was created by Bryan Ferry with fashion designer Antony Price amongst others. The picture disc version of the album featured a version of the design in which the mannequins are unclothed. The cover's typography, as well as the album's title, were inspired by the first edition of Wyndham Lewis's literary magazine ''Blast''. == Release history == On the original vinyl release, Side One was labelled "East Side" and Side Two was labelled "West Side". European vinyl issues from 1980 on (including the UK picture disc edition) and all first CD issues replaced the original version of "Angel Eyes" with its single version. Later copies (including early CDs) also replaced "Dance Away" with its single version. Both original versions were included on ''The Thrill of It All'' box set in 1995. The 1999 remastered version restored the original "Angel Eyes" but kept the single version of Dance Away, presumably by mistake. Both original versions were included as part of the ''Manifesto'' album in the box set ''The Complete Studio Recordings'' in 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=VivaRoxyMusic.com Fansite )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Manifesto (Roxy Music album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
