Released in May 1982, it was recorded in 1981\u201382 at Compass Point Studios in Nassau, Bahamas, and is generally regarded as the culmination of the smoother, more adult-oriented sound of the band&#8217;s later work. It was the band&#8217;s most successful studio album, reaching No. 1 in the UK (for 3 weeks) and staying on the album charts for over a year. Although it only peaked at No. 53 in the United States, <strong>Avalon<\/strong> endured as a sleeper hit and became the band&#8217;s only million-selling record in that country, ultimately receiving a RIAA platinum certification.<\/p>\n<p>A single, &#8220;More Than This&#8221;, preceded the album and was a Top 10 hit in Britain, Australia, and several European countries. The title track was released as the album&#8217;s second single and also became a UK Top 20 hit. A third extract, &#8220;Take a Chance With Me&#8221;, with a remixed version of album track &#8220;The Main Thing&#8221;on the B-side, reached the UK Top 30 and was Roxy Music&#8217;s last UK hit single to date. Both &#8220;More Than This&#8221;(No. 103) and &#8220;Take a Chance With Me&#8221;(No. 104) performed relatively well in the United States, narrowly missing the American Top 100.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Avalon is the eighth and final studio album by English rock band Roxy Music.
