Stranded
was the first Roxy Music album on which Bryan Ferry was not the sole
songwriter, with multi-instrumentalist Andy Mackay and guitarist Phil
Manzanera also making songwriting contributions. It is also their first
album with multi-instrumentalist Eddie Jobson, who replaced synthesizer
player Brian Eno, and bassist John Gustafson, who replaced temporary
bassist John Porter. The track "Street Life" was released as a single
and reached number 9 on the UK singles chart.
The gatefold cover
photograph was taken by Karl Stoecker and styled by Antony Price, and
shows Playboy model Marilyn Cole. In an interview with the writer Tony
Barrell in 2007, Cole recalled:
"It was at a tiny studio, somewhere
off the Edgware Road in London. I'd never even heard of Roxy Music. I
very soon understood that I was in safe hands, among some very talented
people. There was a red dress hanging up, and I thought, 'Ooh, good, I'm
going to get to wear a really nice dress'... whereupon, as I'm having
my make-up done, Antony comes in and starts ripping the dress – a hole
there, a slash there. I was thinking, 'Oh no.' They stuck me on this big
log and explained I was supposed to be stranded in a jungle, and then
they started spraying me; they sprayed my hair gold, and there was a
whole mist coming over me and the dress was getting wet in all the right
places."
