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 peaked at number 40 on the UK Singles Chart. The second
single, the disco-tinged "Dance Away", was more successful, peaking at
number two in the UK on 26 May 1979, beaten to the top spot for three
weeks by Blondie's "Sunday Girl". It became one of the band's biggest
hits, and was also the ninth 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 five, peaking at number four in August. The
album itself peaked at number seven on the UK Albums Chart. In the
United States, the album peaked at number 23 on the Billboard 200,
making it Roxy Music's highest-charting album in the US.
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 and American TV actress Hilary
Thompson 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.
