Flesh + Blood is the seventh (studio) album by Roxy Music and was released in May 1980. It was made after Paul Thompson left the band. It hit #1 in the UK for one week in June and then returned to the summit in August for another three weeks; in total spending 60 weeks on the album chart. The album reached #35 in the US and #10 in Australia.
The LP was heralded by an infectious single, "Over You": a #5 UK smash that also provided the band with a rare US chart entry at #80. Two more hit singles followed: "Oh Yeah (On the Radio)" (UK #5) and "Same Old Scene" (UK #12, AUS #35). Flesh + Blood also included two cover versions: The Byrds' "Eight Miles High" and Wilson Pickett's "In the Midnight Hour". The latter was released as a single in some territories and has since become a radio staple.
