Bryan Ferry's ninth solo studio album, Mamouna, is being reissued for the first time since 1994.

The previously unreleased alternate recordings to the final Mamouna versions are collected for the first time on these deluxe reissues as the Horoscope album.
The 2LP audiophile heavyweight vinyl was half-speed cut at Abbey Road Studios, London, by master engineer Miles Showell. The artwork direction for the updated reissue was overseen by Bryan Ferry himself.
The album features a stellar cast of supporting musicians including Nile Rodgers, Guy Pratt and Steve Ferrone, as well as contributions from his Roxy Music bandmates Phil Manzanera, Andy Mackay and Brian Eno.
