Roxy Music released their take on "Jealous Guy" in early 1981 and turned a John Lennon album track into an international hit. Lennon had been working on the song since 1968 and first recorded it for Imagine in 1971, but it never came out as a single while he was alive; Roxy's version went to number one in the UK and Australia and made the top ten in several European countries.
Bryan Ferry produced it with Rhett Davies, Bob Clearmountain mixed it, Phil Manzanera played electric guitar and David Skinner keyboards, and together they give Lennon's song a late-night sheen, all polish and shadow.
