and said "Looks great! Have we got them signed yet?" The band signed with Island Records a few days later. The album was released in June to good reviews and became a major success, reaching No. 10 on the UK album chart in September 1972. During the first half of 1972, bassist Graham Simpson became increasingly withdrawn and uncommunicative, which led to his leaving the band almost immediately after the recording of the debut studio album. He was replaced by Rik Kenton. To bring more attention to their studio album, Roxy Music decided to record and release a single. Their debut single was "Virginia Plain", which scored No. 4 in the British charts. The band's eclectic visual image, captured in their debut performance on the BBC's Top of the Pops, became a cornerstone for the glam trend in the UK.

Although some fans lamented the loss of the experimental attitude and camp aesthetic that Eno had brought to the band, the classically trained Jobson was an accomplished musician. John Porter also left at this time and for the next few years Roxy would undergo several more changes in bassist, with John Gustafson (1973, 1974, 1975–1976, formerly of the Merseybeats and Quatermass), Sal Maida (1973–1974), John Wetton (1974–1975, former King Crimson and future U.K. and Asia member) and Rick Wills (1976, future Foreigner member) all passing through the
