Stranded is the third album by art rock band Roxy Music, and was released late 1973, reaching number one on the UK album charts. The cover features Ferry's girlfriend and 1973's Playmate of the Year, Marilyn Cole. It was the first Roxy Music album on which Bryan Ferry was no longer the only songwriter, because Andy Mackay and guitarist Phil Manzarena also contributed to the album.
The track "Street Life" was released as a single and reached number 9 on the UK charts.
