Another Time, Another Place was Bryan Ferry's second studio album as a solo artist. The album reached #4 in the UK charts in 1974.
Recording took place in London at Island, Ramport and AIR studios.
Like Ferry's previous solo album, it consisted mainly of covers, with this time the exception of the last song, which gave its title to the album and was written by Ferry. Like These Foolish Things, Another Time, Another Place is essentially a cover album, featuring a Bob Dylan song (A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall on the former LP, It Ain't Me Babe on the latter) and a standard (the title track of These Foolish Things, Smoke Gets in Your Eyes on Another Time, Another Place) but while These Foolish Things emphasized an early-'60s girl-group repertoire, Another Time, Another Place turned to soul music (Sam Cooke, Ike & Tina Turner) and country music (Billy Page, Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, Joe South). In this respect, the key performance on the album may be the country classic You Are My Sunshine, rendered as a gospel. This choice of repertoire, together with the more sophisticated settings and production, gave the album a more "grown-up", serious and even reflective quality than Ferry's previous album, which sounds more fun and at times hectic.
