Axe Victim 2 "The Very Best Of BeBop Deluxe".......2004-09-10

If your anything like Bill Nelson of BeBop Deluxe, you'll eventually become a product of his silver strings, streaming across the airwaves of your imagination.

I was lucky to see them on tour, and hail that day as most memorable.

The Very Best of BeBop Deluxe is a fine place to start your exploration, and you'll find that each musician are truly experts at their craft.

Awesome '70s Guitar-driven rock.......2003-12-28

Anybody familiar with Be-Bop Deluxe needs no convincing as to the merits of this compilation. Suffice it to say that this band put out a string of great albums in the '70s that never made the ultimate splash in the US that they deserved. For those musical officianadoes in the know, scoop this one up. For the rest of you, turn on to Bill Nelson's ripping guitar riffs and engaging and accessible lyrics. You won't be disappointed. Seek out the "Live in the Air Age" album to hear this band live and really clicking.

A GUITAR SOUND MADE IN HEAVEN.......2001-07-21

BILL NELSON WAS A GREAT GUITAR PLAYER AND A PRETTY GOOD SONGWRITER/VOCALIST IN HIS DAY. THIS ALONG WITH THE BBC CD ARE THE BEST VALUE IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD/FIND ALL THEIR ORIGINAL ALBUMS. WHY THIS BAND WASN'T HUGE IS A STILL A MYSTERY. COMBINES THE BEST OF BOWIE, BEATLES, AND HENDRIX. A COUPLE OF TUNES ARE MISSING BUT STILL A GOOD SELECTION OVERALL. 19 SONGS! ONE OF ROCKS' MISSING LINKS.

A LONG TIME AGO NELSON WAS A GUITAR SLINGER, GET THIS CD.......2001-05-28

Somewhere around the time of 1977 Be Bop Deluxe leader Bill Nelson (guitarist/vocalist/songwriter/producer & visionary) got tired of playing rock 'n' roll riffs and wearing the guitar slinger tag. He packed his lil' hot sci-fi progressive group in, in '78 after their final studio LP Drastic Plastic. This new CD The Very Best Of Be Bop Deluxe (Collectables) collects 19 of the bands brightest moments onto 1 CD, orbiting in at 78:16. All the tunes that made Be Bop Deluxe loved in many hearts and Bill a hero (yes the ghost of Be Bop still haunts him to this day) are here. "Modern Music," "Ships In The Night," Adventures In a Yorkshire Landscape," "Sleep That Burns" and the 2 live killers "Piece Of Mine" & "Mill Street Junction" still BRING BACK THE SPARK (thats here too!) of the days when Be Bop Deluxe were on the verge of taking over the planet. The best of their 6 official LP's is here, but sadly nothing of the unreleased material that made up the 2nd LP of the bands 1979 Capitol/Harvest 2 LP collection The Best Of And The Rest Of is presented. The booklet details great history on Bill's career from his start up to the present '98 and the CD is a pix disc of the band. A nice tribute to a once great band.
