Equal parts Roxy Music, Bowie and Queen, Be Bop Deluxe were sequined
glam rock heroes, seemingly beamed down from an impossibly glamorous
forgotten future-world. They were an intoxicating ‘70s phenomena
filled with lipstick posturing, surrealistic lyrics and searing
guitar solos from leader Bill Nelson’s semi-acoustic, cherry
sunburst Gibson 345.
Now to celebrate the band’s 30th anniversary, the Be
Bop Deluxe catalog is being reissued featuring bonus tracks
and expanded CD booklets.
