Be-Bop Deluxe: Sunburst Finish [reissue]

Today, Bill Nelson is a cult figure known for his often oblique solo albums and his indifference to the musical mainstream. Once upon a time, however, his band had a hit song on the radio and an album full of sing-a-long pop moments.

Be-Bop Deluxe: Axe Victim [reissue]

Bill Nelson has been many things in his long musical career. On his first band's debut album, for instance, he was David Bowie with a guitar solo fetish.

Be-Bop Deluxe: Futurama [reissue] / Postcards from the Future...Introducing Be-Bop Deluxe [reissue]

Riding prog's contrail, fueled by Bowie and Chilton, nipping at the infant heels of punk, Bill Nelson made his marks early and he made them deep.
