Album Notes & Community Reviews

Led by the virtuosic guitar work and poetic sensibilities of Bill Nelson, Be-Bop Deluxe burst onto the scene with this heavily glam-tinged debut. While still finding their unique stylistic footing, the album flawlessly blends theatrical art-rock structures with blistering, highly melodic guitar solos.
