Be-Bop Deluxe in surround! (“Drastic Plastic” out in 2021!)

Wouldn't his time be better spent making the Kate Bush catalog 5.1?

A 5.1 SACD or blu ray of HOUNDS OF LOVE would be awesome!!!!

Sure , but me thinks that's up to the artist . Perhaps she'll pull the trigger now .

Well that's promising! Yeah, maybe if he/she plays Sunburst for Kate, she'll get the surround bug.

Esoteric Recordings is proud to announce the release of a new re-mastered four disc deluxe expanded boxed set limited edition (comprising 3 CDs and a DVD) of SUNBURST FINISH the legendary 1976 album by BE BOP DELUXE.

Recorded in the Autumn of 1975 at Abbey Road studios (with some sessions also taking place at AIR studios in London), SUNBURST FINISH was the third album by Be Bop Deluxe and the first to feature the line-up of BILL NELSON (vocals, guitars, keyboards), CHARLIE TUMAHAI (bass, vocals), ANDY CLARK (keyboards) and SIMON FOX (drums). It was also the first Be-Bop album to be co-produced by BILL NELSON and JOHN LECKIE. An album of immense musical inventiveness and creativity, SUNBURST FINISH was one of the finest albums of its era, a perfect cohesion of ten classic songs written by Bill Nelson (featuring his highly imaginative guitar playing) and a stylised and striking artwork package. Featuring such classic material as ‘Heavenly Homes’, ‘Crying to the Sky’, ‘Sleep that Burns’, ‘Life in the Air Age’, ‘Crystal Gazing’ and ‘Blazing Apostles’, the album also spawned the hit single ‘Ships in the Night’ and launched Be-Bop Deluxe as one of the major breakthrough acts of 1976.

This expanded reissue has been newly re-mastered from the original master tapes and features an additional 39 bonus tracks drawn from a stunning new 5.1 surround sound & stereo mixes from the original multi-track tapes by award winning engineer Stephen W. Tayler, previously unreleased out-takes from the album sessions, a BBC Radio “In Concert” performance from January 1976, a rare John Peel Show session from February 1976 (unavailable on CD for over twenty years), along with an unissued and previously unreleased 1976 Harvest Records promotional video for Ships in the Night and a session for BBC TV’s “Old Grey Whistle Test” show from January 1976.

Another highlight of this limited edition boxed set is the lavishly illustrated 68-page book with many previously unseen photographs and an essay of recollections by Bill Nelson. Additionally, the set includes a facsimile of the 1976 Sunburst Finish tour programme, postcards and a replica poster. This special deluxe limited edition boxed set of Sunburst Finish is a fitting tribute to a fine band, the creative vision of Bill Nelson and a wonderful album.

Looks like you got your wish , Duncan .


Hey, they probably read your post and took your advice .

So happily ordered!

May have been but the TUBES were on a double bill with them......not BOC!

I saw BBD & BOC in Springfield two weeks before the New York show. There is no setlist available for the Springfield show, but it seems like they were playing the same set every night. So I posted the NYC setlist as a probable set for the show I saw. Setlist.fm shows The Tubes to be playing in Buffalo on this night (4/1/78), so it probably was not your show. Sorry for being unclear!

Compared to other box sets lately <cough>Roxy Music<cough> this seems downright reasonable!

...plus, buying direct from a label is never the way to get the best price. I'm sure someone like Bull Moose or ImportCDs will come through with a lower price. Hopefully much lower!

 

[kap'n krunch]

Hmmmm. Never heard of them.

Wouldn't his time be better spent making the Kate Bush catalog 5.1?

A 5.1 SACD or blu ray of HOUNDS OF LOVE would be awesome!!!!

Whoa, halbroome, ONE REISSUE AT A TIME.

This is really a landmark album and perhaps in time Ms. Bush will see fit to release her fantastic back catalogue in 5.1.

Until then ........

 

[skherbeck]

The music sounds good, but it's a little pricey for music that's "new to me"... are there any other examples out there of this surround mixer's work to help persuade me?

Oh man oh man oh man...

 

[Jim the Oldbie]

Wow, Sunburst Finish is really happening! Do we know what format the surround mix will have? I didn't see it listed.

I'm assuming DTS/DD 5.1 which is kind of a bummer since the new Stereo remix and original Stereo mix will BOTH be in LOSSLESS PCM 96/24...same as the Barclay James Harvest DVD~Vs.

 

[Which_One_Is_Pink]

YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! Me wants me some Be-bop Deluxe in the all-around me sound!

Same price as the comparable Barclay James Harvest.
25 quid less than the Chris Squire with mandatory vinyl.
Could be worse.

 

[knifeman]

Mark Powell just posted this photo on his Facebook, so it looks like at least one of the upcoming Be-Bop Deluxe reissues will be in 5.1 surround!!!

Wow, I wasn't expecting this. I wonder who mixed it? No matter, my shillings are at the ready. And as The Rang stated above, a fantastic cover!

 

[Jim the Oldbie]

Wow, I wasn't expecting this. I wonder who mixed it?

According to the blurb above, it's Stephen W. Tayler. He has quite a resumé, although I don't see any references to surround mixes in his Wikipedia entry. Anyone know of any surround work he's done?

 

[knifeman]

Another natural for the surround treatment! Fantastic Track!

My thoughts exactly!! The thunderstorms in the surrounds and what searing guitar solos on this track! Bill Nelson was a creative genius.

 

[Mesozoic Mike]

Excellent News. Thanks for sharing. Love Be~Bop Deluxe



How Far behind can The Tubes be. Imagine the Tubes in 5.1??????

The Tubes first album in 5.1. I'd love that.
