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

[4-earredwonder]

Me too!

Me THREE! Great price compared to Amazon. FYI, it's being released in the UK a week earlier [4/26] than the ImportCD release date [5/03]! But the avings is certainly worth the wait.

I went through Cherry Red when they first announced, because I'm impatient and knew I could get it cheaper at some point, but would probably forget to look!

If it is like the last BBD release, the company is excellent about shipping (and I also got it shortly before the actual release time ).

Yea, more expensive, but the ease makes up for it. Also, with releases slowing down for the moment (blessedly, how many of us are still paying off the Xmas releases !), a few dollars more isn't an issue. Plus, it's a nice surprise to come home one day and -- there it is, unexpectedly!

ImportCD is now offering 10% off on all orders until March 22 [code GREEN10] so that would bring the price of Futurama down to $41.97 + s/h [$2.99] + local sales tax. AmazonUS currently has it listed for $70 + local sales tax!!!!!!

Thanks for the code!!

This release finally got written up at SDE.

And in the comments at SDE was a link to an interview with Bill at Goldmine that contained this little nugget which bodes well for the future:

GM: Finally, what’s next… both for the Be-Bop Deluxe catalogue and for you yourself?

BN: “Well, as I said, the reissue program is ongoing and I believe all the Be-Bop albums will be given a similar treatment. There are also plans to reissue the [post Be-Bop] Red Noise album in the same style, which will be interesting.

Red Noise album - oooh yeah.

Although the reviews for the Sunburst Finish DVD were mixed with many claiming a conservative mix, I just sprung for the Futurama pre-order as I've loved this album since the day it was released. Would also love to see Axe Victim released in surround!

Only a few more days until Futurama arrives. Can’t wait!

4 Ears after waiting patiently for the STONES & Zep to remix all their core albums in surround.....

Maybe I should've settled for the Rutles!

It looks a bit like you're on the loo (old version of) Ralph!

Maybe Cherry Red will be on the lookout for other catalogues to licence if this is a success?!
