BE-BOP DELUXE
Plastic Fantastic ESOTERIC
Superior collection of Be-Bop’s last word.
The sheer volume of material that Be-Bop Deluxe amassed in such a short space of time often seems difficult to assimilate. They were the ultimate square peg in the round hole of the 70s: too glam to be prog, too prog to be punk, they shapeshifted. They could have been Queen, they could have been Roxy Music; they could have been huge. For those who were there, leader Bill Nelson’s bony hand was on the tiller of futurism as much as Bowie’s.
