Be Bop Deluxe Modern Music Vinyl

New vinyl edition of the classic album 'Modern Music' by Be Bop Deluxe. Remastered from the original master tapes and cut at AIR Studios to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the original release.Recorded in June and July 1976 at Abbey Road Studios, 'Modern Music' was the fourth album by Be Bop Deluxe and the second to feature the line-up of Bill Nelson (vocals, guitars, keyboards), Charles Tumahai (bass, vocals), Andy Clark (keyboards) and Simon Fox (drums).Following on from the success and critical praise for the band’s previous album 'Sunburst Finish', the album was once more co-produced by Bill Nelson and John Leckie. Much of the material appearing on the album was conceived by Nelson while Be Bop Deluxe were undertaking their first tour of the USA in March 1976.The album was dominated by the expansive 'Modern Music' suite which was inspired by Bill’s experiences of America, the disillusionment with the US music business and a longing for home.The album also featured other fine songs such as 'Orphans Of Babylon', 'Kiss Of Light', 'The Bird Charmers Destiny' and the epic 'Down On Terminal Street, all of which ensured that the album was a hit in both the UK and the USA.
