Today's song leads us back into the mid seventies and to a band that got critical acclaim but less success. I featured them once before and will do it once again whilst I listened to their live album from 1977 during last weekend. The band was formed in 1972 and was inspired by glam-rock and early David Bowie. After their first album Nelson replaced the whole band with new musicians who, in his opinion, could interpret his songs better. He expanded his sounds with elements of art rock, prog rock and to the end with new wave. Nothing is better to dive into their music as the live version of Shine. A pumping bass over a funky rhythm is the perfect ground for Nelson's guitar excursions.

Excellent track., Walter.
A couple of fellow pupils at school back in the late 70s/very early 80s adored Be Bop Deluxe, but they weren't a band I ever took too - even after Bill Nelson had been brought into work with The Skids. Just too smooth and efficient from my liking!
