<p>Be Bop Deluxe was a British band formed by Bill Nelson in 1972. Despite their name, they did not play Be-Bop music, but instead explored various genres such as prog rock, proto-punk, and new wave. Known for hits like 'Ships In The Night', 'Sister Seagull', and 'Maid In Heaven', the band recorded their final album in 1978. Bill Nelson's solo project 'Red Noise' was intended to be the sixth Be Bop Deluxe album, but due to circumstances, they decided to disband.</p>

A blue vinyl Record Store Day edition of this classic album. Recorded in the first two months of 1975 at Rockfield studios (with some sessions also taking place at SARM studios in London), Futurama was the second album by Be Bop Deluxe and the first to feature the line-up of Bill Nelson (vocals, guitars, keyboards), Charlie Tumahai (bass, vocals) and Simon Fox (drums). Produced by Roy Thomas Baker (who at the time was also working with Queen), futurama was an album of immense musical inventiveness and creativity and was a huge leap forward in creative terms for Bill Nelson. The album gained much praise thanks to Bill Nelson’s composition skills and his highly innovative guitar playing. Featuring such wonderful material as “Maid in Heaven”, “Sister Seagull”, “Music in Dreamland”, “Sound Track”, “Between the Worlds”, “Jean Cocteau” and “Swan Song”, the album would see Be Bop Deluxe heralded as one of the most accomplished acts of 1975. This blue vinyl Record Store Day release features the Stephen W Tayler mix of the album on vinyl for the first time.
