Be Bop Deluxe – The Albums 1976-1978 – CD (Caja clamshell 3CD) – Esoteric

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). A top twenty hit in the UK, the album followed on from the success and critical praise for the band’s previous album SUNBURST FINISH and was once more co-produced by BILL NELSON and JOHN LECKIE. Much of the material appearing on the album was conceived by Bill Nelson whilst Be Bop Deluxe were undertaking their first tour of the USA in March 1976.
