Be Bop Deluxe
was a '70s British rock group led by guitarist Bill Nelson (born on
December 18, 1948, Wakefield, Yorkshire, England) who veered between
glam rock, pop, and heavy metal, with lots of demonstrations of Nelson's
guitar prowess. After recording with Gentle Revolution and on his own,
Nelson put together the first lineup of Be Bop Deluxe
in 1972: Ian Parkin (guitar), Robert Bryan (bass), and Nicholas
Chatterton-Dew (drums). But after the release of the first album, Axe
Victim, Nelson sacked the band. The second album, Futurama, featured
Nelson with a rhythm section of bassist Charles Tumahai and drummer
Simon Fox. Keyboard player Andrew Clark joined for the third album,
Sunburst Finish, which contained the U.K. chart single "Ships in the
Night." Be Bop Deluxe
released a fourth album, Modern Music; a concert recording, Live! In the
Air Age, that became their only U.K. Top Ten hit; and a fifth studio
album, Drastic Plastic, before Nelson folded the enterprise, briefly
tried another group, Red Noise, and went solo again in 1979. Since then
he has recorded prolifically, if experimentally, and handled occasional
production jobs.
