    great  box  set
  

*by E***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 14, 2011*

great  box  set  of  all  the  classic  be  bop  deluxe  albums  you  will  ever  need  plus  a  bonus  disc  of  some  rarities,  though  i  wish  the  rarites  included  more  live  stuff  and  outtakes  this  is  a  very  good  set  for  those  that  may  never  have  got  around  to  buying  the  cd  imports  of  these  long  lost  classics  from  the  70s,  i  always  felt  this  was  when  bill  nelson  was  at  his  best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  the  one  shame  is  the  great  1977  classic  live  album  LIVE  IN  THE  AIR RACE  is  not  included  here,  that  live  album  is  a  must,  it  was  one  of  the  great  live  albums  of  the  70s,  regardless  this  gives  any  fan  a  fantastic  retrospect  of  be  bop  deluxes  carrare  in  the  70s,  today  in  2011  they  seem  very  forgotten  and  i  dont  often  here  them  spoke  about  like  wishbone  ash,  uriah  heep  or  ufo  but  be  bop  deluxe  was  in  a  very  similar  genere,  i  am  very  happy  with  the  mastering  on  these  but  if  you  are  a  real  audophile  fuss  then  i  would  reccomend  you  try  to  find  the  japan  papersleeve  remasters  from  2007  becouse  they  sound  a  bit  more  crisp  then  this,  if  not  i  think  this  box  set  will  do  you  real  good,  its  great...................................

    WAY ahead of their time

I am a consummate music snob, which means 1) I listen to plenty of obscure indie crap, 2) I avoid most popular music unless it's REALLY good, and 3) most people hate me.  But I cannot praise BBD enough.  I discovered this band some years ago by accident online.  Yet their music immediately sounded familiar to me.  I assumed this was due to derivativeness, yet something about it kept bugging me.  Then I figured it out.It wasn't that BBD copied other bands; it was that THEY CAME FIRST.  Bill Nelson pretty much invented the prog/pop hybrid so common in the late 70s and early 80s.  Basically, almost every prog-pop band that followed BBD either imitated them, or stole from them outright.  Listen to "Life In The Air Age" (1976) and then Rush's "Spirit Of Radio" (1980), and tell me they don't have an almost identical song structure.  Or listen to late Starcastle or 1978 Yes, and you can hear BBD's poppier influence all over their prog-rooted music.  Nelson's prescience was uncanny.

    So far so good.

I have begun listening to this compilation boxed set of the world's greatest rock band. The mastering job for the albums Axe Victim and Futurama sound a little better than the original CD pressings that were released in the 1980s. These albums have not been released in years and are not very available at an affordable price. The fifth disc in the set contains unreleased demos and live recordings of the Modern Music material which has never been released before. I admittedly haven't listened to disc five yet. I did hear a little of the modern music suite at the Nelsonica convention a few years ago. It was awesome ! The CD booklet has liner notes and trivia facts about the band and the recording of the albums. If you like this band, you can't pass up this opportunity to get all of their recordings and then some !
