Format:Audio CD
Well, at long last! Its finally been released - I thought this was going to be one of those releases that was forever going to be pushed further and further back until it disappeared altogether.
The good news is that this has definately been worth waiting for (although curiously, at the time I am writing this review, Amazon for some reason have never had this in stock and is only available on their site via Amazon sellers). In this set we have all the Be Bop Deluxe studio albums gathered together, each having its own bonus tracks added at the end of each album. Not only that but there is a fifth disc which comprises of (worthwhile) previously unreleased material. The live material on this disc is of exceptional quality and is worth the price of admission alone - not to be missed. To round off the package, there is an informative booklet with some notes from Bill Nelson (although he forgets to tell us where the unreleased live material mentioned was actually recorded. Perhaps its only me that find this sort of detail interesting!). And as for the sound quality - these are all 2011 remasters from Abbey Road and do the music justice. Clear, not too loud and reveal the subtleties and detail of the music very well.
Overall then an exceptional value for money package - even if you have all the albums previously in whatever format, this rounds everything up very nicely with a decent smattering of bonus/unreleased material which will please the die-hard BBD fan and also serve as an excellent package for newcomers alike. You most definately can not go wromg at this price.

This box set has been a long time coming but worth the wait? Most definitely. Disc 5 contains some nice rare gems including a quite brilliant modern music suite (different from the BBC sessions one) and some interesting demos. Stunning value for money for someone wanting to get into (or back into) Be Bop Deluxe. The music itself was way ahead of its time all those years ago and, with one or two exceptions, stands up well today. Futurist Manifesto delights and charms and amazes. Well worth investing in.

At last..... 1 Nov 2011
Format:Audio CD
Like many, I've been waiting for clean remasters of these albums for many years and here they are, all in one nice package. Some fare better than others, likely due to recording venues at the time but interestingly, it's the earliest, Axe Victim and Futurama that benefit the most. The live material on disc five, especially The Modern Music Suite are icing on the cake. Love to have that whole show someday! I am keeping my earlier single discs though for the artwork and individual liner notes and of course Live In the Air Age. What would have made this even better would have been to have made this a mini box with each album in it's own LP replica sleeve, but I'm nitpicking. Long overdue and highly recommended. Thanks, Bill!

Great music, crap packaging
There is not much to complain about on the music side, other than to say the bonus tracks are fairly lightweight.

But the packaging stinks. Read more
