Be-Bop Deluxe was the creative vision of Bill Nelson, one of Britain’s most creative and enduring musicians. Thanks to the championing of DJ John Peel (who had been an advocate of Bill Nelson’s work since the release of Bill’s rudimentary self-released solo album Northern Dream in 1971), Be Bop Deluxe signed to EMI Records in 1974 and their debut album Axe Victim was issued in June of that year, featuring fine material such as ‘Adventures in a Yorkshire Landscape ‘Jets at Dawn’ and ‘Darkness (L’Immoraliste)’.
The 1975 album Futurama saw a new line-up of the band with the arrival of Charlie Tumahai on bass and Simon Fox on drums.
