Bebop Deluxe - Drastic Plastic (CD)

This, for me, the best record by Bill Nelson and the crew. I bought it when it was released in 1978, after hearing it on the Alan Freeman Staturday Show: He played one side of the LP, and I have been listening to it regularly ever since. The songs are a progression and developed a masterful quality from their previous recording, without loosing the style and sound. The tracks cover a mixture of sound; from pounding beat driven songs like 'Love in Flames' and 'Panic in the World'; to beautiful lilting songs of 'Visions of Endless Hopes' and 'Islands of the Dead'. Ever song is brilliant in both lyrics and sound. If you own any of their other records, then buy this you will not be disappointed. If you like 'early' Talking Heads, then this is a must.
