Remastered from the original master tapes Featuring an additional 15 bonus tracks drawn From a new stereo mix from the original multitrack master tapes. With rare single tracks and a previously Unreleased out-take from the album sessions. Booklet includes previously unseen photographs and a new essay by Bill Nelson.
Recorded in the first two months of 1975 at Rockfield studios (with some sessions also taking place at SARM studios in London), ‘Futurama’ was the second album by Be Bop Deluxe and the first to feature the line-up of Bill Nelson (vocals, guitars, keyboards), Charlie Tumahai (bass, vocals) and Simon Fox (drums). Produced by Roy Thomas Baker (who at the time was also working with Queen), ‘Futurama’ was an album of immense musical inventiveness and creativity and was a huge leap forward in creative terms for Bill Nelson. This expanded re-issue has been newly remastered from the original master tapes and features an additional 15 bonus tracks drawn from some stunning new stereo mixes from the original multi-track tapes by award winning engineer Stephen W. Tayler, a previously unreleased outtake from the album sessions and rare single tracks. The set also features a booklet which restores the original album artwork.
