"Guitar virtuoso Bill Nelson and his band Be Bop Deluxe was one of the most exciting acts that emerged in Britain in the middle of the glam rock period of the early 1970s.

"This is a nice album. I'm surprised it's so low on the year chart, especially compared to arriana grande and billie eilish. Imo this is much better than either of those albums. Only time will tell if I'm still listening to this in months and years"  Reply
