Be-Bop Deluxe - Live! In the Air Age (2021 Deluxe Edition) [1977] (15 x CDs)

The British rock band Be-Bop Deluxe may not have remained as prominent as some of their '70s contemporaries, but their reissues have reignited interest in their music. This 16-disc super-deluxe edition of their 1977 live album, Live! In the Air Age, offers an extensive revisit of their spring '77 UK tour. It’s a treasure trove for longtime fans who hold fond memories of the band and a captivating discovery for new listeners who are curious about their sound.

This legendary live album was released in July 1977 and would prove to be the band's most successful album, peaking at #10 in the UK charts. The album was issued at a time of growing commercial success for the band and followed on the heels of two highly acclaimed studio albums in thirteen months, Sunburst Finish and Modern Music, both of which reached the top twenty of the UK album charts. Live! In the Air Age would be the band's only live record and was recorded on a series of dates in the UK in February and March 1977 on the Rolling Stones mobile unit. Bill Nelson and John Leckie selected the best performances for mixing at Abbey Road and Advision studios in London and Live! In The Air Age was released in July 1977.

Research of all of the Be Bop Deluxe master tapes revealed that multi track tapes of all the shows recorded on the UK tour of 1977 had survived. After digitizing and listening through to all of the Rolling Stones mobile unit 24-track tapes it was decided to include each concert in it's entirety in this expanded boxed set. The concerts were mixed over a period of several months by Stephen W. Tayler and are presented here for the very first time. They reveal the improvisational side of Be Bop Deluxe which made each concert unique. This set features the original album, newly remastered from the original master tapes, and restores the correct running order of the original LP release and has three bonus tracks drawn from a BBC Radio One John Peel Show session from January 1977. This box also adds an NTSC / Region Free DVD of Star Rider In Concert - Be Bop Deluxe, which was first screened on television in 1977 and appears exclusively in this boxed set for the first time. Finally, this limited-edition boxed set includes an illustrated 68-page book with many previously unseen photographs and an essay of recollections by Bill Nelson. Additionally, the set includes postcards and a replica poster. (Amazon)

There are countless adjectives that could describe this set, but “WOW” truly captures its essence. This remaster breathes new life into the original CD’s flat sound, offering an additional recording from the Hammersmith Odeon in London on March 26, 1977. Plus, it includes another set from the same venue featuring the “Modern Music” suite, along with other gems. These remastered recordings are sure to delight any fan.
