Esoteric Recordings is proud to announce the release of a new
re-mastered four disc deluxe expanded boxed set limited edition
(comprising 3 CDs and a DVD) of FUTURAMA the legendary 1975 album by
BE-BOP DELUXE.

The album gained much praise thanks
to Bill Nelson’s composition skills and his highly innovative guitar
playing. Featuring such wonderful material as ‘Maid in Heaven’, ‘Sister
Seagull’, ‘Music in Dreamland’, ‘Sound Track’, ‘Between the Worlds’,
‘Jean Cocteau’ and ‘Swan Song’, the album would see Be Bop Deluxe
heralded as one of the most accomplished acts of 1975.
This
expanded reissue has been newly re-mastered from the original master
tapes and features an additional 36 bonus tracks drawn from a stunning
new 5.1 surround sound & stereo mixes from the original multi-track
tapes by award winning engineer Stephen W. Tayler, a previously
unreleased out-take from the album sessions, a previously unissued BBC
Radio “In Concert” performance from May 1975 (thought “lost” for some
years), a rare John Peel Show session from March 1975, along with a
previously unreleased 1975 Harvest Records promotional video for ‘Maid
in Heaven’ and a session for BBC TV’s “Old Grey Whistle Test” show from
July 1975.
Another highlight of this limited
edition boxed set is the lavishly illustrated 68-page book with many
previously unseen photographs and an essay of recollections by Bill
Nelson. Additionally, the set includes a facsimile Record Store poster
for FUTURAMA, replica track sheets, and postcards. This special deluxe
limited edition boxed set of FUTURAMA is a fitting tribute to a fine
band, the creative vision of Bill Nelson and a wonderful album.
