    Could this be what we`ve waited 25 years for...
  

*by J***G on Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2014*

So far, the EMI releases of this ultimate band have had obscure flaws. While most of the CDs have sounded good, and some excellent, and the recent Futurist Manifesto 1974 - 1978 improved slightly on all sound, the drawback has been that they never indicated really giving it their best technology [i.e. 24bit...etc.] and never indicated original master tapes as the source. While these may seem like moot points, it`s impossible for someone in loving familiarity with the unbelievable power of this music, as gained through original `70`s vinyl listening, to accept EMI`s unexplained carelessness on the following issues: Why do so many musically lesser bands get unlimited re-issue perfection? How, in the face of holding and yet not promoting, this incredible musical legacy, commercial-considerations be damned, no-one there was able to hear what they had: The one band that was able to push the evolution of music higher than where the Beatles had left it! The flaws on previous CD issues of Be Bop Deluxe as compared with Original Vinyl releases, and which I have ordered this Original Album Series in hopes that it remedies, include the fact that someone cut off the end of Soundtrack, which ends side 1 of Futurama. Also, the fade-out between tracks 2 and 3 of Drastic Plastic [which IS fantastic], was never included. Here`s to patience and living in hope...With further updates on whether they finally got it right. Sincerely, your friend - Jim.  I`m adding a promised update: They still haven`t got it right, the sound and packaging is the best it`s ever been on CD, but they still cut off the end  of Soundtrack. The Drastic Plastic transition seems a bit smoother. It`s a bonus that they`ve eliminated the uninspired and uninformed liner notes, and gone are other mistakes like placing Speed of the Wind as a bonus track on both Futurama and Sunburst Finish! Now, we wait again for someone to review Futurama`s original vinyl release, to study and understand why it`s never been successfully remastered. Then we hope you`ll get it right! Maybe you have to consult Roy Thomas Baker. Next, the COMPLETE singles AND B-sides, along with rarities like Teenage Archangel and Face in the Rain...etc. would be amazing! Thanks - Jim.

    very nice even playback levels between discs
  

*by R***L on Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2014*

Kudos to Warner Music/ Rhino for this new addition to their “Original Album Series”, containing the Harvest label  British release versions of all 5 of Be-Bop Deluxe’s studio albums from 1974-78.  For those not familiar with this critically acclaimed, but not overly commercially successful band, their sound was a mix of glam, prog & straightforward rock, led by Bill Nelson (who at the time was considered one of the finest guitarists in England).  Their first album, Axe Victim, was inadvertently quite Bowie-esque (Nelson so disliked the comparisons that he dissolved this first group to “pursue less commercial paths of expression”) ; 3 ½ years later, their final album, Drastic Plastic, skirted the new wave of the times (several of the songs would’ve fit comfortably on playlists w/ Roxy Music, The Cars, or The Stranglers).This European Union release has each cd album (as is standard with this series) slipped into a cardboard sleeve, a replica of the front/ back cover of the original release, which in turn are housed in a slightly larger box (about the size of a double cd jewel case).  Bare bones: no booklet/ info; no non-LP tracks.  Sound is excellent (remastered?? – no info is listed).  And as is not always the case in this series, the volume playback level between albums is remarkably even, so I can make an even volume playlist of all my favorites for my portable device.

    Good Old Rock
  

*by R***B on Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2016*

Could definitely use a great remastering for these discs but for the money and I was always an avid fan. There not to bad. My old vinyl still sounds great. These sound a little thin but not unlistenable. Not bad for rebuilding the memories though. If your looking for something new that is old, this is a good place to star.
