5.0 out of 5 stars WARNING: NOT A REMASTER, February 24, 2005

By	Marshall Boswell (Memphis, TN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Five stars for the album, which is superb. But if you're in the US and you have this already, and were hoping to upgrade, forget it. Despte the fact that Astral Werks has been trumpeting these Be Bop Deluxe rerleases on its site-- with expanded booklets! Whoopee!-- these are, in fact, straight reissues of the old 1990 CD editions. Expanded booklets my ass: these booklets have been scanned from the old ones. And the mixes are identical to the 1990 editions. These so-called new editions are roughly as far, chronologically, from the original CD editions as those editions were from the LP releases. But no improvements have been made in this case. Another sterling instance of a record company simply not giving a damn. You should wait for the upcoming boxset, which Mr. Nelson is preparing even as we speak.

5.0 out of 5 stars Be Bop Deluxe- Impressive!, August 22, 2005

By	James "James" (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews

Now, when you're a teenager, like I am (15 years old), you are expected to like the music in your generation. FRANKLY, to me, my generation of music completely sucks. No one gives a damn about the music or lyrics anymore!! I love RUSH (all of their music speaks to me, from their beginnings to their new stuff), and I was looking for a band that was full of musicianship and that just plain ROCKED, like them. Boy did I get it with Be Bop Deluxe! These guys were wonderful musicians. My Uncle and my Father introduced me to them in 2003, and ever since I've been listening to all of their songs. LOVE Beauty Secrets!!! Anyone looking for a good band with great musicians, check these guys out. It is a shame they split, but their music lives on...

5.0 out of 5 stars treat yourself, March 29, 2001

By	Scott E Bucholtz (Hopkins, MN United States) - See all my reviews

I don't know what you bought to have this album appear as a recommendation, but it certainly is your lucky day!! Bill Nelson has to be one of the most talented musicians I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. Sunburst Finish and Modern Music are their two definitive albums, but rest assured, if you purchase any Be Bop Deluxe, you will purchase more. Spread the word, shout it from the rooftops, and above all, enjoy the incredible music.
