Publisher's Synopsis
The authorised biography of Bill Nelson, best known as guitarist, singer and songwriter for the 1970s art rock band, Be Bop Deluxe. Be Bop came to prominence through a combination of rock theatrics and Nelson's flamboyant guitar work, moving from glam rock to new wave, via the band's art rock masterwork, Sunburst Finish. After Nelson split from Be Bop Deluxe he formed the acclaimed but short-lived Red Noise with whom he recorded the new-wave classic Sound on Sound. Draws on hours of new interviews with Bill Nelson as well as David Sylvian, John Leckie and Steve Harley.
