3 CD – Uk Import
Remastered and expanded 3CD edition of “Live! In The Air Age” by Be Bop Deluxe. This legendary live album was released in July 1977 and would prove to be the band’s most successful album, peaking at number 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”. “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.
This set features the original album and restores the correct running order of the original LP release and has three bonus tracks drawn from a BBC Radio One John Peel session from January 1977. Importantly, this 3 CD edition includes the entire concert recorded at Hammersmith Odeon in London on March 26, 1977, one of the stand-out concerts from that memorable tour, presented here for the very first time. The recording reveals the improvisational side of Be Bop Deluxe, particularly on pieces such as “Shine” and “Blazing Apostles” which made each Be Bop Deluxe concert unique.
