BE BOP DELUXE - Axe Victim 1974

BE BOP DELUXE \ AXE VICTIM 1974.

One of the pioneers of so called "art rock", Be Bop Deluxe never quite hit the heights they deserved, but their brand of intelligent pop/rock featured cleverly constructed songs played by excellent musicians, particularly the multi-talented Bill Nelson.
Be Bop Deluxe were a mix of glam rock, electronic experimentation music, and straight out rock and roll.
