New vinyl edition of the classic album 'Modern Music' by Be Bop Deluxe. Remastered from the original master tapes and cut at AIR Studios to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the original release. Recorded in June and July 1976 at Abbey Road Studios, 'Modern Music' was the fourth album by Be Bop Deluxe and the second to feature the line-up of Bill Nelson (vocals, guitars, keyboards), Charles Tumahai (bass, vocals), Andy Clark (keyboards) and Simon Fox (drums). Following on from the success and critical praise for the band's previous album 'Sunburst Finish', the album was once more co-produced by Bill Nelson and John Leckie. Much of the material appearing on the album was conceived by Nelson while Be Bop Deluxe were undertaking their first tour of the USA in March 1976. The album was dominated by the expansive 'Modern Music' suite which was inspired by Bill's experiences of America, the disillusionment with the US music business and a longing for home. The album also featured other fine songs such as 'Orphans Of Babylon', 'Kiss Of Light', 'The Bird Charmers Destiny' and the epic 'Down On Terminal Street, all of which ensured that the album was a hit in both the UK and the USA.

Shipping, Returns & Cancellations

SHIPPING:

We ship Monday through Friday. Orders typically ship within 24-72 hours. Tracking is sent to the email you provide at check out and may take a few days to become active.

Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.

RETURNS:

Returns are only accepted on damaged or defective items. Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery. Please save the original packaging.

If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.

Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.

CANCELLATIONS:

Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.

Thank you for your understanding.
