Hmm… Now showing up as “available for pre-order” on Burning Shed:
Be Bop Deluxe
Modern Music (Deluxe) (boxset/cd pre-order)
Alimited five disc (4cd/1dvd) deluxe box set edition of Modern Music, the classic 1976 studio release by Be Bop Deluxe.
Features: Re-mastered original recordings / 2019 stereo and 5.1 mixes / Unreleased out-takes / A BBC Radio In Concert performance / A session for BBC TV’s Old Grey Whistle Test / A previously unreleased 'official bootleg' of a performance in Chicago / A 68 page book with rare photographs and an essay by Bill Nelson / Replica poster and postcards.
And surprise surprise...they are issuing the unreleased Riviera Theater 1976 ' bootleg'. At least now the ' Nelsonic Blues' (much cooler name than ' Bill's Blues') will get a wide release. (Actually, it's two bootlegs. The Hammersmith recording has been available for years too.) Hopefully, they haven't polished them up too much. All in all, looks like a nice package.

ordered !
Auto-buy. As BN fans we are particularly spoiled with plenty of incoming 'modern music'.
But it sure is nice to have these classic BBD recordings available with bright shiny remixes in stereo and surround.
The only thing more we could ask from Esoteric is new vinyl reissues of the whole catalog.
Pretty please, with a cherry on top?
Ordered! This was my first introduction to Bill and the BeBop team. Treasure!!
Ordered. This is the album/song that was my introduction to Be Bop Deluxe and Bill Nelson.
Looking forward to the details!

This has snuck in under the radar! Ordered. Now really looking forward to a deluxe Drastic Plastic!

How does this happen? I visit the site after some absence and end up buying Modern Music...irresistible!
Wow, fast on the heels of Futurama! I can't wait for this.
Just ordered mine...can't wait. This is my favourite Be Bop album, partly for personal reasons, but mostly because its just great!
