If anyone still collects CDs, I am reluctantly parting with my vast collection of Bill Nelson CDs, one at a time.
They are mostly going to USA buyers.
No fakes here, they're all originals in great condition.
"Shining Reflector" (2014) is currently attracting a lot of interest, ebay item number 326240788410.
Good luck bidding guys.

Recorded in 2016, Powertron has languished in the BN archives for eight years.
A potent collection of twelve pieces that highlight Nelson's prowess and invention as a guitarist.
'Its genesis came whilst recording tracks for ‘The Jewel’ album. Amongst these was a track titled ‘Drive Shaft’ which I considered too brash for ‘The Jewel’, but too good to abandon. I decided to create a suitable album to house ‘Drive Shaft’ and ‘Powertron’ was the result. It’s an album of left-field rock songs, mainly vocal but layered with loud and edgy guitars. It will appeal to those who enjoy the wilder side of my work.' - Bill Nelson
Pre-order for May 3 release.

Sad to see - Glasgow-born David McCallum, oboe-ist and heartthrob spy Ilya Kuryakin of ‘The Man From U.N.C.L.E.,’ Dies at 90.
Another childhood icon gone.

Another sad loss - Mick Rock - THE photographer of 70's rock artists - has died. He was credited with Art Direction & Photography on Axe Victim, and I suspect photographed Bill quite often? Be good to see those photographs and hear Bill's recollections of his collaborator.

Here’s some new music that may be of interest to fellow Bill Nelson listeners. (I hope it’s OK to post a link to my bandcamp page here - I see others have done it). My first release for many years is an EP featuring some melodic pieces in my distinctive style, followed by some more "ambient" experiments with infinite guitar and strings. Enjoy - and please let me know your thoughts. Thanks, Martin. Martin Coles just released Red Skies, check it out here Here’s what they say about it: “What’s that new sound? At long last… I’ve just completed some new music. Please have a listen at martincoles.bandcamp.com Let me know what you think. Thanks, Martin.”
