Manifesto for the Future

Bill Nelson is one of my favorite musicians. I have a randomly recurring series called Playing the Bills where I feature music by Bills Burroughs, Laswell, & Nelson.

When Playing the Bills in January 2021, I shared Be Bop Deluxe - Live at the Riviera Theater from Chicago 1976. 

 

At that time, I sez:
     "I have never really posted up Be Bop Deluxe but someday plan to get around to their five disc collection Futurist Manifesto - The Harvest Years 1974-1978."  

That time is now...

 

Be Bop Deluxe - Futurist Manifesto: The Harvest Years 1974-1978 box set, 

Harvest 6463082 , 2011.
