Album Details
Digitally Remastered Reissue of the Third Album from the Bbd, also on the Harvest Label. Stands Perhaps as the Groups Enduring Masterpiece. From Its Striking Cover to the Blazing Guitar Work in the Grooves, the Sound of Sunburst Finish Turned a Lot of Heads in It's Day. Sunburst also Brought Bbd Wider Exposure on American FM Radio. Features 'Sleep that Burns', 'Fair Exchange' and More. Originally Released in 1976; Includes Three Bonus Tracks Not Found on the Original Release.

Masterpiece.......2007-03-14
This is a quality album and along with Modern Music probably in my top fifty favourite albums of all time (i've been around a few years and got quite a large collection!). I saw them live in 1977 and have treasured all their work ever since. I find their work hard to categorize and it still stands up with the best of today. Songs are intricate yet melodic with lyrics both bizarre and astonishing. "Crying to the Sky" has a beautiful guitar solo and "Ships in the Night" I just can't get out of my head. Many commend Bill Nelson as a creative genius. How he fronts this band singing vocals and playing the guitar so amazingly well is hard to comprehend. The "Drastic Plastic" album marked the beginning of the end for me. Bill Nelson was a great rock guitar player, pity he split Be-Bop up after Plastic to explore his musicality. I don't care too much for any of his later solo work.

This disc is probably the best overall from Be-Bop Deluxe. The music arrangements are very good. More bass would make the songs fuller,but a good disc.
Une Saison en Enfer?.......2006-09-07
Be Bop Deluxe was a band that deserved better than they got, when they were around. Sunburst Finish is, in my opinion, the pinnacle of their creative efforts. From the opening sledgehammer blows of "Fair Exchange" right through to the last ringing notes of "Blazing Apostles", Bill Nelson, Charles Tumahai, Simon Fox and Andrew Clarke take the listener on a sonic tour of the landscape of the human soul. From the sad lament, "Crying to the Sky", to the Rimbaud-esque lyrics and searing guitar work of "Sleep that Burns", this is an album that's truly timeless, and well worth the listen. The addition of tracks like "Blue as a Jewel" and "Speed of the Wind" make this disc a jewel in its own right.
Be Bop Deluxe- Impressive!.......2005-08-22
Now, when you're a teenager, like I am (15 years old), you are expected to like the music in your generation. FRANKLY, to me, my generation of music completely sucks. No one gives a damn about the music or lyrics anymore!! I love RUSH (all of their music speaks to me, from their beginnings to their new stuff), and I was looking for a band that was full of musicianship and that just plain ROCKED, like them. Boy did I get it with Be Bop Deluxe! These guys were wonderful musicians. My Uncle and my Father introduced me to them in 2003, and ever since I've been listening to all of their songs. LOVE Beauty Secrets!!! Anyone looking for a good band with great musicians, check these guys out. It is a shame they split, but their music lives on...
WARNING: NOT A REMASTER.......2005-02-24
Five stars for the album, which is superb. But if you're in the US and you have this already, and were hoping to upgrade, forget it. Despte the fact that Astral Werks has been trumpeting these Be Bop Deluxe rerleases on its site-- with expanded booklets! Whoopee!-- these are, in fact, straight reissues of the old 1990 CD editions. Expanded booklets my ass: these booklets have been scanned from the old ones. And the mixes are identical to the 1990 editions. These so-called new editions are roughly as far, chronologically, from the original CD editions as those editions were from the LP releases. But no improvements have been made in this case. Another sterling instance of a record company simply not giving a damn. You should wait for the upcoming boxset, which Mr. Nelson is preparing even as we speak.
