Sunburst Finish is the third studio album by English rock band Be-Bop Deluxe, released in February 1976. [2] It was recorded in Abbey Road Studios, London. [3]

Contents

The album contains what would become one of their few forays into chart success; the February 1976 single "Ships in the Night", which reached number 23 in the UK Singles Chart.

Keyboardist Andy Clark, who had served as a temporary member during Be-Bop Deluxe's 1975 Futurama tour, joined the band as a full member for this album. He remained until the band was dissolved by Bill Nelson in 1978 and would be the only member of Be-Bop Deluxe apart from Bill Nelson to become part of Bill Nelson's Red Noise .

The album marked the production debut of John Leckie, who would later produce artists such as Simple Minds, XTC, The Stone Roses and Radiohead. [4] It was re-released in early 1991 with three bonus tracks. [1]

Q Magazine described it as the band's 'finest hour' where 'Bill's lyrical excesses are held in check while the band belt out track after track of uniquely futuristic pop'. [1]

Musical style

The music of Sunburst Finish has been classified as art rock, [5] pop rock [6] and progressive pop. [7]
