Why This Record Matters
Drastic Plastic is Be-Bop Deluxe’s fifth and final studio album, with Bill Nelson writing the material and co-producing with John Leckie. The record combines Nelson’s guitar work with prominent synthesizers on tracks including “Electrical Language” and “Panic In The World.” It was recorded using the Rolling Stones Mobile at Chateau Saint Georges.
