British band formed by Bill Nelson in 1972 in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, England. The musically restless Be Bop Deluxe never actually played Be-Bop music, and dabbled instead with genres that ranged from prog rock to proto-punk and new wave. They were most notably known for their singles 'Ships In The Night', 'Sister Seagull' and 'Maid In Heaven', and recorded their final album in 1978, with Bill Nelson's follow-up solo project 'Red Noise' as the intended sixth Be Bop Deluxe album, but due to Charles' visa expiring, rather than replace him, they called it a day.
