UNITED KINGDOM - IMPORT, WITH BLU-RAY

Deluxe three CD + Blu-ray edition. The album was originally recorded in 1979 with sessions taking place for an intended follow up album by Bill's recently formed group RED NOISE. However, EMI Records, Bill's then record label, declined to release the recordings and the material remained unreleased. Four recordings appeared as the 'Do You Dream in Colour' EP on his Cocteau label in 1980. The following year Bill licensed the original stereo mixes of the album to Mercury Records who issued the album in the Spring of 1981. A ground-breaking record, 'QUIT DREAMING AND GET ON THE BEAM' reached a peak of number seven on the UK charts and is to date Bill's most commercially successful album. This limited and expanded edition boxed set features a newly remastered version of the original album mix, but also features an additional 53 tracks drawn from new stereo & 5.1 Surround Sound mixes by Stephen W Tayler of all the surviving recording sessions from 1979, along with a previously unreleased radio session from March 1981, a BBC JOHN PEEL session from June 1981 and a collection of rare single tracks from the era. Also included is the rare promotional film of 'Do You Dream in Colour?' The box set has an illustrated 68-page book and an essay and also includes postcards and a poster, making this release the definitive statement on one of Bill Nelson's great works.
