Die nun vorliegende Veröffentlichung mit dem Titel "The Practice Of Everyday Life - Celebrating 40 Years Of Recordings" widmet sich auf 8(!) CDs der einmaligen Karriere von Rock-Legende Bill Nelson. Darauf enthalten sind Solo-Aufnahmen, Be Bop Deluxe und Bill Nelson's Red Noise inklusive elf bisher unveröffentlichter Stücke. Das beiliegende Booklet umfasst 68 Seiten mit vielen Informationen rund um Bill Nelson sowie viele bisher noch unveröffentlichte Fotos und Erinnerungsstücke. "The Practice Of Everyday Life - Celebrating 40 Years Of Recordings" zollt einem einzigartigen Künstler den wohlverdienten Respekt.
The year 2011 marks the 40th anniversary of Bill Nelson's recording career and to celebrate this Esoteric Recordings announce a new release on their recently launched Cocteau Discs imprint, the lavish boxed set The Practice Of Everyday Life Celebrating Forty Years of Recordings." This is the most extensive and detailed anthology of Bill's astoundingly creative career to date. Over the past four decades Bill has consistently proved himself to be one of Britain's most original and creative musicians, exploring an astonishing diversity of musical styles, consistently pushing musical boundaries and earning the admiration of legions of fans throughout the world and enlightened critics alike. As a guitarist, Bill ranks as a great and uniquely gifted figure, but this eclectic selection of tracks also highlights his work as a singer / songwriter and instrumental composer.
The 1971 album Northern Dream was the first release of his illustrious career. Although recorded on rudimentary equipment at a small Wakefield recording studio, the record was a fine early example of an independently produced album. Northern Dream was championed by the legendary DJ John Peel and paved the way for Bill's future career, beginning with his legendary band Be Bop Deluxe, (a group who recorded five successful studio albums plus a live album for EMI's Harvest label), and the equally innovative Red Noise. His acclaimed solo career continued with the release of the album Quit Dreaming and Get on the Beam , and a succession of diverse releases for both major labels and his own independent company, Cocteau Records (a venture which saw Bill become a pioneer of the do-it-yourself approach to recording and releasing music).
Track listed by Bill himself, this deluxe anthology gathers together more than 150 tracks over Eight CDs. The set begins with his earliest recordings and includes previously unreleased material by Be Bop Deluxe, along with examples from Bill'sextensive solo catalogue, exploring a wide range of styles. The anthology also includes a selection of material from his more recent albums, self-released by Bill on his Sonoluxe label. The set is rounded off by the inclusion of a bonus CD featuring two previously unreleased BBC Radio One sessions from 1981 and 1983 respectively.

,,Labelchef, Bandboss, Autor, Komponist, bildender Künstler, Bühnenwerker etc. etc. – und natürlich Gitarrist: Der Engländer Bill Nelson (63) ist ein Vielkönner, der – gemessen an seinen noch immer abgehenden Arbeitslawinen – seit 40 Jahren nur selten geschlafen haben kann. Auf acht prallvollen CDs mit 168 Tracks breitet Nelson selbst sein Schaffen für ein Dutzend Plattenfirmen aus, ein mächtiges Projekt mit superber Umsetzung: Start mit Northern Dream (1971), Ende mit Fables And Dreamsongs (2010)."
