Bill Nelson
Fancy Planets

Album UK 2009 on Sonoluxe label
Rock and Pop (Acoustic, Vocal, Ballad, Classic Rock)

From Bill's Dreamsville website: "Fancy Planets is (mainly) a vocal album issued on the Sonoluxe label in a single print run of 1000 copies. The album had a working title of Sway and Swoon and was designed to complement another album then called Sparkle and Spin (which was issued as Theatre of Falling Leaves) which were being worked on in tandem. Eventually Nelson renamed the album Fancy Planets. As the album was being mastered, Nelson noticed that the vocal track on “The Golden Days of Radio” wasn’t coming through as clearly as he had wanted. Nelson therefore re-did the vocals on an alternate mix version (sub-titled Compact Mix) and added the original version (sub-titled Hypermix) as a bonus track. Additionally, to avoid having an album with 13 tracks, Nelson then created an extra track “Mystery Engine” from scratch on the eve of the final mastering session and added that to the album too. The album was - alongside Here Comes Mr Mercury – the first Bill Nelson CD to feature ‘CD text’ allowing you to see the title of each track as it played on certain in car and hi-fi systems. The album includes the ‘A’ side of the free digital single I Hear Electricity, issued previously on Nelson’s 60th birthday (18 December 2008)."
