Fila Brazilia & Harold Budd
collaboration
Possible due date: unknown
Bill contributed to a collaboration between Hull band Fila
Brazilia and US pianist Harold Budd.
Red Noise Live CD
Possible due date: Who knows?
From the November 8, 1998 Bill Nelson Internet Chat, direct from Bill:
"I have a bootleg CD of Red Noise live which someone else has been
selling illegally. I plan to release it as a proper live official release
with some nice graphics and sleeve notes and I'll clean up and remaster
the recording to make it as high quality as possible. The secret
is to bootleg the bootleggers, but do it better.
Assuming it's the Live In Sheffield recording from March 1979, the track listing will probably be:

Bill mentioned in an interview in 1996 that the Scala recordings (done with Daryl Runswick for the British TV series "Brond" back in 1987) may or may not see re-release because Channel Four may be involved with the publishing. Bill did indicate that there were additional recordings from those sessions.
Since 1996 this web site has been soliciting the help of fans in order to get Bill's 1986 CBS album Getting The Holy Ghost Across (UK title) and On A Blue Wing (US title, slightly different track selection) released onto compact disc. This was never done back in 1986 by CBS! Bill has said in many interviews that CBS (now owned by Sony Music) owns the album and it's up to them to release it onto compact disc. Click here to email or write Sony Music to persuade them to release it.
