Drastic Plastic is the fifth and final album by English rock band Be-Bop Deluxe, released in February 1978.

[1] Drastic Plastic was recorded in Chateau Saint Georges, Juan-les-Pins, in the south of France in the summer of 1977.

[2] Nelson recorded the album in Chateau Saint Georges, because he was inspired by the relation of the place with artist Jean Cocteau, who influenced him in the 1960s.

The sound of Drastic Plastic is different from the previous albums, showing changes in the musical direction of the band.

The Globe and Mail wrote that "'New Precision' and 'Islands of the Dead' are among the most aimless Nelson has ever penned, but 'Surreal Estate' and 'Japan' rank among his best".
