Quit Dreaming and Get on the Beam is the second studio album by English musician Bill Nelson. The album was released in May 1981 and was produced by Nelson and John Leckie. It is the first in a trilogy of albums with Mercury Records, including The Love That Whirls... (1982) and Chimera (1983), and is his first solo album in a decade since Northern Dream in 1971.
Originally intended as the second album by Bill Nelson's Red Noise, Quit Dreaming... follows a period of uncertainty for Nelson after Red Noise was dropped by EMI Records. Despite being released nearly two years after its recording, it reached no. 7 in the UK albums chart, the highest position of any of Bill Nelson's projects to date.
