LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

A mix of classic Steve Harley songs like Make me Smile (Come Up and See Me) which now features a gospel choir and new songs including the romantic ballad A Friend For Life Anytime! (A Live Set) is what Steve Harley fans have long been waiting or - a collection of classic Harley tracks together with brand new songs which are set to become modern classics like the exceptional romantic ballad A Friend for Life. The album contains a wealth of previously unreleased material such as the evocative The Last Feast an eight-verse chronicle of Harley's own childhood which was over shadowed by serious illness resulting in Harley spending four years in hospital. Other previously unreleased gems is the inclusion of Sophistication, a track co-produced by Steve Harley and the late Mickie Most in the mid-80s. The album contains up-to-date versions of classic Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel hits such as the haunting Mr Soft, the rhythmic teen beat favourite Judy Teen, an outstanding version of the lyrical Sebastian and an exhilarating brand new arrangement of the classic rock anthem Make Me Smile (Come Up And See Me) featuring a gospel choir, among its 12 outstanding tracks. The tracks were recorded LIVE at concerts at The Jazz Cafe, London and Huntingdon Hall, Worcester.
