Great work George, you're right, I had been planning a video on Steve/CR. I actually had tickets to see him at the Lancaster Grand Theatre a couple of years ago but it fell during the first lockdown so that was that. I always remember Steve's quote (delivered with a wry chuckle) about his fluctuating fortunes from the mid-seventies onwards: "We signed to EMI at the same time as Queen did, and one of us went on to huge fame and success". Think he shot himself in the foot in a way by being too big-headed. Great artist though, I really like his solo records also. I think I read somewhere that Blur/Damon Albarn were really influenced by him. Happy new year!

Thanks for the information and background as Steve Harley is an artist that I know very little about. I will now keep an eye out for his records. Cheers.

Happy Saint Stephen's Day George. I picked up a copy Timeless Flight a few weeks ago. Haven't had time to listen to it yet though. Did you know that Duran Duran used to perform Come Up And See Me live back in the day. They included it as a B side on The Reflex single. Interesting video! Cheers

Thanks John I should play timeless flight again was a bit of a change in sound for them at the time. Can’t remember if I’ve heard the durans doing that. Sure it will be an interesting version of it. Have a fab Boxing Day.

Another person that I am not familiar with, he must not have broke big in the US. His music appeared to be ahead of its time on the tracks you played. His voice seems to be one that may not appeal to everyone. Happy Holidays George

Hi Steve yes a real London accent that would not have big appeal in the states. Dated now.

Great video George. I agree, The Human Menagerie is probably their best along with The Pyschomodo. I do have the Big Big Deal single but it's credited just to Steve Harley. Good song though. The Candidate does have an inner sleeve with the lyrics if you are looking to upgrade. I also agree that it is not his best work. I did a ranking of his/their albums about 2.5 years ago and I think I put The Candidate last. Hope you are having a good Christmas - Richard

Cheers Richard can’t remember your video. Think he’s still touring one man band. He was a big name in the day. Loved the gig I seen back in the day.
