Try Play-again (Clyde 2, Glasgow)

www.clyde2.com

THE COCKNEY REBEL LEGEND WAS MY SPECIAL GUEST TO PROMOTE HIS NEW 4 x CD SET, "CAVALIERS - AN ANTHOLOGY, 1973 - 1974" ... A REMASTERED EDITION OF THE GROUP'S SEMINAL ALBUMS, "THE HUMAN MENAGERIE" AND "THE PSYCHOMODO".

STEVE AND I ARE GOOD PALS SO IT'S ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO WELCOME HIM TO RADIO CLYDE.  BUT WHAT MADE THIS INTERVIEW A SHEER JOY WAS THAT STEVE IS ONE OF A SEEMINGLY RARE BREED IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY TODAY ... AN ARTIST WITH A REAL PASSION FOR HIS CRAFT AND WHO HAS SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT.

IT WAS FANTASTIC TO HEAR THE ORIGINS OF BOTH ALBUMS.  "WE WERE FEARLESS" SAID STEVE.  HE WAS RIGHT. 

STEVE LOOKED BACK ON HIS CLOSE FRIENDSHIP WITH MARC BOLAN.   BEING SIGNED TO EMI RECORDS BY AN A. & R. MAN WHO ALSO SIGNED THEN FELLOW UNKNOWN ACTS QUEEN AND PILOT IN A THREE WEEK PERIOD.  WITHIN MONTHS ALL THREE BANDS HAD SCORED NO. 1 RECORDS.

AND HOW HE WAS INSPIRED TO WRITE HIS CLASSIC SONG "MAKE ME SMILE (COME UP AND SEE ME)".

IT WAS ALSO GREAT FOR ME TO REVISIT THOSE ALBUMS AGAIN.  I DON'T THINK I'VE PLAYED EITHER - FROM FIRST TRACK TO LAST - SINCE I BOUGHT THEM ON THE ORIGINAL VINYL.

THE INTERVIEW WAS ONE OF THE BEST I'VE DONE IN AGES AND THAT'S SAYING SOMETHING WHEN YOU THINK OF THE GUESTS I'VE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE ON THE SHOW.  SO, THANKS MR. HARLEY
