Cheri, John's not really a fan at all but appreciates Steve Harley's earlier works up to about Timeless Flight. He rarely accompanies me to any of the concerts these days. He finds the sight of his wife fawning over her middle-aged teenage heart throb rather embarassing
And my sister forgave me and found a toy boy.

Been listening to the album again recently after many years.... Always wondered who the blonde lass on the cover was? It doesn't mention the model's name in the album credits...anybody able to answer this question?

Greetings from soggy Suffolk. Here in our office with Rachel, and became intrigued by this thread.
The pretty young woman on the cover of The Best Years Of Our Lives album is Birgit, a Swedish model (at the time). Birgit was/is married to George Underwood, who then was/still is a friend of Mick Rock's (he took the shoot). George designed the graphics for several of my/our albums that Mick worked on. George has another claim to fame, though: he is the fellow who scrapped with his schoolmate David Bowie in the school playground when they were young lads, causing the damage to David's eye, which resulted in that change of colour. Look carefully, you'll see Bowie's eyes are different shades to each other. Still see George occasionally.
This drought has caused awful floods in the lanes around here.

Great informations ! I like these kind of details

Good information - I, too, had wondered if she was significant, as well as extremely beautiful. Good to hear it straight from Steve.

Glad to now that I a not the only one who rejoices in these ridiculous details! Love this kind of "Harley Gossip!!"
