Superb blend of blues/country and rock. So when I saw you had been ripped off a little and I had some Cockney Rebel stuff I decided to share. I became a "fan" when I first heard Sebastian out as a single in the early 70's, although I didn't get into them perhaps as much as I did Zeppelin/Deep Purple/King Crimson and Pink Floyd etc. I'm a Brit ex pat and so heard Steve early on. So.. I hope everything arrives intact and enjoy. |

I'm making a special Windows Media Player folder for all the CDs. Since I can't make it to Britain this summer, this is the next best thing to being at one of Steve's live concerts!! I can't thank you enough. I don't know what to say, except thank you, thank you, thank you!  Cheri |

On the Buzzcocks Appearance thread Brigade Rider told me about an Alan Parsons Project song called "The Voice" that Steve sings the vocals for. It's on an album called "I Robot" from 1977. I found it on YouTube and am posting in for your listening enjoyment.
We can never get enough Steve Harley, can we?Cheri |

Stella posted the link to this video over on the Guestbook. It's Vasilis singing Sebastian translated into Greek and performed in 1985. It's good, but personally, I've NEVER heard any cover of Steve's music that was better than he could sing it himself. What do you think?

Steve, congratulations on the marriage of your son. I hope the day is a beautiful one and that it turns out to be everything you hoped for, and more.
