Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel- The Best Years of Our Lives (50th Anniversary Edition)
Steve Harley's iconic album The Best Years Of Our Lives celebrates it's 50th anniversary in 2025 and to mark the event, Chrysalis Records is proud to present a new edition of the album on vinyl, cut at half-speed by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios and housed in a Deluxe Die-Cut Sleeve. Following the split of the original Cockney Rebel line up, Harley endeavored to form a new line up while renaming the group as Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel. The result of this newfound group was electric, with the band producing their biggest hit; the number one, million-selling anthem 'Make Me Smile (Come Up And See Me)'. The lead track has gone on to have a life of it's own, but this album stands tall as an assured collection of top tier prog-glam-pop. Produced by Alan Parsons, just two years after he engineered Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon, the album also featured photography from Mick Rock. Newly remastered by Miles Showell (The Beatles, The Who), the album has been given a sonic uplift, sounding better than ever.
