Steve Harley (born Stephen Malcolm Ronald Nice, 27 February 1951,Deptford, London, England) is an English singer and songwriter, best known for his work with the 1970s rock group Cockney Rebel, with whom he still occasionally tours (albeit with many personnel changes through the years).

Steve Harley The Cockney Rebel - A Steve Harley Anthology PROMO 3x CD Album Set Condition: Like New. Time left: 26d 4h 15m 15s. Ships to: Worldwide. Harley's later albums from "Hobo With a Grin" generally have a "thinner" sound appearing uneven compared to his EMI records, but each album contribute a least one good song, making the compilation a satisfying listen. From "Hobo With a Grin" "Riding the Waves for Virginia Wolf" ranks among Harley's very best songs. The Candidate" has "One More Time". Star For a Week" from "Yes You Can" sounds like an outtake from "Timeless Flight" - a great song

His last studio album with Cockney Rebel, 1977’s Love’s A Prima Donna sees him incorporate elements of doo wop, reggae, prog and soul into an at times impenetrable choral rock onslaught where a breezy cover of The Beatles Here Comes The Sun provides welcome respite. Fans will know this stuff backwards, but for anyone curious about Harley’s complex muse, this is where to start. Classic Rock Newsletter.

To gain a full appreciation of Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel in the early days, this covers it all. A complete anthology of the music on 3 excellent CDs. This is a must for any Cockney Rebel fans. The only shame is that it is out of circulation at the moment, so has become a collector's item. However, it is a brilliant album, time for a re-release I think. One person found this helpful.
