Psychomodo rar

Fall brought the release of the group's next single, "Big Big Deal," presumably a taster for their proposed third album. No sooner was the record released, however, than it was withdrawn, while Harley and Elliot began piecing together a new lineup. Indeed, although Harley would retain the Cockney Rebel identity for much of the decade, subsequent albums were solo shots in all but name.

Of his erstwhile bandmates, violinist Jean Paul Croker moved into session work; while bassist Paul Jefferies and guitarist Milton Reames James were briefly members of Be Bop Deluxe, before forming their own band, Chartreuse, in Jefferies was killed in the Lockerbie air disaster in Please note that songs are available for VERY short amount of time.

These are all intelligent, well written songs, with great hooks. These, and many more Harley songs stamped Cockney Rebel with a very individual musical style. Steve Harley was, and still is a superb songwriter, singer, and showman. The album proved that Steve Harley never lost it. He still sounds great after four decades on the road.

Even in , Steve Harley's sound is still reminiscent of his best 70's work. The songs are beautifully composed, with Cockney Rebel's unique British folk-pop sound still intact.

Some really talented and genuine bands and artists were caught up in the notorious "Glam Rock" net in Britain in the mid seventies.

Many of these bands were overnight sensations, or one hit wonders, and many were studio manufactured. Some of these bands were also hugely successful, due to clever management and recording songs written by top class songwriters.

It is well known that many of these artists couldn't play, or sing, the perfect recipe for success in the glitzy seventies! However, some of these artists had predated the "Glam Rock" era, and were hugely talented. Just to name a few - T. All these artists could sing, play, write brilliant songs, and they would have made the grade regardless of the ridiculous studio trickery that went into other "Glam Rock" bands that eventually fell by the wayside Without a doubt, one of the most talented bands to emerge in the seventies.

Psychomodo was also a success, but as Harley's combative relationship with the press worsened he dissolved the group soon after. When his recording of "Mr.

Soft" experienced a rebirth thanks to its use in a television commercial, Harley assembled a hits collection of the same name. It should be up there with one of the greats. Please check it out. Rarely do you hear so much ambition on one album. Redefining the expectations of UK punk. Hoping to feature them all eventually. Watch this space. Catchy, punky, power pop from London. Formed out of Buck Brother, which I was part of for a short time before a line up and name change.
