Timeless Flight was a commercial failure but is still an excellent album. Harley probably never wrote better lyrics before or since. If Best Years of our lives was Harley's pension earner this album was the one that stood him up as a 'real artist' and first class lyricist. The politics are dodgy as many have pointed out but this has to be seen against the background of the rise of Thatcherisim and Harley's own left-wing Liberal views at the time. Red is a mean mean colour could equally be a critique of Blairisim never mind of the rising Militant left at the time. Highlight has to be 'nothing is sacred' this paved the way for Harley's acoustic shows in more recent years and is a high point of the album. Buy it, enjoy it, cos you'll love it for years to come.

Full of material which has stayed lodged in my head since it was first released , the cassette tape vanished from my life after it stretched from years of play but then fortunately re released on cd in 2003 and it was like being reunited with a long lost friend and yes i still play it regularly a perrenial favourite although i dont think it was a commercial success at the time but i never judged it on those terms, for me its still one of steves best albums although i never heard him play a track from it on the quality of mercy tour but wasn't too disapointed as the concert was absolutely suberb as is the cd the quality of mercy once again full of fine material , ''the coast of amalfi'' is just sublime and to see it performed live was one of the most memorable moments of my life ,great music , great atmosphere ,great fans ,fully recommended ,Steve Harley a timeless delight ..

This is the Rebel album that is the hardest to listen to at first, and yet once its under your skin...its not as "poppy" as the others (if Harley could ever be called that) - the songs are more layered in texture and meaning. I've had the album 25 years and its still fresh. Its hard to know what to recommend to the first time listener.....start with Nothing is Sacred and work up from there - or just start at no. 1 and go to the end....

This album from 1976 is not JUST Steve Harley, it's *AND Cockney Rebel* so lets not forget that, though he did soon move on completely I think. Read more
