Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel's 1975 album The Best Years of Our Lives will be reissued on SDE exclusive blu-ray audio, in June.

Recorded at Abbey Road and Air Studios in late 1974, and produced by Harley and Alan Parsons, the album features the UK number one single 'Make Me Smile (Come Up and See Me)' and it's top 20 follow-up, 'Mr. Raffles (Man, It Was Mean)'.

Cockney Rebel (this was the first album where Harley added his name before the band) were Jim Cregan on guitar, George Ford on bass, Ducan Mackay on piano/keyboards and Stuart Elliot on drums. Tina Charles and Linda Lewis were amongst the five backing vocalists.

Alan Parsons has revisited this album and created brand new Dolby Atmos, 5.1 and Stereo mixes, as well as an instrumental mix. All four audio streams include 'Make Me Smile' B-side 'Another Journey'. A non-limited Miles Showell 2025 remaster of the original mix features on this exclusive blu-ray, as does 14 tracks from a Hammersmith Odeon live performance in 1975.

Tech Info

This blu-ray audio requires a blu-ray player. Decoding the Dolby Atmos Mix requires a Dolby Atmos certified soundbar or a Dolby Atmos compatible receiver or amplifier, with appropriate speaker set-up. The Dolby Atmos Mix will play on 5.1 systems. It will 'fold down' to 5.1 if an Atmos decoder is not detected and sounds in elements that are unique to Atmos (e.g. 'height' speakers) will get player via other channels.
