Album Notes & Community Reviews

Driven by the flamboyant theatricality and sharp songwriting of Steve Harley, the group's debut utilized opulent orchestral arrangements to elevate its theatrical glam aesthetics. The lavish production, highlighted by sprawling epics like 'Sebastian', set them apart from the more straightforward guitar-driven rock of their contemporaries.
