The Best Years of Our Lives: 50th Anniversary Edition (With DVD) (Box Set) |

Description Steve Harley's iconic album The Best Years Of Our Lives celebrates it's 50th anniversary in 2025 and to mark the event, Chrysalis Records is proud to present an expanded 3-Disc edition featuring a 2025 Stereo Mix by Alan Parsons. Following the split of the original Cockney Rebel line up, Harley endeavored to form a new line up while renaming the group as Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel. The result of this newfound group was electric, with the band producing their biggest hit; the number one, million-selling anthem 'Make Me Smile (Come Up And See Me)'. The lead track has gone on to have a life of it's own, produced by Alan Parsons, just two years after he engineered Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon, this album stands tall as an assured collection of top tier prog-glam-pop. Disc One features a new 2025 Alan Parsons Stereo Mix, Disc two has never-before-heard outtakes and rarities, offering fans a unique insight into the creative process. The DVD features the Between The Lines documentary and Star Rider live video, unaired since the time, giving a wonderful glimpse into Steve performing at his victory lap show at Hammersmith Odeon alongside some fantastic fan interviews, Make Me Smile promo video and TOTP performance and the full audio recording of the Hammersmith Odeon concert. At the centre of this DVD style hardback book, are liner notes by renowned author Peter Doggett with interviews from band members Jim Cregan, Stewart Elliott, Duncan Mackay and producer Alan Parsons plus previously unseen photographs from Mick Rock and Michael Putland. The Best Years Of Our Lives [50th Anniversary Edition]: 3-Disc Deluxe Edition with new Alan Parsons 2025 Stereo Mix, Outtakes & Rarities Disc, DVD with live and rare performances with booklet featuring liner notes from Peter Doggett, interviews with Alan Parsons and Cockney Rebel and never-before-seen Mick Rock photographs.
