That is the classic version but this one is fun, especially on the break at around 2:11

Only saw him once live but it was brilliant. RIP
Agree with this and everything else on this thread. A little known fact, Steve Harley spent a few years as a child living in Hangleton Road, Hove, a few houses up from the traffic lights at the OSR junction. Whilst living there he contracted polio “and spent the rest of my life dragging this f’ing leg around”

Noòooo ....Hugely underrated singer.
Another part of our youth gone
PS Duran Duran’s version of ‘Come up and see me‘ is surprisingly good

RIP Steve.
We do a version of 'Come up and See Me', our guitarist couldn't be bothered to learn the guitar solo in the middle, so I do it on the sax.
It sounds surprisingly good too.

He was born Stephen Malcolm Ronald Nice in Deptford, southeast London, on February 27 1951, the second of five children. His father, Ronald, was a milkman and part-time footballer with Brighton & Hove Albion; his mother, Joyce (née Forgham), had been a semi-professional singer with wartime swing bands in Brighton.

It’s a great song. As an aside, I have always felt the vocal style on this song doesn’t quite get the notice/credit it deserves.
It's an amazing gift to the world.
Not as good as the Wedding Present's...Hugely underrated singer.

truly feels like I have lost a personal friend, always remember the feeling of wanting to see each show again and again. He had a great passion for horse racing and was often seen at Sussex’s courses.
Our lives improved the day he befriended us. RIP my friend

Always admired his honesty the last time I saw him play live, ca. 2005 when The Quality of Mercy came out:
"I know you're all here for the hits, but it's taken me nine years to make this new record, so we're f**king well going to play it!"
He also had a big soft spot for the Netherlands, as it was the Dutch who gave him his big break in 1973. Sebastian was a massive hit over here, at the same time that it flopped in the UK, because BBC radio wouldn't play it, on the grounds it was "too long".
RIP

I feel worse today about his passing than I did when I heard the news yesterday. I loved the 70s music and Steve Harley was a big part of it.
