Steve Harley was born in London on 27th February 1951 as
Steven Nice. When he left school he became a local
newspaper reporter in Colchester, but then moved to London
to pursue his music career on the folk circuit. Before
long, he changed his name to Harley and started to put
together a band, who were snapped up amidst some
competition by EMI.
Their first album, The Human Menagerie, was lavishly
orchestrated but didn't sell in any great quantities. Early
copies with a biographical booklet are extremely rare now.
The prize cut, Sebastian, was also put out on 45. It was a
big hit in many European countries but surprisingly failed
to chart in the UK. Before a follow-up album, Judy Teen was
released as a stop-gap single. It shot to No. 5 in the UK
Charts.
