Reelin In The Years 6: Sebastian

I missed this when it was released as Cockney Rebel’s first single and didn’t come across it till the live version on the B-side of Make Me Smile (Come Up And See Me) – which it completely blew away.

By that time of course the original group had long since split and had morphed into Steve Harley And Cockney Rebel.

Ths was quite a brave release for a first single (if the 7 minute long track was issued.) The drums don’t appear till 2 minutes 46 seconds in!

As I recall the live version is even better than this one.

Judge for yourselves, though I’m not 100% convinced this is a live recording. (But it does sound quite like the B-side I remember):-
