Description:

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 its 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-beforeheard 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

performances with booklet featuring liner notes from Peter Doggett, interviews with Alan
