CD ReviewsNice compilation - and contrast D. C Peterson | St. Paul, MN United States | 06/30/2003 (4 out of 5 stars) ""A Closer Look" was a vinyl compilation released in the USA in the mid-70's in an attempt to bring Americans' attention to Steve Harley, who was then quite succesful in England and elsewhere in Europe. It didn't work, and Harley remains a cult figure at best here. Fans of early Roxy Music and "Hunky Dory"/"Man Who Sold The World"-era Bowie should love his music. This is a good, concise overview of his 3 LP's at that time and has most of the best cuts from them (Sebastian; Tumbling Down; Make Me Smile) -- still, there's recent compilations available which surpass this.I would have preferred pairing "Closer Look" with "Timeless Flight" (which I did on cassette for my car way back when), but it's an interesting contrast with "Love's A Prima Donna." This was my favorite Harley album back when it was released, but it has not aged all that well. LAPD is reliant on a great deal of studio gimmickry; think of the difference between early Bowie and "Heroes" (a better comparison may be Rundgren's "Something/Anything" and "A Wizard A True Star.") But that title track is a a great single, and this is, overall, a better compilation than the one which combines "Best Years Of Our Lives" (classic Harley) with the later, tamer and duller "The Candidate," about which the less said the better."
