STEVE HARLEY & COCKNEY REBEL - A Closer Look (EMI) ::They couldn't exactly call this instant repackaging of Steve's last three albums a "Greatest Hits" collection, so they took the easy way out by calling it A Closer Look, complete with enough glitz promo to make it look like a live album — that is, until you read the small print. Still, if it'll make you feel any better, you can take heart In the fact that the cover alone is worth the price of admission (what with Steve doing his best Alex/Lou/Bowie/Iggy posing yet, this LP will replace Young Americani on your coffee table as the sleeve of '76) and, besides, any album that has "Sweet Dreams/Psychomodo" on it is worth youii hard earned bread in the first place. As for the rest of the material here; well, file under futile. J.M.
