Make Me Smile (Come up and See Me) - 2014 Remaster

This was written as a riposte when the original lineup of Cockney Rebel walked out on Steve Harley. The song tells the story of the first incarnation of the band. Jean-Paul Crocker, the electric violinist of Cockney Rebel, along with keyboardist Milton Reame-James and bassist Paul Jeffreys, approached lead singer Steve Harley, saying they wanted to contribute towards the songwriting. However, Harley, who was the sole songwriter of the band, felt it was unjust since he had initially hired them for his own vision and had already explained the arrangement to them. Consequently, Crocker chose to part ways and formed a musical duo with his brother, while the other two joined Be-Bop Deluxe, a band that had previously supported Cockney Rebel on their last tour. "You could see the friction between the Cockney Rebel guys," Be-Bop Deluxe frontman Bill Nelson recalled to Mojo magazine. "After they left, Milton Reame-James and Paul Jeffreys joined Be-Bop for a bit. There's a line in 'Make Me Smile (Come Up And See Me),' 'You spoilt the game. No matter what you say. For only metal, what a bore.' Well, Be-Bop weren't metal but fine - that was Steve's little dig. I met him years later and we laughed about it." Harley added, "Bill and I did laugh about it later, but that 'metal' reference was to money, to coins. They'd left me in the lurch, those three. It was Judas and the 30 pieces of silver. They had signed a contract with EMI and I had to buy them out."

When he performed the song on Top Of The Pops, although the instrumental backing was mimed, Harley performed a live vocal and promptly forgot most of the second and third verses.

The acoustic, flamenco-styled guitar solo was originally a soundcheck warm-up that was captured on tape and later used when it was realized it added to the song.
