The Candidate is the second solo studio album by British singer-songwriter Steve Harley released in 1979. It was produced by Harley and Jimmy Horowitz. Having spent almost a year living in Los Angeles, during which time his debut solo album Hobo with a Grin was released, Harley returned to London at the end of 1978.

Hobo with a Grin/The Candidate. Record companies are not generally renowned for their sense of ironic humor, but whoever pieced together the 2000 CD reissue of Hobo With a Grin obviously wasn't short of a funny bone or two. Either that, or a very cruel sense of irony. For why else would one of the worst of Steve Harley's late-'70s albums be appended with one of the best of his early decade B-sides? A masterful piece of violin-fluffy ferocity, "Spaced Out" was originally released as the B-side of his maiden hit, 1974's "Judy Teen," and, it is true, subsequent CD reissues of his catalog.

Hobo with a Grin is a debut solo album by Steve Harley of Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel, released in July 1978. Hobo with a Grin emerged, it was revealed the album took 18 months to make, cost £70,000 in total, and yet proved to be Harley's biggest flop.

Yes You Can is the third studio album by British singer-songwriter Steve Harley, released in Europe in 1992, and in the UK in 1993. The album was Harley's first new album of new material since 1979's The Candidate. It featured a mixture of older songs first written and recorded in the 1980s and newer material. The album was produced by Harley and Matt Butler, except "Rain in Venice", which was produced Mickie Most, Harley and Butler, and "Irresistible", which was produced by Most and Harley.
