Francis decides country and western is the way forward for Quo.
Thankfully, the record company think otherwise and promote the album at a loss - Francis does an interview on radio, station haven't got the single - and rush-release it in a heavy market - Pip says the album isn't ready.
Not At All being reviewed:
The Power Of Rock was scheduled to be the third single but cancelled due to the two previous singles - which were Francis' idea - bombing.
The best track left off the album altogether.
Glad PR wasn't successful.

One of the worst albums they made imo

Truly a really bad album, and it's pretty obvious that it was rushed.
Half of the songs sound like something you'd hear on a budget version of Thelma and Louise.

I think I had hair the last time I played the album.

Not even their worst. Which is a sad tale.

Don't remember blondes don't lie. Was it really recorded as the same sessions as PR? Doesn't sound like it

Yes, remember Francis blaming "distribution problems" for the flop

Edit; Just re-listened to it. It's mainly the drums that needed laying down because it's definitely an electronic drum beat...

Thirsty Work and Under The Influence were far far worse in my opinion, Quo lurching between Pip Williams and Mike Paxman only resulted in alternating between the overly poppy and the mind numbingly bland, I liked Francis's production on RTYD but he seemed to drop the baton completely on Thirsty Work, coupled with the direst of the Rossi/Frost output.

TW yes, awful. Some good ones on UTI, far better than PR imo.

So was it recorded as a band with the other songs, or is this a Rick demo that Francis didn't like?

Cheers. So was it recorded as a band with the other songs, or is this a Rick demo that Francis didn't like? "This Rick Parfitt & Pip Williams composition was recorded in 1989, in Nassau, in the Bahamas, during the sessions for the Perfect Remedy album. Despite producer Pip's belief that it was a stronger track than most on the finished article, it was somehow overlooked and remains unreleased to this day." - From the inner sleeve of the Japan release So yeah, a Rick demo that Rossi didn't like Remastered Version;-

Amazing really....one half of the duo, the co owner of SQ plc, and the producer....still not influential enough to get one of Rick's songs on an album.
With hindsight, I wonder how much it hacked Rick off?

With hindsight, I wonder how much it hacked Rick off? Had it been finished, it would have been a killer of a track... Probably hacked him off quite a bit, and rightly so

Wasn't like it was a one-off....Lean Machine had happened the year before. It was something that happened with just about every album after that. Heavy Daze, mysteries of the ball, madness....list goes on. Rhino said the mysteries of the ball was is his top 5 Quo songs....amazing that a band member can love a new song so much and still find the band leader says no to it being on the album.
I get the impression that Rick quietly seethed, and thought sod him, let him do what he wants. No wonder he didn't bother writing a single song for TW
