I loved the song back then and I still love it as much nowadays. Partly cos I have a deep connection with the song. Besides that, I personally think it's one of the best songs of them before everything started to go wrong in 1982 (I know there are those that consider everything after 1976 wrong already but for me Quo's best period has always been from 70 to 81.

Must listen to NTL again. It’s been a long time.
This board should have “album of the month” so we can all talk about the same album.
Will I still enjoy Riverside now I’ve read it’s a drum machine ?

Nice idea RW ! Will mention it to the other mods. I would certainly be willing to start off a thread about an album monthly

Fantastic track,absolutely brilliant.
A small curiosity:It's less than five years since I found out who did the vocals ...

Obviously the standout from an album I otherwise struggle with. Too bad they never played it live...

Rick had been thinking about re-recording ' Take Me Away' for his solo album that became the 'Over And Out' album. Sadly events took over so never happened. .

Don't want to cause speculation but, if true, sounds like a "shots fired" type moment He also wrote Go, Go, Go (get me out of here) for Bula Quo. Must have been something on his mind for a while.

'shots fired'?...just re-read your post.You could be looking too deeply into things freewilly! Don't think so... I know what Take Me Away is about. There can only be one reason why he was thinking it of putting it on his album. It certainly wasn't to try and improve on it

It would surely have been interesting to hear a version from Rick ! But I have to say honestly that I am not so sure it would have worked and would have given the song the same atmosphere. It always seemed like a song to me that was perfect for Rossi's nasal vocals and also the verses are done in a tone range that is lower then that Rick often sang so I don't know. But yes, would have liked to hear a version by Rick

And don't forget the solos; he may well be a wallaper but on TMA Rossi is on fire.
