Finally I managed to get Quo on the turntable tonight. (I seem to rarely listen to music by the albumful, even new ones.)
It reminded me of one or two things:
a) I have a bit of difficulty listenint to the recordings of tracks on record, which I know well live. It's not quite the same. But I found once I'd been "round the CD once", Backwater and JTM are sounding right. Here it goes a third time - yes, definitely sounding right! It's not the same as live, though.
b) Don't Think it Matters and Fine Fine Fine remain my favourites. DTIM levers me out of my reverie and makes me wave my arms around even when I am not expecting it. And I have the CD with Lonely Night on it, which is what I call a genuine bonus track.
It's one of their finest albums, but for me it doesn't match Piledriver or Hello. I don't know why.

I dont think there are too many Quo songs better than Backwater...what an album. During the Summer holidays when i was a teenager i sketched the album cover..took me ages..think it got thrown away a while back...it is without doubt a great sleeve...something magical about album covers..today a lot of folk just download stuff but the joy of buying album or even cds should never be underestimated. Same here, used to paint the album covers, including the 'QUO' album, such was my devotion back then!
Sadly, I wanted to paint the Quid Pro Quo cover, but only with whitewash.

I think I get the picture! So QPQ is not to your palette?...er palate?! The QPQ album is too long and inconsistent to love it too much, admittedly. Though just when I thought they had run out of ideas the album contained a couple of tracks that are worthy stuff. Back to the 'Quo' album. Does anyone else hear something 'Fine Fine Fine' about Rossi and Rickard's 'But I Just Said Goodbye' ?

Brilliant album, always think of it as their 70's 'hippy' one for some reason.
