It all still needs to be licensed to be released. Ideas / tracklistings get proposed, and once they're proposed the archival dept. will send what they need / have listed down for the release to those working on the release for the audio to be remastered. The more time spent on project means more money spent. As far as I know, Quo don't have a big budget when it comes to releases and this Deluxe Batch has been in the work for a good year now... the longer it goes on = the more money it hemorrhages. Licencing this track wouldn't be trivial. It wouldn't even be difficult. It would be impossible. It doesn't exist So who put that entry on discogs then? Is it maybe simply the LP version and the person who listed it only knew the single edit, therefore assumed the incorrectly included version was an extended?

Not that didn't mention it to them anyway because it's too late to be licensed But if it was originally released by Vertigo, now part of Universal, shouldn't licensing the song for release be a trivial process? I'm totally ignorant on these matters. It's part of the internal process, something I didn't quite understand myself when I submitted the first tracklistings, which accounts for some of those releases not coming out as well as I had intended them. Once the tracklist has been given the go-ahead it's "fixed" and adding songs isn't possible until you "clear" them again. That's why, eventually, tracks dropped without good replacements. The problem is that my suggestions, which were drafts and certainly not set in stone, were treated verbatim. Once tracks turned out to be unusable (ITAN live version) it was too late to fix it.

Just looked at the Discogs entry and the tracklisting isn't correct for it. It should be; The Power of Rock [A-Side] Little Lady [Live, Birmingham NEC / B-Side] Paper Plane [Bray Studios 1990 /B-Side] Down Down [Live, CD Exclusive B-Side] And The Power Of Rock would either be the single edit which is 4 minutes long, or just the album version.

Yeah, I know there is a mispress with Little Lady live and Paper Plane from Bray Studios. And I can't find it on Discogs. So maybe that entry is indeed wrong.

Definitely a wrong entry, and it's not a mispress... The Power Of Rock was intended to be released as a single, which would have been QUO28 until either the band / management or record label changed their minds. Not sure how many copies of the original QUO2812 vinyls were pressed, but it's very rare to come by. Don't think any CD copies were made Cheers

He thought it would be a waste of money...they recorded the Anniversary Waltz instead and released RAOTY to celebrate 25 years. (Sorry for going off topic a bit).

There's two different Waltz 12" mispressings. One is: A. Full Waltz B1. Little Lady [Live, Birmingham NEC] B2. Paper Plane [Bray Studios 1990 with audience overdubs] (Don't know where you've got Down Down from?) The other is: A. The Power Of Rock (Album Version) B1. The Power Of Rock (Single Edit) B2. Perfect Remedy There's no unissued "extended" version of TPOR, and any 12" that doesn't play Waltz / TPOR (Edit) / Perfect Remedy, IS a mispress.

I noticed my mistake not long after as I went to the Quo singles site to check, and it turns out there was a miss pressing with power of rock on both sides. I just cba editing it Cheers

I've read that there is a Single Edit for "Can't Give You More". Saw it here and I'm pretty sure I've read it elsewhere. Not sure if it is on Discogs (not as a CD release, at least. I think the CD releases there only have a fade-out, shortening the song in 20 seconds, more or less). If this is true, is it being considered?

Yeah, but I thought that 7" edit was just a (sooner) fade-out. Thus, a bit irrelevant. The last one, I think it's really an edited version, with parts of the song moved, no? If so, I'd be interested in it.

The Radio Edit / Promo Only has the 2nd verse removed and a longer round of the; "Oh, oh, oh, can't give you more Can't give any more Oh, oh, oh, can't give you more Ain't got any more" Before coming back in with the 3rd verse instead - "Did you figure ours would be an easy thing..."

I never noticed the ending from Great Balls of Fire is the same as the edited version from Rockin' All Through The Years.
