Who wants to hear an 105 minute megamix of excerpts from all Quo's shuffle-style songs (is that even the correct musical term?) joined together? Been planning this for ages basically your head will fall off from sustained nodding/banging...
It's a little patchy in places because i had to slow down/speed up a lot of the tracks to fit an average BPM (there are in fact 4 different speeds, some of the slower songs sounded too awful matched to the faster ones), so the sound quality varies, but if you can cope with that....
Basically, tempo, musical key, and volume all matched to the best of my ability. It's like "The Anniversary Waltz" but better/worser (depending on your point of view).
Also, if you happen to be in Cuba, Iran, North Korea, or Syria, YouTube will have blocked it. Sorry bout that.

So many shuffles, so little time!!! Well done Gav, a real labour of love!!! By the way, how many songs did you use? Definitely a labour....of something! Cheers. Around 150 songs in all, and it clocked in at around 105 minutes long. One noticeable thing when mix n matching tracks from different albums is the production. I never realised what a thin, noisy sound the "Quo" album has! "On The Level" isn't far behind, but a little warmer and less distorted. "Blue For You" ticks all the boxes, and "Piledriver" and "Hello!" are suprisingly warm and full sounding respectively despite their earlier chronology. And, as some have mentioned, "Backbone" sounds very poor, very dull and flat. I guess that one just needs cranked up more.

I guess this "shuffle" thing is a loose term. There are some tracks used that aren't strictly shuffles, but have that 'swing' potential.
Is it more time signature? Anyone?

Just when some of you hoped you'd never hear this again, it's back - re-done to include a few more tracks, and to iron out some of the problematic volume levels.
1 hour 45 minutes of, well, not strictly shuffles all of 'em, but tracks of the same time signature more-or-less - a fond tribute to Quo's consistency of going, y'know, 'der-ner-ner-ner, der-ner-ner-ner' over the years. An open invitation to those who take the p!ss out of them for doing so, of course, and also a geeky thing i've wanted to bring to reality for a while.
Obviously, it's snippets of songs only, but there's about 150 on there, and i think i've got everything officially released there:
A B Blues // A Mess Of Blues // A Reason For Living // All Around My Hat // All We Really Wanna Do (Polly) // Almost But Not Quite There // Another Day // Bad News // Beautiful // Belavista Man // Better Times // Blue For You // Born To Be Wild // Break The Rules // Breaking Away // Bring It On Home // Broken Man // Bula Bula Quo (Kua Ni Lega) // Burning Bridges // Calling // Calling The Shots // Can't Be Done // Caroline // Crazy, Crazy // Creepin' Up On You // Cupid Stupid // Cut Me Some Slack // Diggin' Burt Bacharach // Doing It All For You // Don't Drive My Car (Aquostic version) // Don't Stop // Don't Think It Matters // Don't Waste My Time // Down The Dustpipe // Down To You // Ease Your Mind // Enough Is Enough // Fakin' The Blues // Falling Off The World // Fighting With The Pack // Figure Of Eight // Forty Five Hundred Times // Gerdundula // Get Out Of My Head // Good Golly Miss Molly // Good Thinking // Goodbye Baby // Gotta Get Up And Go // Gotta Go Home // Gravy Train // Halloween // Heartburn // Hold Me // Hold You Back // I (Who Have Nothing) // I Ain't Wasting My Time // I Saw The Light // I Should Have Known // I Wanna Run Away With You // I Want The World To Know // Ice In The Sun // I'm Watching Over You // In My Chair // Irish Washerwoman // Is There A Better Way // It's All About You // It's Christmas Time // Josie // Junior's Wailing // Lazy Poker Blues // Let Me Fly // Like A Good Girl // Like It Or Not // Lonely // Long Ago // Mad About The Boy // Man Overboard // Marguerita Time // Mean Girl // Memphis Tennessee // Most Of The Time // My Old Ways // Need Your Love // Neighbour, Neighbour // No Particular Place To Go // No Problems // Not At All // Nothing Comes Easy // Obstruction Day // Oh Baby // Oh! What A Night // On The Road Again // One Man Band // Over The Edge // Perfect Remedy // Point Of No Return // Railroad // Rain // Reality Cheque // Resurrection // Rhythm Of Life // Riverside // Roadhouse Blues // Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree // Roll Over Lay Down // Roll The Dice // Rolling Home // Rude Awakening Time // Runaround Sue // Saddling Up // Sail Away // Save Me // Shine On // Singing The Blues // Slow Train // Softer Ride // Solid Gold // Something's Going On In My Head // Spicks And Specks // Spinning Wheel Blues // Stones // Survival // Sweet Home Chicago // Take Me Away // That'll Be The Day // That's Alright // The Greatest Fighter // The Mexican Hat Dance // The Wanderer // The Way I Am // The Wild Ones // Thinking Of You // Tilting At The Mill // Time To Fly // Tobacco Road // Too Close To The Ground // Tune To The Music // Twenty Wild Horses // Umleitung // Under The Influence // Unspoken Words // Walking In A Winter Wonderland // Way Down // We Ain't Got Nothin' Yet // What To Do // What You're Proposing // Whatever You Want // When Will I Be Loved // Who Am I? // You Let Me Down // You Never Stop // Young Pretender // You're The One For Me.

I suppose that if less is sometimes more, conversely more is sometimes less!
