A good track from a great album.
Not that much more to be said really. It's not a song that immediately jumps into your thoughts when you think of the album and some might see it as a bit of a filler. But it's got an odd sort of start-stop rhythm to it and the guitars sound nice.
The usual man's woes about a woman lyrics. But listenable.
Just looked up who wrote it. I'd assumed it was a Rossi/Frost job but that'll teach me. Rossi/Lancaster/Bown - which is an unusual combination.

Yes I like this one aswell, last of the real quality albums.
not up there with the Wild Ones, but it would sound very good on any of their later albums.
Interesting production reverb and multi tracking

Played it once and then onto Status Quo's greatest skips it went.

One of my three favorite songs of the album together with The Wild Ones and Coming and Going First Two are spot on. But see me in my office later for a talk.

Favourite Quo Album: On The Level

If it had an overall sound, would probably like it a bit more, but there's 2 or 3 tracks where they've massively overdone the reverb/echo on the drums. Doesn't really suit Quo, sounds more like a big wet fart!
Name Of The Game is a weird one. Never took to it, but like the brief guitar solo and the fat tone on it.

It's the lyrics ; I hate them. Yeah, they're a bit crass to say the least " She's in the club and she's accusing me...." Boys, eh?
