Favourite Quo Album: On The Level

Post by gav on Sept 20, 2021 15:11:39 GMT
Interested to hear what people think of this one. Always loved it myself, but maybe because i heard it at a very young age. Just a solid rock song to me, with nothing over-cooked. And a little different from the standard Quo formula in that it doesn't have that trademark boogie-type riff.

I wish it'd been on Whatever You Want instead of Come Rock With Me / Rockin' On, but that's damning it with faint praise.

First heard it as the B side to the WYW single. Something different and it has something about it. At the time of the album release, Runaway and High Flyer were the album's weakest links for me and maybe Hard Ride could have replaced one of those, if push had come to shove.

Always found the second half from the harmonica onwards better than the first bit, but I love any Quo with the harp so I am biased a bit.

Thanks gav. I have only heard the song a couple of times on vinyl, before cd came out. Totally forgot about it cause of the dam record compay taking it of the album on the 'Back2Back cd release.

Love it and would have preferred it on Whatever you Want instead of Runaway

Never been to keen on this one. I prefer High Flyer. And, of course, on the new deluxe edition the long version was omited...

Don't mind it at all. Not a great track by any stretch but I do love that harmonica bridge and the towards the ending when its just the guitars. Cool
