I remember clearly when I first heard this. Played it on a schoolmate's stereo straight after buying the album from the shop. But one of his speakers had gone so we couldn't hear the guitar solo(s) - and no doubt several other things. We had to take turns with the headphones Terrific track. Raw power. Always thought this album had a great sound. Clearer than any previous Quo album. Yep 10/10

always find it odd when it doesn't lead straight into Most Of The Time. to me that pairing is as set in my mind as Backwater/Just Take Me or Is It Really Me?/Gotta Go Home

There's not that many songs I could say that about

It's extremely short to be a 3 minutes track. It feels like maximum 2 minutes.

There are people that describe music jumping out of the speakers at you. This one also punches you in the face.

The live versions are good (The transition between Backwater to Little Lady from 81-82 is my favorite), but, even with the Frantic Four on the OTL tour, I still miss something from the studio version.

Absolutely brilliant, one of my absolute all time favourites! Especially the solo (the quiet part; the build up, and then the increasing intensity all the way til the last verse - still sends shivers down my spine and makes the hair on my att arms rise after all those years!) is absolutely marvellous!

It still kicks like a mule even after all these years and hundreds of listens. The bridge always makes the hairs on my neck stand on end when JC puts the 4 bass drum beats in.
