Roll Over Lay Down v Backwater
What an opening spell (sorry watching the cricket) .
Spud bangs the drum and its immediatedly countered by a Rossi intro .
This is top notch stuff from both sides. The crowd are already on their feet. Oh how I wish I was watching this rather than the mundane (Human) League fixture last night.

Based on the studio album , I am going to go with Backwater. Might be a different result live but thats not the game.
So side 1 opening track.
Quo 1 Hello 0 .
Could have gone either way tbf just the way I woke up.

Gut feeling… LP in each hand… which one goes on… I think it’ll always be ‘Hello’… ROLD, 45x, Reason & BEL, SRide.
‘Quo’ has the best non-prog related LP sleeve ever.

From 1981 til around the mid 90's, Hello! had always been my favourite Quo album, then I couldn't decide what was my favourite as I'd enjoyed pretty much all the albums since in different ways.
I'd give Hello! the edge over Quo at the minute but that could change on any given day.

A classic, which neither deserved to lose.
A first half in which Quo goes into a quick 2-0 lease, only to be pegged back to 2-2 at half time.
Classic end to end stuff in the second half, as Don't Think It Matters puts Quo in to the lead, only for Softer Ride to equalise.
Quo again takes the lead with Lonely Man on for Hello to level in the last moments with 4500 Times.
4-4. Unbelievable Jeff!!
How are these two going to be seperated?

After my semi Vinyl yesterday, we had a tight first 5 minutes from both albums, Hello started to pull away and were 3:1 up, with Drifting Away pulling 1 back at the end of the 1st side
Caroline put Hello further ahead at the start of the second side and it was only Lonley man scoring a second for the Quo album. A massive tussle at the end, but with 4500 Times having an extra 3 minutes to play with, against Slow Train, score again in a 6:2 thriller.

This isn't as easy as I thought. Had it been a draw and gone to penalties, Lonely Night would have shaded it over Joanne.
But Forty-Five Hundred Times is Lionel Messi to Slow Train's Ronaldo. Not much in it, but enough to turn the tide in Hello!'s favour.
At the end of the day, the real difference turned out to be Drifting Away. Harry Maguire to Blue Eyed Lady's Virgil van Dyk.
Close for Quo, but no banana 🍌
