I like this one as well. It evokes memories. Not of anything in particular but more of a period in time. The opening track on Quo's first album of new material in something like 18 months or more. Music was changing rapidly in the UK and I was being distracted by punk and new wave as well as other heavier rock acts like UFO and AC/DC ( Lights Out and Let There Be Rock came out the same year and I was mad on both). I liked the Rockin' album and I still do. It was hampered by sound issues but John Eden's remix gave it CPR and it has since exploded into life for me. Love this

Chugs along beautifully. I'd file this under Classic Quo.

Brilliant track. Would have made for an excellent opener on that tour. Obviously wasn't around for it, but was told about the spinning globe projected on the curtain. A drone, the globe spinning on the curtain, guitar intro, drums start building up, globe zooms in on the location/city and then the curtain drops.

I'd also include this as a bit of a classic.
I know I have harped on about the Rocking the Heat album been very good ( less so the rejects of If You Cant Stand the World) .
This one suffers for been on an overlooked and poor album for me, so doesnt get the play time . Its a great track that if included with the likes of Cant give You More, Rockers Rollin , Accident Prone for vexample would really elevate it.
Top Track.
