A belter. First heard it on a compilation bootleg a couple of decades ago and I had no idea back then where it came from. T'internet and the Rockers Rollin' compilation put me straight on that. OK, we all recognise the similarity to Rolling Home in the opening bars but it becomes it's own thing after that. More of this instead of what ended up on Thirsty Work and there may have been no need for any covers albums! Cracking

Despite the similarity to Rolling Home I love it ! I will never understand why this, Heavy Daze, Dead in the Water and Mysteries from the Ball weren't on any album !

Not a patch on Rolling Home but better than a lot of their 'later' efforts.

I dunno. I like the intro (even if it does sound RH - or perhaps because of it) and I like the verses but the rest is 'meh'. Granted it is 1000 years ahead of any of the tosh that went on the albums at the time and I would happily take this over the other stuff but...it only stands out because it is not piss poor and it has some balls. Otherwise it is quite average.

🎶 Me and my lady love the way you're movin', me and my lady lo 🎶............wait, hang on a second. Any song that contains the word 'groovin' should be immediately re-evaluated

Because Walker was already pushing for a covers album at that point, after the success of the Anniversary Waltz, but the band weren't keen...

Really good song. That riff has been used by so many bands so many times...twice by Quo is not a problem.

Some great tracks from the RTYD sessions. This album could’ve been so much bigger with the right single selections.

I like the intro but thought it veered into Thirsty work territory with the verses. A bit like ciao ciao
Mysteries from the ball is my fave from the bsides.
