Rick is the same. Read his comments in the deluxe reissues, about songs like All the Reasons (before Aquostic: "We could do it so much better these days") or A Reason for Living ("I'm glad we did it on the Aquostic album"). Hi All, FH, I think Rick is talking from a purely technical view rather than Francis thinking I could put a tweek here and a tweek there constantly re-evaluating his work all the time, so in real terms Francis will never be happy with his output....

Under those circumstances, it's amazing that Quo have made as many albums as they have. Compare that to Manfred Mann, whose latest album (Lone Arranger) took ten years as he startes something, worked on it, then threw it away again, started from scratch again and on and on... perfectionism run amuck IMO, even if I quite like the way the album came out.

But it's still not as good as the 70s albums! And there you had a band who went in, recorded, and then went out. Yes, that way of working led to some weaker albums as well, but in the end I prefer to have more material from which I can cherry-pick rather than the artist throwing away something that his fans might love to bits...

Hi All, FH, Agree entirely with what you say...
