Not sure of the chronology of tracks, but to me this is the exact moment Frame turned from a aimless twiddler to a brilliant composer of boogie blues rock solos
Something Going on in my Head
The solo is quite mindless. Just a collection of random notes to my ears - more or less the kind of thing I can do to a backing track loop. Just notes in a scale. Then at 3:12 it is like he suddenly gets it and turns the solo in a beautiful piece of art. It gels with the feel and rhythm of the track
It is often said that "dog" is the band learning their new craft, moving away from pop into boogie blues rock. And you can tell, some of it is really weak, but wow at 3:12 they transform into a really great rock band
The one of the first albums i bought way back in '76 i think it was was actually a compilation - "the rest of status Quo". It was actually a cassette tape (remember them?) and this track actually started at 3:12 and i blew my mind (I was really disappointed when i first heard the full track)
