When this album first came out I played it once and that was that.Going through my 'lunch' at work last night I found that instead of a corned beef role I had put my prism of reappraisal in the bag instead.I played the album and despite Red Sky,Rollin' Home and the title track being reasonable the rest of the album is still crap.The crap "highlights" include Rossi's ridiculous attempt at Ian Hunters vocals and the incredible Invitation.The warning signs were there already.
Would have been interesting if the Judge had ruled in favour of Alan Lancaster.Would the Rossi/Parfitt band been as popular as Status Quo,I doubt it very much indeed.

He followed the money. Happy to stab whoever in the back, as long as he was ok. For me anyone who bought this shite was a traitor, all these years later people are only now waking up to what Francis and Rick did to a once great band.

ITAN was played a lot in bars in Spain after it had been released. I kept hearing it everywhere when on holiday sometime in the late 80's

Certainly bland enough and sing a long enough for bars. It's probably the one song that meant Francis and Ricks imitationQuo would go on for years.

ITAN was played alot all over Europe...it was a hit for the Bolland brothers (six weeks at no.1 in Norway) and a huge hit for Quo (Wikipedia says it's their biggest selling single) the album is just pure mince though....

Red Sky is canny. Would have been interesting if that was the direction they went in. Rollin home is someone writing a Song that he thinks sounds like Quo the rest is shite.

I like Red Sky and Rollin Home - the video in the desert for RH is one of the much better ones 'latter day' Quo have done, and always bring a smile

Red Sky was one of the very few good songs on that album, for me, together with Overdose

Am finding that difficult to believe, it outsold Rockin' and Down Down? I reckon wiki have got that wrong, might be wrong though
