People moan about Again and Again being self-parody, but fast-forward 30 years and Gravy Train makes it look like a work of genius.

If they'd fully gone into The Beatles' I Want To Tell You and sung a verse or two after the riff, it would've worked really well!

Didn't Rhino have his hair in a ponytail a few other times during that long hair period or is that the only time? First time seeing Rick with a ponytail though I think Quoincidence has a few videos on his YouTube channel from a TV broadcast from Hilversum Studio in 1992 where Rhino has one.

I recently picked this one up off eBay after about 20 years of searching - had one as an 8 year old in 1984, but it eventually wore out. Was so happy to find it again...

I always liked this one, which i think might still be available? It looked good in a dark blue too...

What was all that about i wonder? Wasn't Francis starting his rapid hair-loss around this time? A piss-take or solidarity with him... probably both!

Could have been a big hit if someone else had taken it on and it hadn't just remained a Quo 'deep cut'. A classic and very well written/constructed rock 'n' roll song to my ears.
Really doesn't suit the over-egged, reverb-laden studio treatment it got though. Needs to be a raw, tight sounding piece. Quite suprised they thought it sounded good enough to put out to be honest. Live versions so much better - much more power.

Much preferrable to Quo's version. Nice one! More separation and clarity, and just generally easier on the ears. Zips along nicely, while Quo's version is kinda muddy and not massively 'up'.

I dunno, this was never a 'go-to' Quo track for me. If i want minor-chord, melancholy ballads, i don't really immediately think 'ah yes, some Quo', so it's been a bit overlooked over the years.

Didn't the 'current Quo' try this and Oh Baby on the tour after the 2014 FF reunion? Or was it just Oh Baby?

They can peak more than once surely? But i know what you mean! In answer, i dunno, it's not an easy question. Lotsa variables.

Imagine it done in 1974 'Quo' album style with better lyrics.
A track that always left me stone cold. Still does.
