All of the 8 original tracks are outstanding! IMO! Including Fine Fine Fine. Ok its country bent is not for everyone but it's a fine little song and the guitar solo is fantastic. I also love the ending and how it links into Lonely Man.

I'll go with the Slow Train...
This is a super album,to me it's just one tiny bit...the audio/sound.. Can't really explain it,but imagine the Quo album with the 'Hello' sound....then it would have been 11 / 10...

I know what you mean about the audio. I only got the Hello album after the Live EP, so hearing the studio version of Roll Over Lay Down for the first time I was struck by the tonal quality of the lead guitar. Still hits me every time I hear it. Still doesn't detract from the brilliance of Quo. That album was my introduction, so it's always going to be my favourite. Although I still think Break The Rules was the wrong choice for a single. Based only on the fact that I'd heard it at the time and it didn't grab me. I have read that the band didn't want it as single either. Do we know which track they would have gone with?

I opted for Dont' Think it Matters. Of course there is no beating Backwater/Just Take Me in all its incarnations over the years, but DTIM just has that fierce bouncy feel which hardly anyone but Quo can do convincingly. (ROLD is another one.)

They seem to compresse the sound and lose all the attack and time. Sounds like a keyboard on some songs. Baffled.

Drifting Away for me. Far and away the hardest, nastiest thing they ever did, tempered beautifully by Rossi's country twanging.
