Record a completely different album....
I don’t think there is a song on it I feel the need to ever hear again.

Definitely the best album from the band at the time, the had a great sound in the studio (shame they couldn't pull that off again) and some great song writing for the album... I know that I would take out Tommy, Fame Or Money, The Price Of Love and Let's Work Together (like you have Victor)... albeit the last two are actually pretty good covers, they're just not necessary I'll have to have a think about a tracklisting including the 4 outtakes to replace those |

Are you sure there is nothing wrong with the album. It may be the best of a run of terrible albums but if your house is on fire does that make the homeless man feel better? We as usual will just have to disagree with almost everything post 81. |

It was just Rossi's attempt at making a shite song sound better, but you can't polish a turd |

To misquote the Tory's it was Quoinname only. I don't even consider it Status Quo. They finished in '81. |

I think the LP version (10 first tracks of the CD version) is more listenable than the CD version. Even though FFHT is a killer track I don't think it's necessary.

I think Mysteries From The Ball would have worked great as the opener for side 2 as opposed to Can't Give You More

From any other band I'd say it's a very good album, Tommy notwithstanding. The title song is great, really great. One Man Band is classic Quo with an inferior rhythm section. Same with Like A Zombie. Warning Shot was the high point of Edwards' song writing, which isn't saying much, I know. Still, I give it a solid 7 overall.

Side B. Warning shot All we really wanna do Polly Rock til you drop One man band 4500 times The problem is only the running time. Side A will be around 23 minutes and side B will be close to 29 minutes. It's possible to make records with that running time but the sound quality will not be the best (optimal is around 18 min per side I think, but under 24 will do). I'd suggest you skip one track on side B. |
