OK, not on everyone's must have Quo list but I now find that I don't have this version of the song on mp3. I knew it was on the vinyl but never really paid much attention and forgot all about it. A thread somewhere else brought it to mind so I thought I'd give it a play, not having heard it. It seems that, unlike most vinyl albums, Aquostic II doesn't have download codes for the tracks (no idea why) so, although I have it, I can't actually play it  I dare say I could convert it from YouTube - and probably will - but it's still a bit annoying. Or should I just buy a turntable and be done with it?  |

No idea how that happened but I'm sorted. Ta for the offer. I'll probably delete this thread because it now transpires to be bollox |

Was the song released only on vinyl and in MP3? Never in lossless format (WAV/FLAC)?

I can only assume I have it on mp3 because I used the code given with the vinyl then, for whatever reason (and it escapes me), disposed of the codes. I can't think of any other way I could have got it. It's not available on iTunes or anywhere else I've looked. It is interesting, though; this thread and the Rollin' Home one. It's so easy to miss songs when music companies fragment things like that. |

I don't understand why they release them only as MP3 through the codes, instead of a proper lossless format. Yeah, I guess it's to make people buy from several places... A person just wants to collect their music, but needs to buy, sometimes, multiples different versions of the same album. |

I've only ever seen it as an mp3 vinyl rip that someone's done themselves.
But if anyone has a clean mp3, ie. non-vinyl, they got with that download code, i'd be interested to hear it!

Hadn't realised For You is on there. It remains the only Quo album I haven't heard. I await it as album of the month with mild anxiety...

I feel that a second one meant the novelty factor and excitement was gone with us knowing what to expect. Thankfully we got Backbone as the next album and there wasn’t an Aquostic 3 |
