Thanks this is great. And it’s good to try to piece things together with existing video too. Thanks.

According to Wiki, the Rollin' Home single was released on 9th May 1986. Four days earlier, here are the band performing a live gig in Vienna, Austria. Due to the angle of the single camera from the stage, together with several amps stacked on top of each other, no more than three members of the band can be seen throughout the entire video, of which was captured by an amateur.

Alan Lancasters lawsuit only pushed Quos comeback back by 4 months, as Naughty Girl was intended to be released in January 1986.

So was Naughty Girl initially intended to be released and promoted by the Back to back line up, irrespective of who recorded it, as Alan was in Australia? Or were they planning to release it with the new line up and had just not told Alan, and he was removed without being told?

So in a sense you can say that Alan was behind that Naughty Girl/Dreamin' was sacked as the comeback single and they instead went with Rollin' Home in the end? They should've thanked him in the end lmao I also never really understood that everything went so fast. Rick surely knew that he would/had stabbed Alan in the back when he played with Alan and John at the Marquee? What don't make sense to me is that Alan and Rick working on demos in the studio together sometime in 85, but if the recording for the ITAN album started in September, was the lineup change only because Alan refused to come to England and record?

Thanks Matt and all who've contributed to this thread. I suppose because I'd stopped following Quo from 84 to around 2003 and not properly back into them until 2010, this thread passed me by.
Really interesting and I'll watch the clips in detail.

My timeline from End of the Road to Rollin' Home was the continuation of a ridiculous perm, a mental holiday in San Antonio on Ibiza, the acquisition of a wonderful cross Collie/Alsatian we called Chutney and my first flat, slap bang in the centre of Edinburgh Although information on the band (which I genuinely thought I'd never see again after Milton Keynes) was scant (no t'internet), I tried to keep up to speed with goings on as best I could. Live Aid and Rossi/Frost releases were about the sum total though. I think there were a couple of pic-disc vinyl releases. One was a collection of 7" singles containing interviews from Castle Donington from 1982 and the other was a 12" of something or other. Can't recall what's on it. But I'm not 100% sure about the dates of these so they could have been a little later.
