Brilliant stuff. Loved that. Didn't half wake me up this morning. Well, that and a fiendishly strong espresso Mystery Song really is a genius of a track. Even the single version, which is nowhere near as superb as the full length song. Just averagely superb This has been up there for almost a week! Where the fvck have I been?

Quite incredible. At the 1.53 mark, Rick forgets the words on the right clip,but remembers them on the left clip. So two takes were made, like we have seen with the TOTP 1973 versions of Caroline. Fcuk me, there must be stacks of previously unseen clips of Quo from the golden era out there. Thank Christ for the internet!

My guess is, if I've not already mentioned it , that the version used on Top Of The Pops, 12 Gold Bars (Video presented to Quo by Phonogram) and Hello Quo was the final edit they intended to be the official promo video. The first time the one on the right pops up is the Rocking Through The Years release in 1986, so more than likely a mistake made by the archival dept. at the time. Then it appeared again on the XS All Areas DVD which I'm not really going to count as it was just the RTTY release, hence the blue denim title cards that were covering the scrolling text at the bottom. And then on the Accept No Substitute release. You can tell the one on the right is quite an early take. There's probably loads of behind the scenes of video shoots footage, and there should also be an early edit of Whatever You Want before they pissed about with those effects.

Thank Christ for the internet! 12 Gold Bars (Video presented to Quo by Phonogram)I remember entering a competition to get hold of a copy of that. They were giving one away on Saturday morning's "Multi-Coloured Swap-Shop" with Noel Edmonds when Francis and Rick guested on the show. I presume this would have been 1979. A Quo video then was like ten Christmases all at once because there weren't any! Not till the NEC gig came along a few years later. So someone somewhere must have won that. Wonder if it's in an attic somewhere or in the bin with most of the other releases when VHS became redundant

It's possible, but I find the released version (AKA the right) with better shots of everyone (except the "burp" from Rick, when he stops singing). Alan on the left version it's like anecdotic for example (one of the first F*** you from Rossi? ).

JC always reminded of a mechanic... Or the ice cream man who used to come around when I was a kid JC auto's, gearbox and transmission specialists. Has got a ring to it. Ice cream is writ large in Quo history. Maybe that's why Rossi got rid of him..looked like competition for South London routes.
