Sheer brilliance
And still the single seems unfamiliar, never featured on radio or complilations
Just love it. Francis really let's rip!

The one that got me into Quo, my dad gave me the live-ep back in 1975 and I was hooked! Always preferred the live-ep and Live/Glasgow -76 version to the studioversion though.

always annoyed me that they put the album version on 12 Gold Bars instead of the Live! ep version, an error of judgement that then seemed compounded by them including the Live @ NEC version of Caroline on Vol. II

When the live-ep came out in june 75, I was blown away. My neighbours has a really tough time, cause I cranked the volume up to 10. It was a big hit here in Holland (no.2 for several weeks) and I learned to play the airguitar on it !! :-)

I dare say everyone remembers where or when they first heard it. I first heard just a snippet of it about a month or two before Hello! came out. It was used as background music to a brief interview Radio 1 had with Francis when they were asking him about his views on the PYE stuff coming out at the time ( Mean Girl mainly). This was playing behind the voices and me and two schoolmates wondered what it was. And they never told us! All was revealed one Friday evening in September 1973. I'd phoned Virgin Records from a school payphone, as I had done for about 3 weeks because the album's release kept being delayed. But this Friday they had it in. Friday was album release day back then. After school, jumped on a bus into Edinburgh city centre and grabbed the first new Quo album since Piledriver. The opening bars were, of course, this beast which came pounding out of the Dansette. All I heard was the best band in the world. The rest of the street heard Alan 12/10. And, as someone has already pointed out, it wasn't even the best track on the album. It wasn't even top 3! Genius
