All? Big assumption that EVERYONE has Spotify. I certainly don't  Fair point 🙂 Either way, there are enough compilations out there as it is. |

Indeed. 250+ different ones.
But with the possible exception of the half-arsed 2020 Die Grössten Erfolge, there's none that focus purely on the last 20 years. So in theory the idea is fine, there's a cracking double or triple album to be compiled. But this certainly ain't it. Not even close.

Is it the 1976 version of "That's a fact"? Guess it's the acoustic version but the track list doesn't say so.

I guess this is what it's come down to. Has been for a while really. Instead of looking forward to an album with expectation (remember that?  ), we're either disappointed that it's yet another compilation or engaged in discussion about whether a track is this version or that. Discounting that it's all academic because most of us will have whatever it is anyway. This isn't a criticism; just an observation of it how it seems to be in these days where the compilation is king and the deluxe edition attempts to pander to the collector/fan starved of new material. Or as my 30-year old nephew might put it, pi$$ off granddad  |

I doubt this release would've happened if the Backbone tour had gone ahead as planned. Not in this form at least. Indeed. 250+ different ones. But with the possible exception of the half-arsed 2020 Die Grössten Erfolge, there's none that focus purely on the last 20 years. So in theory the idea is fine, there's a cracking double or triple album to be compiled. But this certainly ain't it. Not even close. What about this one? www.discogs.com/release/10390052-Status-Quo-Keep-Em-Coming-The-CollectionPre Backbone, so obviously nothing from that, and also nothing from Bula Quo! or Heavy Traffic, but otherwise some nice choices from the same covered albums. |

Oooh yeah, forgot about that one. Well remembered Much better choice of tracks, and by a third party - Music Club Deluxe is a subsidiary of Demon. Pity Ear Music don't have the same awareness. |

Music Club Deluxe is a subsidiary of Demon. That reminds me how Edel/earmusic just repackaged the same "deluxe" reissues of DS, UTI and TPAOY that Demon/Edsel had released two or three years before.  |

The new mix of "Cut Me Some Slack" is out out quoin' There's a little surprise at the end... Maybe just my speakers, but is Richie's guitar higher in the mix, and there's a bit more ambience/reverb?
Plus, an extra lead guitar at the end there.

Much better mix. More crunch, less muddy (was a big issue). A bit more sense of ambiance overall. Fortunately, they got rid of that extremely artificial reverb on the snare.
Instrument placement is a bit different. Minor stuff.
Keys, vocals and backing vocals are more prominent. Bass a little more buried. Both these changes help removing the muddiness.
That harmonica kind of sound is also buried (still there, but very buried). Also a good thing for me. I found it a bit annoying.
Extra lead guitar at the end.
Distorting mastering.
