A B&W version of it went around the traps in Australia for many years and I have it recorded somewhere from the "Rock Relics" TV show.
Didn't see the colour version until I got that DVD.

With Rick pretending to play harmonica It's all very static. Well, the band are. The camera work is all over the place. I wonder if this promo ever made it onto "Top of the Pops"? The single did alright, chart-wise. Better than In My Chair and it made it.

I don't watch much TV at all and most of my quo dvd's remain unwatched I mentioned a few weeks back that I wish the single promos were easier to watch Sure it would be worth the band releasing a lot of this stuff in digital download format somehow so we can watch them on our phones. I don't understand why they don't put them all on the official YouTube page so they can earn from the views

I see Frame was butchering the Tele even back then, all those holes must have made it almost semi-acoustic!! [Btw, is this the Tele that became the Green one?]

Could be. It has the same stain on the pickguard, the old telecaster bridge. Maybe the circle from upper left it isn't a hole, it's another stain. Anyway, that guitar looks like s****. Much better what came after in green.

The single did alright, chart-wise. Better than In My Chair and it made it. No way to be sure since it's wiped, but apparently Quo appeared in the studio to support the track (when it was at #21) and as a playback over the crowd dancing when it was at #30. The records suggest that the first Quo promo video to actually appear on TOTP wasn't until Rain - although personally I take the view that Down Down was actually a specially recorded promo video as well; it's certainly not in front of a crowd for a start.

Never liked the song, but it's funny to see how young Alan looks in that promo!

It is the original Green one. Though you can see how much he damaged it in 2 years from this promo.
