Always remembered that as a fun little video and the band looked good (i.e...didn't look like silly pop stars). But I'll never, ever understand what went through their minds to record a version of this song, let alone release it as a single. We had Something bout you baby, Mess of Blues and then the Wanderer!! Why oh why.

I was a bit perplexed myself at them recording the song. I remember my girlfriend's mum at the time taking the pi$$ saying, after this and A Mess of Blues, "what, have they run out of material?". After Back To Back, I didn't really have an answer  |

Good little video out & about mixing with the public. At the time I liked the song & video, not so much bothered these days. Always seemed popular live & all the cover songs mentioned above were very successful, if a little bit light weight.

This looks very nice!
Are the original fims still in the warehouse or whatever place where Universal stores the files? Or they are missing/burnt too?

Not too sure about The Wanderer film reels, but there's a few bits in there. Tons of stuff from the Rollin Home shoot, so early live footage of that lineup playing at the Al Nasr Tennis Court. |

Do you know if the Tennis Court footage contains sound? |

I have always liked it as it was the song that got me into Quo in the first place. Dad bought the 2 12 Gold Bars cassette tapes in 1984 and I heard this playing one day and something clicked for me, then the Live version of Caroline following it on the tape sealed it.
