Of course, I have no insider insight on this. But my speculation, about writing collaborations in general, which I do know about, you have to have a creative spark with another person to write with them. Was that there with Bob and those other members of the band? Also, Bob and Francis were close way back, they wrote some of the seminal Quo songs. Their families went on holiday together. So to me, it makes sense that once the lies and confusion between them was cleared up (over the money stolen era), they became friends again and continued writing songs. Bob also has other musical projects and folk to write songs with. Maybe working with Francis satisfied his desire to write songs for Quo, and he didn't need to write with the other band members. That's probably it CG, It's a shame would love to hear some Parfitt/Young compositions ect. Nightride, Mystery Song, a couple of greats.

Andy certainly co-wrote a few that appeared from'78 onwards, primarily with Rick but also with Francis & Alan - never with Bob, I think According to the writing credits, "Falling In Falling Out" was written by Rick, Andy and Bob. It's the only song on the album he has a credit on, and perhaps the last Quo song he co-wrote for a long time ("Invitation", "Keep Me Guessing" and "Late Last Night" were all demoed in the late 70s, but not properly recorded until the ITAN era). Well spotted - there's nearly always an exception that proves the rule!
