Interesting, I wonder what parts of Alan they overdubbed?
Cheers

The issue with Alan's hand even back then was mentioned in the recent book, "Decades - Status Quo in the 1980's"
A suggestion is made that the slight issue then could have been the early stages of MS, although that's a bit of a leap.
Still, you never know. We'll never know.

Remember reading that 'Back in the Day'
The final Quote of "If you work hard, then something will come of it. If you think you're good, just carry on, and don't let anyone tell you that you aren't" is a Legendary one

Thanks for posting matt. Enjoyed that. Francis got £1400 for writing POMM - wow! A tidy sum of money in 1968!

Jumping to conclusions it wouldn’t be a surprise that it was early stages of MS I assume

"I don't visualise myself at 65 still rocking."
Rick Parfitt at 65.

Thanks for posting matt. Enjoyed that. Francis got £1400 for writing POMM - wow! A tidy sum of money in 1968! Good read thanks. I remember reading in a book somewhere Rossi got £1800 royalty cheque for Matchstick men & other band members received £900, which caused a bit of friction within the band at the time. Back then the average UK wage was about £20/week or £1000 per year. Not bad considering the lads would’ve only been about 19. On a similar theme I can remember reading an article about Rossi receiving £50k royalties for the Hello album in 1973. |

Yeah, so maybe not such a huge sum after all. It just feels you could do more with £1400 in the late 60s than £25k these days! |

quodec you are spot on Average UK house price in 1968 was just over £4000 Average wage was £ 1144 Average wage now £25k Average price of house now £258000. At a push £25k might get you a 10% deposit

I also wonder how Parfitt & Lancaster felt about Bob Young's share of the revenue. U2 and Coldplay avoided this by making sure everybody got equal shares.
