Never understood why such a good track never made the cut of an album. If it didn't make Want it should have been kept over for the Supposin' album. Would have been better than Name of the Game for example.
Poor Nuff.

Its a track I like, I must admit, but it must have been 20-odd years after it was recorded before I heard it.
It was a slight change of style for Quo at the time but who knows why it never made onto an album. We have it now, so that's all that matters.

Good track. Had it been on an album then I think that it would have fit better on the Just Supposin' album then on WYW IMO.

I'd have had it on the album instead of the execrable Come Rock With Me / Rockin' On

I'd have had it on the album instead of the execrable Come Rock With Me / Rockin' On I remember when CQ randomly decided to play that on one of the tours in the 90s can’t remember which one, but I remember thinking wow that’s fast Cheers

It was written by pip williams and a friend so maybe it was a royalty thing it not getting on the album? It would have been a good closing track on Whatever you want maybe if Breaking away hadn’t come into equation??

Only first heard this track when purchased the 2005 remaster cds and yes, like others have said, I've always quite liked it, it's a bit different for Quo, but just has something about it, definitely good enough to be on the WYW album, but not in place of Your Smiling Face, I like that one too.

Would have been better than Name of the Game for example. Poor Nuff. "If it didn't make Want" bit of a new one To Quo or Not To Quo. Of course it could have been written around the time of World or even as late as Heat or might even go as far back as Head or Spoon....that is the Quostion!

Of course it could have been written around the time of World or even as late as Heat or might even go as far back as Head or Spoon....that is the Quostion! Written between '78 / '79 by Pip Williams and Peter Hutchins. "Bad Company was NOT written by Alan Lancaster, despite the credits on the Rockers Rollin' boxed set. I can't remotely understand why this incorrect credit was placed, but it is in the hands of my publisher for dispute. If you study the lyrics, they aren't remotely written in Alan's lyrical style. I find it incredulous that Alan should even have mentioned in the sleeve notes something about him writing it on an 18-string guitar! I mentioned it to Frame a while back and he hadn't read any credits, nor was he aware of this issue. He did say however, "What! You wrote that one with your mate didn't you?" As I've stated before, elsewhere on the message board, I wrote this song in 78/79, with my writing partner Peter Hutchings. I'd just had an 18 string guitar made by Steve Ackworth, who'd serviced a few of our guitars and also built a couple for Frame. I fancied writing another song incorporating the B-Tuning and Bad Company was it. The version recorded during the WYW sessions was based faithfully on my old Revox 2-track demo (I still have that demo and may need it one day!) It was decided by hierarchy to leave it off the album- possibly to be held back for a b-side, or more likely because it was felt the album was complete enough anyway."

I read through this and didn't scan the speech marks, I though we have another bluehighway here. Thanks for the info.
