It was in Ireland (b/w Calling The Shots) and a few other countries, Germany by the look of one of your links.

According to discogs, it was released in Germany, Ireland, Netherlands & Spain. I Love Rock & Roll was the b-side in Germany, Riverside in Spain.

I’ve no idea why I’m keeping it! ‘Jealousy’ itself ain’t bad (that’s not the same as saying it’s good, btw!) but the b-side is worse than shite, would’ve fit nicely on B2B alongside GDTT🤣🤣

Oh boy. Terrible.
And look at the way Francis and Alan look at each other at the beginning of the song. They are not happy with each other. I can appreciate why. How could Alan face his family with this Rossi/Frost solo shit?? Yup, fine for a solo record but so far removed from Quo. The whole band look uncomfortable and just plod around. Even Margie Time had more movement.
All their solo efforts made their way onto this album and how fractured and bizarre it all was.

The Irish (non-picture sleeve) single with catalogue number QUO9 is a nice collectible, it crops up fairly regularly on EBay, etc. and expect to pay 30-50 pounds for a copy.

A skipper from the start for me. I really didn't like it. But, even so, I spent years trying to track down a copy of the single, not just for the collection but because I'd never heard Calling The Shots. I eventually managed to get this one. It's Dutch I think. It certainly has 'Made in Holland' on the label. Things didn't improve with the Rossi/Frost solo version. But it was obviously a song that Francis was proud of given the exposure it was given and the fact he re-recorded it. Incidentally, I know it gets a panning, but I happen to quite like Calling The Shots. Just do, right?

Assume the chart performance of She Don't Fool Me had something to do with it. Peaking at 36 was a pretty poor performance in those days, had it been top 10 or maybe even top 20 they might have gone for a third single from the album and released Jealousy in the UK.

Saddo that I am, I have a copy of every version of Jealousy everyone has put up on here. Madness, it must be an illness.

I don't mind calling the shots, probably because it took me years to track it down
I don't mind jealousy. The main idea / riff is very good. The song is written around it, which is poor. Only drugs can explain why Francis pushed for it as a single
