Nice little number but not sure if it would have worked for Whatever you want. It is something that could have been used in the 80s or 90s on a Quo album. Francis obviously liked it enough to resurrect it for the Rossi/Rickard album.

I'd have prefered it, or almost anything else, to the execrable Come Rock With Me / Rockin' On

I'd have prefered it, or almost anything else, to the execrable Come Rock With Me / Rockin' On I really like CRWM/RO, it fits in with the autobiographical nature of a great album, anyone but Quo and this album is a seminal masterpiece but it's only Quo innit. On their own they don't add up to very much at all,but as part of the whole thing they fit right in. I can't stand Shady Lady, doesn't sit right for me....heading towards juxtaposition territory so I'll stop now.

Shady lady I like musically but the lyrics spoil it, especially the long black hairs on your legs bit..... On topic: Rearrange I like. I would have loved Bad Company on the WYW album, the Quo song that is, not the band Band Company..... To me Your Smiling Face is the song I don't care much for. Not a skipper but nothing special.

Nope, Rossi solo material. Its actually ok as a song but no way suitable for Quo - but that applies to most of his country pop material that saw the light of day from the eighties onwards and recorded under the Quo name because he could.
The Want album is perfect as it is. I am not into dissecting tracks with likes and dislikes so long as the album as a whole is great. Any weaker number is just that - a weaker number on a great album. It's a very different take on a poor album with one or two good tracks (i.e post NTL).

I really like it. Maybe some of that was the bonus of an unknown 70's song coming out years later Probs wouldn't have been recieved so well at the time Think it could have slotted into the raotw album better than wyw

It's ok but wouldn't fit on the WYW album for me.
Interesting how opinions on songs differ...Personally I love CRWM/RO and Shady Lady, for me it's Runaway that I never liked.

This is actually a really good song which probably should have been on a album somewhere.

It's a pleasant enough little song. I'm surprised Quo Lite didn't have a crack at it.

I'm with you. I mean, how long is he talking? Like, same length as her head-hair, or what? It's too ambiguous.
