Favourite Quo Album: On The Level

Wish Quo had done Hard Ride like the pirates version as it could have got on an album. Quo’s version sounds a semi demo which wasn’t quite finished. You don’t own me is not much different in comparison.. It's a bit more stripped back for sure, no layered guitars, but maybe no need either. One of my fave Quo tracks ever. Very Alan - as he would say, they had "a tough little sound going", although i believe he was referring to their early 60's days in that quote. Hard Ride, tough title, tough sound, tough guy!!

I really dislike the Quo version, whereas this is tolerable+, imo. I saw Lew Lewis supporting Rockpile at Malvern Winter Gardens on this very day 45 years ago. Some great gigs there, wish I could have got to more of them. It sounds a bit punk in places. That is one of the greatest compliments I've ever heard about a song.

For me, Quo's versions are better. Probably in the sense that they are more polished. Not really the sort of thing you'd have said about Quo in the 70's. I've had these tracks in my collection for years but I've rarely listened to them. Maybe even only the once. Talking of other recordings of Quo songs, this was recorded and released before it appeared on Back To Back. Again, for me, Quo's version is better but only in the sense that neither are that great. Maybe rhino should do a version like this it’s kind of in his style
