Yeah quite a few tracks were released as singles in Europe but not the UK, I really must start collecting them.

If it helps, neither did I! I don't remember having that much interest in what went out oversees, not unless you couldn't get the song here, which was rare. Strange song. Soppy and a bit embarrassing, but the "so don't you worry" bit is brilliant

A track that I really liked when the album first came out. It had that hook and change of key (a la "don't you worry" as MrWaistcoat mentions). I'm sure it was a B-side in the UK. Ol' Rag Blues, was it? I'd have to go check. Can't be ar$ed Still don't mind it. A falling of a log job for the band like "Polly" and others.

The best song on 1982 for me. Great melody and chorus

I like the song - actually, there's quite a few on 1982 that I can still 'dig' [maaan] I mean c'mon, it could have been much worse... (hello there B2B) ๐

I'll stick my neck out here and say I quite like this track. The guitar sound is great and the hook/melody/key change is very catchy. It, sadly suffers from the times it was recorded with naff sounds thrown in and a poor guitar break that makes it more poppy than it could have been. Stick this on Never Too Late with John behind the kit, strip it down a bit and get rid of the naff bits and you a cracking pop rock number. Not too much to ask? ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

With the amount of Quo material coming to a finite end, i suppose you can find yourself looking for appreciation where there was none before!
When they do finish for good, maybe we'll have a new perspective on some stuff, sort of like a bit of revisionism?
