The track sequencing does make the two sides almost exactly the same length, presumably the objective they were trying to achieve.

Cast your mind back to going on holiday in the 80’s and early 90’s to Spain. Gift shops would often have outside whirlygig racks of tapes, often with dubious provenance.

My sister brought me a CD back from Spain, back in the mid-90's or so, and it had tracks on it I'd never heard. Heavy Daze and Better Times to name but two. I was delighted. Mainly coz she never buys me anything  |

It was this. Unquestionably a bootleg but, to be fair, it had a whole load of stuff on it I never even knew existed at the time. And quite good quality. All quite commonly available now of course.  |

This is the reverse sleeve 👍 Nice little collection. Don't think I've ever heard You set the world on fire. Is it on anything official? |

Not that I know of, roadhouse. The sound quality of that track isn't great - a bit like a wobbly tape - but you can tell it had Quo potential by the sound of the guitars. It's also, I would say, a typical Rossi/Frost number in that it is quite light with a bit of a, for me, mundane chorus. I suspect it's simply something Francis and Bernie threw together. It does say "Francis Rossi's home studio 1980". No idea how to put it up on here though. I guess it might be on YouTube somewhere. |

mortified it sounds like something out of the B2B sessions if I had to guess. Sounds later than 1980. And sounds more like Kircher on drums. Gotta say its typical Rossi/Frost in style.
