Does anyone have this CD with a printed label and artwork? I have it on mini disc but I'm looking for the CD. There was a copy knocking about a few years ago that was made to look like a promo, it had a white label with print on it but no cover.
Would also like more details on the recordings, exact dates and list of musicians involved.
Tracklisting is :
1. That's All I Gotta Say 2. One Of A Kind 3. One Step Forward 4. Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is 5. She's A Mystery 6. Marseille 7. Roll Over Lay Down (Live 25.2.07) 8. Roadhouse Blues (Live 25.2.07) 9. Rockin' All Over The World (Live 25.2.07) 10.Tell Me What'd I Say/Rock Me Baby (Feat: Angry Anderson) 11. All Over Now/Stay With Me (Feat: Angry Anderson)

Not wishing to be unkind, but One Of A Kind has to be close to the worst thing I've ever heard recorded, or demoed, by anyone connected to the band. It's dreadful 80's AOR of the worst variety. You can just see the rolled up sleeves and white headbands on TOTP Other songs like She's A Mystery are a vast improvement on it, so it wasn't all bad. Don't think I've heard Marseilles or One Step Forward. Not sure. I've never seen the CD. Obviously, the first Life After Quo, and it's extended follow-up, were easy to get hold of. In the days of music stores.

In the days of music stores. Great wee tune, One Of A Kind, AOR/MOR yes, but pretty catchy, no?! Very much in the vein on what Alan was writing in his latter-day Quo years - Ol' Rag Blues, Your Kind Of Love...
One Step Forward though - utter nonsense! Don't thank me.

Re. 'One Of A Kind', I agree about the typical 80's AL output comment - shades of "I Love Rock n' Roll" in parts, I thought? For me, it was inoffensive but a world away from 10 years previous. 'One Step Forward', though I didn't enjoy at all! I heard Marseille quite a few years ago - a slow burner that builds, if I remember correctly. At the time I thought it was the best I'd heard from AL since the 70's and, when the PLC thing was rumoured I rather hoped it would be one of the tracks. It would be nice to hear that again, if only to see how well my memory serves me.

I think the first 6 tracks were shared for download from the SQMB
The ones with angry Anderson I've not heard, would be great if somebody could post a link

That's the first time I've heard Marseilles and it's AC/DC to a 'T'. Old AC/DC that is.
The opening tinkling on the guitar even sounds like the start of an AC/DC track, although I can't quite recall which one. Overdose maybe?
One Step Forward is again very 80's in an American AOR sort of way. Not my thing really. Not even then.
Interesting the way Alan's writing was heading back then. His "solo" stuff was no more attractive to me than Rick's or Francis's.
I presume tracks 10 & 11 on the CD are 4 cover versions?

Just bought the album, the Angry/Wells one on ebay. Only one left, cost me over $100 lol. Most i've spent on a cd, but worth it. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Don't know if Alan had anything to do with these recordings but will find out when i get the cd.
