Crikey, did Rick even know the song he was doing with Never Too Late? Mind you, considering his circumstances at the time, I can forgive him for most things. Francis is full Ronnie Barker mode, although when he bends his ankles like that, the pins and plates it my ankle scream at me. He was very supple. Should've brought out a yoga video or something. Without the leotard and headband, obviously

I always thought Never too late was a potential single. It was, in Spain. With Carol as the B side. Didn't Chart, the three singles before it all made the top 10, as did the one after it.

I was going to mention it was a single in Spain, which is why I thought they performed it. But I wasn't 100% sure. I tended to flick through the stuff after Quo. Who was that gyrating about to Fame? Was that Irene Cara I presume? If you haven't watched it, you should. It's supposed to be sexy, I think, but comes across as quite silly

That was a treat! Had no idea they've mimed it Francis doesn't look out of it either
Great track
Andy and Alan look a bit silly with those backing vocals

There's a thread on it under songs and records and a much better quality version of it

Do you know the positions for some singles (if not all) in Spain? I know from what ashakike told us, Something 'Bout was number one, don't remember if it was at the 40 principales list or it was the position of sales.

I don't now what charts these are from, it just says Spanish chart position 1973 - Gerdundula - No:16 1979 - Whatever You Want - No:2 1980 - Living On An Island - No:28 1980 - What You're Proposing - No:3 1980 - Rock'n'Roll - No:10 1981 - Something 'Bout You Baby I Like - No:8 (stated as 1980, also 1980 is the date printed on the single itself) 1982 - Dear John - No:10 1987 - In The Army Now - No:1 1987 - The Quo Cake Mix - No:13 All this is on t'web, so approach with caution

The only single sold here was the Millitary Mix, the only one 7" was one with the A Side and the B Side were the same song and the cover in black and white. The single itself doesn't say anything about being a promo, but looks more like it. I haven't seen that single in the internet or stores much often. The Cake Mix yes, I have seen plenty. I remember reading a clip from a magazine, I think from october 73 and Caroline was in the charts, but don't remember exactly where. I will have a look at it.
