Interesting!!! I started to buy SQ vinyls beginning 83 in Spain. I remember that my sister bought 2 compilations of something called "BEST HITS of 81 and then the following year BEST HITS of year 82. I guess this was launched for Christmas 81 and Christmas 82. In the one of 81 was included What your propossin and in the 82 was included something bout you babe I like...I always wondered why this last one was included as a hit that year but I understand now. I did not know it reached NUMBER 1 and was a Big hit at The PRINCIPALES ! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) My cousins also had the Whatever you want Single which I used to listen to as a Kid when I visited them. Interesting too that Gerdundula made n.13 in 73!! But surprised Down Down did not chart!!

I discovered that SBYBIL was Nº 1 in 40 Principales cos years ago I saw it on the official 40 Principales web. They were remembering the 80´s numbers 1 on that channel. From 70 to 81 Quo were very popular here in Spain and later with ITAN and The Anniversary Waltz. Gerdundula was very famous here back in 73 due to the Best Of album from PYE. I have a spanish Music mag from 1973 were Gerdundula is listed on the charts. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

What are the Spanish altered running orders of On the level? Can you please upload a pic of the back sleeve? The running order from the spanish edition is the same but the back cover is different (no gatefold and has wrong running order on the back). The lp is the same as the UK one less Bye Bye Johnny (no crowd singing) The oldest versions are from 75 and 77. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) ![]()

Which suggests they use the same version as the Spanish version on the box set.

They must've done a few different takes of Never Too Late because at 4.15 Rick is at the mic stand and 1 second later he's in front of the drum kit. I don't see it. Not at the time you mention in the video.

It's funny, I have a press from 75 (which I believe it's the second, don't have the picture with Rick in the middle of the backcover, it's like ashakike put, with the order inverted) and a 77 press (but I'm still missing the first press, VERY recently I noticed it existed), none of those vinyls have the crowd singing (you can hear for a very little moment the fade in from the crowd, but cut as the stylus is in the end groove), but also I have a first pressing cassette and the You Never Walk Alone crowd IS THERE.

I'm assuming that the Spanish Gerdundula was the same as the UK release in 1973 which came out about a month or two before Caroline and had Lakky Lady as the B-side. It never charted in the UK. It was just PYE doing their thing (see what I did there? ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) ) Then again, I could be assuming wrongly.

It was just PYE doing their thing (see what I did there? ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) ) Then again, I could be assuming wrongly. Could be, the were two singles from the Dog in Spain released at the same time as the album, Railroad cut in two parts, and Gerdundula (all that said from the single is listed from 1972, maybe it was ready in 1972 but sold in 1973, the B-Side of the spanish single is Nanana, not Lakky Lady and another third single with a song from the dog was Mean Girl (B side Tune to the Music) from 1973, so who knows. But I don't really know when Piledriver was released in Spain. Says 1973, but what came first? Piledriver or the Mean Girl single? Also, as a note, most of the spanish people called it Gerundula, not Gerdundula. It's strange, as the only site listed like that is on the inlay of the first pressing cassette of the Dog.

In the UK, Piledriver came before the Mean Girl single and after Paper Plane. No singles were released from Dog of Two Head when the album first came out. Only Tune to the Music was the same year (1971). PYE began to exploit Quo's new found popularity from early 1973 onwards.
It looks like singles were released from the Dog album in other countries before 1973 👍

Not at the time you mention in the video. Go to 1:44 and you'll see the edit Also, Rick is missing a saddle from the bridge of his Schechter Tele is only playing with 5 strings.
