You couldn't have bought this 12" in 1971 when it wasn't released til 1977.

Purchased this Canadian release of Blue for You on Capitol Label when on holiday in Toronto back in the day. Its never been played as I had the UK release
I managed to grab that here back in the day. Probably Virgin in Frederick Street where I got most of my 'import' Quo stuff. Like you, unplayed because I had the UK release.

This one I got in Jeffrey's in Bread Street? Only those from Edinburgh will remember that. Gem of a record shop it was. I also got In My Chair from there when it was in the charts. Well, my mum did
I think this was Quo's very first 12" single. If I remember correctly. Just as they were coming into vogue during the punk/new wave thing.

And those who are old enough will remember this. A flexi-disc left on every seat as you went into the gig. In this case, Edinburgh Odeon in 1979 on the If You Can't Stand The Heat tour when they were also promoting Just For The Record.
Been a long time since I played it but I think it had In My Chair on it and some sort of commentary running through it.

@buffrob, did your 12" Red Sky come with the free poster? I think it was sort of wrapped round the record.
I don't think very much that I have is particularly rare. Maybe this, although it might be more freely available these days.
mortified, sorry cant remember if it came with a free poster, and just checked to see if was still in the sleeve . I'm past pension age so the 70's & 80's are a bit of blur LOL

Not so rare but a double give away CD from The Daily Mirror, as a 40th Anniversary Souvenir. Also official live bootleg recorded in Melbourne in 2010. Had to purchase as I went to see them on this tour when I was living in Aussie.
