Not sure if anyone posted this already, but Hold You Back does appear to be the Christmas Single from Quo or whatever you want to call them.
Heard it on the Chris Evans show this morning. Sounds like they added jingles to the track to make it "Christmasy"

You start to play the music, put the wreath upon the door. Can Santa really make it if there's no chimney anymore? It nearly is the season full of wants and not a need. Are you trying hard to please 'em just to satisfy their greed?
Hold you back, hold you back, and slow you down. Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down. Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down. Slow you down, you've gotta try.
Does the gift that you're wrapping remind you 'bout the time? Does the card that you're writing sound to you just like a rhyme? Will there be an answer when they stop their asking why? All because of the wonder that makes up this nigh'.
Hold you back, hold you back, and slow you down. Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down. Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down. Slow you down, you've gotta try.

I can verify the original poster. It was indeed on Chris Evans this morning. And it is the Xmas single. What has become of this once mighty music machine?

Hold You Back is poppy anyway. It's hardly in the ROLD vein. Quo did pop long before the FF split. So Hold You Back with Christmassy jingles is no biggie really. Tbh it's an upbeat bouncy poppy number so a good choice for a Christmas single. Mind you, it's Aquostic II, and I've not even heard anything after ROLD on AII, so what do I know?! I expect it's , going by the first 3 tracks on AII.

Like The Winner, Quo think this is what people want, and by adding bells and whistles it will somehow improve a truly lacklustre version. It won't!
Releasing a standard Quo song and telling radio stations that it is a Christmas single is asking for trouble. More money for old rope.
Face it, guys. Aquostic II is long gone now.

It would be better, imho, if they re-released "It's Christmas Time" once again, with some bells and whistles... poppy, quirky, and already equipped with the sleighrides and the other stuff..... But wait.... SOMOGAG didn't like that... uh oh.... a big no-no then...

Chris Evans did say this morning, on his Christmas Song new release spot. This isn't a Christmas Song, it's a song that coming out at Christmas, we've been had. Simon Porter is probably grinning about that.

I posted this on Friendbook yesterday:
"I've just listened to it again, and confirm there are sleigh bells over the intro. Nothing fills my heart more with Christmas cheer than an mp3 file of an edited version of an acoustic rendition of a 39 year old rock song that has absolutely nothing to do with Christmas, with sleigh bells tacked on the front. Stick some artwork on there that appears to be promoting the album more than the single itself, and hey presto: Instant Magical Christmas Warm and Fuzzy Feelings!"
"Yeah there's a kid's choir on The Winner. It may well have been on the Olympic Bronze Medal Mix or whatever it was called. Another successful bandwagon attempt. This is surely being released at Christmas as another Burning Bridges?"

I'm glad it's only a picture and not a video of the performance.
