Osaka 1976, does this mean they've found additional tapes from the Japanese 1976 tour from which Tokyo Quo was released? Or are we expecting a bag o shite audience recording?

Well, the last three albums have been bags of shite soooooooo.... According to this website the Audio quality for the Osaka show is 3. While the Australia one released with Quo Live a couple of years ago is a 4 and that's not all that great, the German show from 1975 that's on OTL deluxe is a 4+, so I don't think it bodes well. www.quogigography.net/47.html

I have the full Tokyo gig bootleg... I remember someone shared it on Rickys board. If it is a bootleg they'll be using, and it probably will be, it won't sound good at all.
I'm curious about Wild Side of Life Rehearsal Version though... will it be from the 1982 jamming session?

Repeating myself here.... I know one of the usual suspects will go balls deep on the whole "Rossi basher" thing here but.....
Why in God's name can he not take a more hands on approach with these reissues?
I mean, other musicians get involved in their reissues and try to make it better and worth the money but, he doesn't... Instead, we're greeted with shit bootlegs, which is insulting to the listener. We get our knickers in a twist if someone tries to make a few quid off a bootleg and yet, here is a brand, expecting us to pay 15 quid for it...
Obviously Alan and John won't be asked to be involved.. Rhino and Leon have no business been involved in it so why doesn't Rossi do a Jimmy Page or a Noel Gallagher on it?

Perhaps they're just rather generous. Either way you're right, this doesn't bode well.

Because he can't be arsed and reputedly doesn't do nostalgia? Cheers

He seems to have a problem in listening to himself playing live, all he hears is the mistakes. It is a shame he's not more like Brian May or Roger. They have a very tight reign over the Queen product and do not let any inferior product out, that's why live at the Rainbow took so long they tidy it up . I noticed a program about Freddie that was on a little while ago. There was a clip of Death on Two Legs from Earls court 1977. On the original footage you hear Freddie's voice break at one point. On the program though it had been autotuned.

It's a shame really... cause if he was more involved and didn't leave it to whoever, we would've had much better 'Deluxe' releases than the half arsed ones. Not just that though but Quo don't particularly look after their recordings/archived footage... From what I've heard, they found the 'missing' RAOTW masters when Rossi was moving house didn't they?

So they have found 2 tracks from the Stoke concert, Most Of The Time & Roadhouse Blues, recorded on 2nd March 75, which was the day after the Southend Kursaal gig, in which Juniors wailing, Roll Over Lay Down & Roadhouse Blues was recorded. I'm assuming that the Rolling Stones mobile unit was used to record the Stoke tracks, so like the Southend tracks, should be of good quality. I wouldn't get your hopes up. "Hold the phone steady when they start and I'll press the record button...how far is the office from the stage and try not to whistle along."

Completely off topic but if Ricks solo album were to be released... would Rossi get royalties? cause he was credited as to playing on them when a few tracks were released as B-sides under the Quo brand.

I wouldn't get your hopes up. Gerdundula was recorded as a sound check from Stoke, on the live ep, so the live recording's of Most Of The Time & Roadhouse Blues, should be of the same quality, but saying that, you could be right. We might be lucky with those. As the Stoke gig is not listed under the gig website as having a bootleg done, neither is Southend the night before. So maybe these tracks will be proper quality.

Not sure though Late Last Night was a old Quo song written by Parfitt/Young/Rossi back in the 70s. So he would get a writing credit for that one. Not sure on Don't Give It Up, Rick and Francis are credited writers. Though I thought that was a old song of Rhino's. Halloween again has a writing credit for Francis but I don't know how much he was involved with or how old the song actually is. Long Legged Girls is a Parfitt/Williams track so I doubt he would get anything for that.

It's a bit of a weird one, cause I understand Late Last Night was an unused 70's Quo track but Don't Give It Up and Halloween sound more early 80's Parfitt... I think Halloween was a Parfitt/Williams track because I don't see Rossi doing any guitar parts like the ones on the track, especially the solo... where as when Pip did the Late Last Night solo on Ricks solo album, he did it how Rossi(?) originally played it
