As any old Quo messagebaorders will know, I've always been interested in early Quo stuff. Been listening to Picturesque Matchstickable Messages over last few weeks again, its has always been a bit of a favourite right back feom when I first got into the band as a 15 year old. I was listening to Hello and Piledriver at same time I was listening to 'Ice in the Sun', Black Veils..', Gentlemenjoe, Pictures of Matchstick etc.
I'd love to hear some more of these played live a bit more even if it was even just at Accoustic shows.
(even if it meant taking out truly dreadful Margerita Time and Dont drive my car').
Thoughts anybody?

Ice In The Sun was written by Marty Wilde (Reggie Smith) who lived in the same road as my dad way back when. My dad got a parental battering for teaching young Reg to say "I've shit myself. Strangely this story is not on any sleeve notes.

My favourite track of that era was When My Mind Is Not Live, the b-side to Ice In The Sun.

I'm also a fan of the fiskadelic period. Few songs I don't like much, but some favourites from PMM and SP include Technicolor Dreams, Nothing At All, When My Mind Is Not Live, Antique Angelique, Make Me Stay A Bit Longer and Little Miss Nothing Also the transition phase at the turn of the 60's/70's decade from fiskadelic to boogie rock is surely one of the most fascinating and exciting in rock music An extra reason really why I became a fan back in the 70's. Having bought the catalogue to date in the mid 70's in a haphazard order, I remember getting the Golden Hour album and finding some of these early fiskadelic gems. Back then, the contrast in style within a few year period was an even bigger surprise and intrigue than it remains all these years later

Yes I got the Golden Hour album which really set me off with the band.
The cracking double album 'Singles Collection 1966-73' pretty much covers all the singles and the other disc has Spectres and Traffic Jam stuff and loads of demos right upto the Dog album.
Am not a fan of Antique Angelique either but really like Tune to the Music, uswd to try and play it myself. I could imagine them playing that live just before they went full on hair and denim?

Not a fan I'd rather listen to Bula Quo Cheers That's quite the statement. Is it the actual album or the genre you don't like?

Tune to the Music is great - a clear signal of intent of what was to come

A lot of fans likes that dustpipe song, but compared to Tune to the Music, nah... IMO.
I find the early works charming and sweet, but mostly they are a bit to poppy for me.

I remember trying to play Tune to the Music age about 17 or 18(1982ish), with a borrowed telecaster from my bandmate, a REAL tele!! and it was green, I'd only ever had crappy cheap guitars before and here was the real thing,
I was so nervous about playing a real tele, I could hardly hardly hold the plectrum😀. Got it done though after about 2 hours trying

Psychedelic and funkadelic I've heard, but that?
