Just had a rummage through my Quo collection, and it turns out that there are instrumental versions of these:
Come On You Reds (B-side of single with Man Utd) Gerdundula (on The Singles Collection 1966-1973) In My Chair (on This & That CD compiled by Bob Young and given away with Ltd Edn Just Doin' It book) It's Christmas Time (B-side of ICT single) Keep Me Guessing (demo) (bonus track on IYCSTH 2015 remaster) Late Last Night (demo) (bonus track on IYCSTH 2015 remaster) Living On An Island (bonus track on WYW 2015 remaster) Tune To The Music (2 versions on The Singles Collection 1966-1973)
Anyone interested, PM me.

It's, like, an EP with only two tracks on it, which for some reason was more popular, perhaps because it never overtaxed your d ecision making processes too much, you just bought a toon, like a download, only you got a free one on the other side, like, not like a download at all, sometimes a real treasure, and you skipped tracks by flipping past them in your record box. If they thought the free track was really really good, they might call it a "double", but mostly they just promoted the one track, so as not to overtax people's decision making processes, hence the name "single". And it was made of vinyl, which was really really cool, unless you left it in the car on a hot day, in which case it became hot, and changed shape, and for some unaccountable reason did not play any more But this wasn't a big risk in the UK. They even do them in CD format sometimes, maybe with a video, which is also cool, but not as cool as vinyl.

On one of the Rare Cutz CDs there's FBI - basically Francis and Rick feat. Brian May from around the Don't Stop era if I'm correct. Actually it's very good, same goes for Good Thinking and AB Blues.

How come this hasn't been moved to songs & records yet? Bit of an odd place to discuss instrumental tracks
