Dolliebloo said falling in, enough is enough and BBJ. utter shite.
As Catlady says "each to their own" but imo NEVER TOO LATE and all it's tracks is one of their best and finest hours, I have a deep affection for this album.
NTL has another CHUCK BERRY song on it, the blistering "CAROL"
If my intel is correct, CHUCK BERRY sent a TELEGRAM to STATUS QUO when he heard their version of BBJ.
Do you think Chuck liked QUO's version, yes he effin' loved it.
Did QUO record it LIVE in the studio with their best ever member on Bass and Vocals?, yes they did. Alan Lancaster was STATUS QUO!!!!
I will defend certain songs, though I won't vote against them. It's only PR and Don't Stop that should never have been recorded!!
And It's Better Now is one of their best songs spiritual lyrics with a tinge of Country for Francis.
Alan's Bass appearing to be out of time with the dual guitars was brilliant and different.

Enough Is Enough is tight & punchy with great hand clapping, it's a great filler track with a few flaws, still love it.

Everything has a vocal fragility that humanises the poignant lyrics. A delicate masterpiece by Parfitt

Na Na Na is a much maligned quirky piece by the greatest Rock band, it is self effacing and funny. Humour is one of QUO's best traits

Run To Mummy sounds like it was a lot of fun to play and record, great Bass runs and one of my fave long outros of any song I've heard, ever.

Where I Am recorded by any other band would be hailed as a masterpiece of human tenderness-Parfitt was a beautiful person-proof

Stones - The gloves that I'm wearing are made of my skin - Lancaster baring his soul. There is something charming about the below par music which wouldn't have been out of place in the late 60's. We have to remember that QUO, warts and all are a corny, daggy Rock/Pop band who've had their highs & lows due to their prolific output.
Contractual obligations have forced their hand to write and record when they weren't ready or comfortable with the material.
How many bands in history have released a studio album every year? King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard are a prolific Melbourne band who've released 8 albums in 5 years, probably more by now, though they aren't on the same level as QUO.
