For anyone who hasn't hear it check out the Fabienne Delsol version great version such a great singer. Love Quo though from this all the way to In The Army Now saw them in Melbourne in 2010r and they ROCKED HARD
Khultan: but it`s true, the Long Play that I heard many years ago ( that LP) made me shiver (excuse, my english is not so good). For exemple, the version of "spicks and speacks" from Bee Gees stays very weak if compares with the Status version: very more powerful, the "real" version. Really there was something in the air of 1967 when they play that sounds. I woul know about others LP of Status before or after that. In Brazil I get only that. Greetings!!
Todo este disco é muito, muito bom mesmo. Não há uma só música ruim. Eu tive em mãos o vinil original há anos. A capa mesmo era curiosa e marcante. Quem que entende do rock dos sixties que não conhece o famoso disco do Status Quo "das caxinhas de fósforo" ? A guitarra é igualmente formidável, creio que é uma telecaster. Até hoje me arrepio com "Paradise flat" , "Black veils of melancholy", "sunny cellophane skies", etc. Grande trabalho!! Um dos pilares do rock inglês!!!
this ain't no '70s boogie!! unfortunately I guess these guys later decided they should emulate their name more than this trippy poppy flashy little popsycle
I was trying to find any other Quo tunes apart from Pics of Matchstick Men that were any good, as most of them are silly and cheesy. I've just found one...This tune is shit hot!
Brilliant, the stuff they did in the 70s was great, but i have a soft spot for this album, and this track in particular. Rick at his best for a vocalist performance (aside from whatever you want and 4500 times) All in all a bloody brilliant true british classic 60s album!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brilliant, and let me tell you that when you were a 16 year old, just taking acid for the first time in 1969 this guitar break was ORGASMIC.
We tend to forget Quo used to be a psychedelic band. When they released "Down the Dustpipe" we all said "what the F***K...?"

Brilliant. As Pink Floyd, they should have called it a day around 1970.

My favorite wah-wah solo ever! (Okay, maybe tied for first place with Clapton's on "White Room")
