I much prefer the Status Quo stuff before they reinvented the conception of the band. The 'messages era', as some audiophile fans call it, is just as highly regarded today as the subsequent material. It makes me wonder sometimes what they would have been like if they instead evolved from the 'messages' period rather than the complete makeover.
@MisterEvasion I agree. Strange how all the bands of the time had the same kind of sound. Pink floyd, the moody blues, status quo, genesis etc. and how they all diversified once the decade turned.
today I remembered this song thinking back to my time as a child. I did not know, that Rick Parfitt sung this, i think he sings it with more feel and musicality than on later albums, amazing! Very special to see these young men short time before they became a hard rock band with often monotone rhythm and melodies, of course i liked that also.
Nice...a song that isn't about falling in but falling out of. And several years later, Bread comes out with, though the music structure is quite different, another song about love but about not being the one. Nice.
I first heard and saw this on VH1classic, which I am very fond of. I totally fell in love with this song... I really didn't know that Status Quo used to sound like this once, but then again; this is not presisly the song the band is known for.
No, sorry, don't think I have. I'll check whatever old stuff I got, not that much unfortunately, and put up the lot. It'll have to be in a two weeks time though, as I'm off for holiday and Quo in Skanderborg now! Yooohooooo!! QUO Forever!! (Big grin!)
Rick is so hot.

Listen to the music at about :23 and you'll hear a short stretch that almost certainly inspired "Reflections of My Life" by The Marmalade.

Some fella called Anthony King. I think on the Spare Parts album they were trying to be the Bee Gees. Thank god Ma Kelly showed them the way.

Yes it's a really lovely song. From a Status Quo fan, it has to be an early classic.
