Status Quo - Back to Back



mp3 @ 160 kb/s

'Back To Back'
turned out to be the closing chapter for Status Quo in more ways than one.
It was the last album that they would ever make with bassist Alan Lancaster
and, sadly, it also turned out to be the last very good album that they would make for a long time.
With the exception of three songs
('Win Or Lose', 'Going Down Town Tonight' and the dreaded 'Marguerita Time')
'Back To Back' is surprisingly underrated as an album, with some top class songs on it.

The first single from the album, 'Ol Rag Blues' is a class tune,
which turned out to be another top 10 hit. The follow up, 'A Mess Of Blues'
also charted well, getting to number 15 (despite being an old Elvis Presley song,
it is still very good done Quo style)

Other good songs include 'Stay The Night', 'No Contract', It Can't Be Done'
and 'Too Close To The Ground' (A very good bluesy ballad) That just leaves
'Marguerita Time!' To be fair, the song isn't bad at all, its just that it
wasn't right for Quo, in my view - at least, not as a single. Nevertheless,
it proved to be a smash hit, reaching number 3, and proved to be the best
selling single from the album by far.

In retrospect, its almost a that 'Marguerita Time' proved to be such a hit.
Whilst that is a terrible thing to say about a Quo song, it summarily set the tone
for the next 15-20 years in terms of their music, churning out weak albums and songs
that weren't worthy of their awesome talent.
