Album Notes & Community Reviews

Status Quo's twenty-fourth studio album is a covers record in the boogie rock idiom the band codified, produced by Mike Paxman and devoted to rock and roll standards of the previous century. Only the title track is an original; the programme takes in 'Mony Mony', 'Once Bitten Twice Shy', 'Rock'n Me' and 'When I'm Dead and Gone', and marks drummer Jeff Rich's final album with the group.
