Considering it has Quo's best known track as the title-track, this album really is a bit of a let-down. The song themselves are fine, but 'tinny' is I think appropriate when thinking about the sound.
The trade-mark boogie is not as in evidence as it could've been, either. "Rockin'" itself is as good as ever. Others of note include "Hard Time"; "Hold You Back"; "Dirty Water" & "Who Am I".
If you're a completist then you'll need to get this, if not and you have some of the stuff on other compilations, it won't make life any less worth living not having the album.

Trademark booming bass and heavy drumbeats went missing when the 77 release from new producer Pip Williams went out. Still became one of Quos highest selling LPs and featured the cover version of CCRs John Fogertys Rockin All Over The World. Live faves such as Dirty Water & Hold Ya Back still feature in Quos live sets & with worldwide tours every year incl the 1999 release of Under The Influence , Quo continue as the peoples band rockin after 4 decades to packed stadiums everywhere. Song Rockers Rollin" inspired the Dec 99 biog book of the same name by David Oxley ( worth a read)

No one rocks like Quo!
13 May 2000
Format:Audio CD
If you wanted to look up the term "Rock n' roll band" in a music book,a photo of Status Quo should be shown.They are the quissentential rock band-the denims,long hair,the air-guitars,AND of course the 12 bar boogie.This is very evident in this no.5 UK monster album from '77."Rockin All Over The World" and "Hold You Back" are two of the 3 or 4 most favorite live Quo songs and are perfect for foot-stomping and clapping."Dirty Water" is a great audience participation song and "Rockers Rollin" is the 12 bar boogie at it's best.Yes,they may be repetitive,but I'll eat lobster and steak every night and I won't get bored.Long live the boogie!
Masterwork....!!!
