Even more exciting: several songs in this collection have never been released in any form before!In this episode, I share my thoughts on the second teaser track, Money Don't Matter — a song that originally appeared on Quo's Heavy Traffic album in 2002 and later featured on the Driving to Glory compilation.I talk about how the demo compares to the final version, how it captures the essence of the song in a raw and relaxed way, and why it holds such strong personal memories for me. Plus, I touch on what Francis himself had to say about how the demo made him reconsider the finished track.

    In this episode of The Quo-Cast, Jamie Dyer discusses a Rick Parfitt-penned song that he believes could have been a huge hit had things been handled differently. 1985 was the year Status Quo played Live Aid was also the time the band experimented on various solo projects. Francis Rossi teamed up with Bernie Frost to release several singles including "Modern Romance" and "Jealousy" with a backing band of Pete Kircher and Andy Bown. Rick Parfitt entered the studio with producer Pip Williams to work on his solo album, where he worked alongside bassist John 'Rhino' Edwards and drummer Jeff Rich for the first time. The song "Halloween" was originally recorded for Rick Parfitt's unreleased solo album "Recorded Delivery". It was later repurposed as the B-side to the 1988 single Who Gets the Love, which was a minor hit. It was later included on Parfitt's posthumous solo album "Over and Out".
