In this episode of The Quo-Cast, Jamie Dyer gives his thoughts on Francis Rossi's The Way We Were Vol 1. The album, released by EarMUSIC, is a collection of 17 demo recordings recorded in the 2000s.Many of the tracks went on to be included on Status Quo albums, including Heavy Traffic, The Party AIn't Over Yet, and In Search of the Fourth Chord. Some later found life on Rossi's second album, One Step at a Time, in 2010. Five unreleased compositions are heard here for the first time.The CD version of the album comes in a digipak with a small booklet detailing song background.

It's May 2025 — and what a month for Status Quo fans! Not only is the 8-disc expanded edition of Quo Live dropping, but The Way We Were – Volume One by Francis Rossi is also on the way!This collection brings together demos recorded over the past 25 years; All written by the songwriting team of Francis Rossi and Bob Young— many of which became Quo album tracks, singles, or appeared on Francis's 2010 solo album One Step at a Time. 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.

The Quo Universe is buzzing with the upcoming Quo Live box set – and in this video, I'm offering a condensed breakdown of what to expect. If you've missed out on the recent Record Store Day vinyl release, or you're wondering how to get your hands on the full Glasgow Apollo 1976 performances, this is for you!

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".
