This is the intro that grabbed me from the first few notes all those years ago and I loved it and still do love this track......keep up your great work John....
This is just wonderful...why didn't I listen to Quo on YT before! Mind you, I'm an 80's kid, so this is almost like having new tracks....Rick's intro man; This one makes the room bounce live aswell...
im learning to produce electronic music and i love watching masters with a real ear... like you.... my grandad and dad were both dj's both massive quo fans too. i have a love for quo even at my young age and watching you command that desk was a joy... great vid, great work!!
I don’t know. It was always my favourite track from the album . But I always felt the entire album mix lacked the depth and boldness of other albums. blue for you is a great example. There was something almost plastic about its sound of Rockin all over the world . Don’t know really how to best describe it ? More bass ? More something with power and thump. Love the song. Sounds better live 🙏👍🏻🔥
I've heard this song 100s of times on multiple different sound systems, but I've never heard it like this before. Those harmony vocals are almost like something you'd expect from Queen, I'd barely noticed them on here. The drums sound like John is actually in the room. Also, is that an electric sitar at the end? It just sounds like any other guitar on the original mix.
In many areas we did do a great deal of multi tracking for the backing vocals. I talk about this on the RAOTW video just posted. Working on drum sounds has always been my passion and if you follow along on this channel after I complete the Quo project I'm going to cover the work of many artists that I have produced.
@@johneden-producer4614 It just shows the difference a mix can make. There's so many elements that got lost in the original. Thanks for giving us this insight into the mix.
Alan Lancaster 7/02/1949 - 26/09/2021 Bassist/Singer/Songwriter/ Producer/Genius of STATUS QUO fame, has died aged 72 of Multiple Sclerosis at his Sydney home, surrounded by his family. Born in London, he moved to Australia in 1976 after marrying his beautiful wife Dayle. Alan wrote and co-wrote many classic Rock songs The 9 1/2 minute Psych/Rock song "Is It Really Me, Gotta Go Home" was written by the Genius of Alan Charles Lancaster. Ma Kelly's Greasy Spoon album 1970 on the Astor / Pye Label. Produced by the late / great John Schroeder. Anyone who met Nuff would know first hand what a beautiful, sweet and charming gentleman he was. I had the pleasure of socialising with Alan at a few gigs in the late 80's, at some of his gigs with The Lancaster Bombers and The Lancaster / Brewster Band and The Party Boys, the latter having 2 Chart Topping Hits. " Hold Your Head Up " by Argent and " He's Gonna Step On You Again " by John Kongos. Alan produced a multi-platinum selling album for Pianist Roger Woodward. The Party Boys’ leader Paul Christie told TMN that as a rock bassist who played with a plectrum, Lancaster was one of the true greats. “He played a Kramer bass with an aluminium neck, not a wooden one. As a result he sounded like an industrial hammer bashing on steel. “He was truly phenomenal. The Party Boys needed two drummers in the line-up, it was the only way to match him.”
You really infused some much needed power into the rhythm section of this song. I wish you'd been the engineer for the original album and the next few. You could've extended the run of 10/10 albums from 1970 to 1979. I never understood how the softer production of RAOTY was supposed to appeal to the American market when, if anything, Quo were most likely to break the US with their traditional heavier sound (which, let's be honest, was never exactly "heavy" to an aurally challenging extent anyway). I'm jealous of your analogue emulation hardware! How much does a MIDI mixer of that quality with that many faders set you back?
I believen there is a lot possible with the to "flat" produced Quo albums with the modern technology. Brighting it op to a crispy heaven of guitars. It has hit you right in to your soul. Did a good job but chickenskin stay out
This is the intro that grabbed me from the first few notes all those years ago and I loved it and still do love this track......keep up your great work John....
Have you seen RAOTW yet?
@@johneden-producer4614 ... I have watched them all as and when you posted them.... great stuff John... thanks....

This track is amazing the work involved is breathtaking. Quo were more than 4 bars just listening to this tells you all you need to know.
Thank you Phil check out RAOTW I'm sure you'll appreciate the backing vocal process
i saw the man himself playing this live like 5 meters from me. I will never ever ever forget that
I LOVE IT!!!!!
Long live Quo!
Thanks HH
Nice work . Yep, the engineer is the final editor of the epic.

Love this !! Should have been there before pip Williams made a dog's arse out of production on certain albums !!
He did get it right eventually with Whatever you Want !
Talktalktalktalk.....
I would love to buy you lunch next time I'm in Nashville.
fascinating, especially without the fade outs!
wolfgang, more to come of the process and I’m gathering some outtakes along the way.
thank you John. This is like Christmas for me!@@johneden-producer4614
You’ve injected a vibrancy into the vocals and infused the instrumentation with that inimitable Quo edge of melodic rawness!!
The best I've heard this track played was "Live At Wacken"

Cheers E-knock, yes Harry is a fine example of analogue emulation but pretty digital under the hood !
At least umpteen chords man they could play my fave live track ! Parfitt and Rossi in perfect harmony !👍🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Hmm ....the drums, to me, sound like they were recorded in another room at a a different time.
