Finally ! One of Quo's best albums on CD

(5 out of 5 stars)

"To me, "Whatever you want" is one of the best Quo albums ever. I was extremely disappointed, when "Phonogram" released this album as part of their "Back to Back" series, omitting one of the best tracks : "High Flyer". But "Universal" finally set the record straight and the remastering (as it is with this whole series of recent Quo re-issues) is brilliant. The album sounds great, and the bonus tracks add a nice touch to an already perfect album :

"Hard Ride" is another one of those excellent Alan Lancaster songs, while the demo versions of "Another Game in Town" or Rearrange" are definitely worth listening to (however, all these tracks were already released on the "Rockers Rollin'" box set). But it's the original 10 songs that will stand the test of time. Fast rockers like "Shady Lady" and "Runaway", classic Quo like "Whatever you want", "Who asked you", "Your smiling face" or "High Flyer", and the brilliant single "Living on an Island" all got 5-Stars on my iPod. But again, there is not one single weak track on this CD - so go out and buy it !

Thank you Amazon for offering this through your import section.... since there is no official release planned in the USA.
