Quo (album)

Quo is a Vertigo album by Status Quo featuring Francis Rossi, Richard Parfitt, Alan Lancaster and John Coghlan. Like the previous album Hello, it consisted entirely of songs written or co-written by the group. The only guest musicians featured were Bob Young and Tom Parker, who played harmonica and piano respectively on "Break the Rules". This was the only track to be released as a single, and peaked in the UK at No. 8. The album's highest position reached was No. 2.

In retrospect this album is regarded as one of their heaviest, due largely to the influence of bassist Alan Lancaster, who co-wrote six of the eight tracks.
