Allmusic Review

If You Can't Stand the Heat... is the eleventh studio album by English rock band Status Quo. Recorded at Wisseloord Studios, Hilversum, Holland, and produced by Pip Williams, it was released in October 1978 and reached #3 in the UK album chart. The sleeve notes that Aphex Aural Exciter was used in the recording process, thus contributing to a more atmospheric sound than its predecessor, "Rockin' All Over The World". Unusually for a Status Quo record, a brass section, The David Katz Horns, was used, as well as a backing vocal trio, Jacquie O'Sullivan, later a member of Bananarama, Stevie Lange and Joy Yates.

"Again and Again" was the first single to be released from the album and managed to reach #13.

The second single to be released from the album was an edited version of "Accident Prone" which stalled at #36.
