Lew Lewis Reformer

If albums were judged on their hit single yield, "Back To Back" would be one of Quo's best. There were four in all and the first two, ahead of the album's release, gave no hint of what was to follow. Alan Lancaster's "Ol' Rag Blues" and the cover of an Elvis hit, "A Mess Of The Blues", were standard Quo without being remarkable. As a whole however "Back To Back" panders more to the plastic pop of the era and suffers from a lightweight production.
