QPQ for me. The 4 opening tracks swung it. But I agree Bula has some really good melodies on it. Very hooky. Like has been said the association with the film does it no favours.

QPQ best album they’ve released since Never Too Late
Some great rockers on there, played with lots of oomph.
Something on there for everyone and the brilliant Dust to Gold.
Apart from Ricks solo album, I play this more than any post 1982 Quo album. Mmm, I wonder if they recorded this at ARSIS, Rossi’s studio in Surrey?

I’ve got my doubts about that. To me their is non or very little Rossi on Ricks tracks and vis Versa.

As far as I remember the album was recorded rather fragmented at various studios and there were three different producers as well, with Rick producing his own tunes. He probably didn't want to leave Spain (and his young family) more than absolutely necessary. Question is, was it necessary at all ? I do remember speculations from the time whether everybody played on all tracks at all ?
On the other hand - these days you can send files with recordings from one place to another easily, so to record an album together no longer means having to be in the same room (or country).

Rick didn't produce anything on QPQ, but his songs on BQ.
Francis did explain in the Hello Quo! documentary that it was not a case of all five guys playing together in one room. I suppose this is one reason why the album doesn't quite have the feeling of the 70s stuff.
