Maybe it's a repeat but quite enjoyable.
Good to see the orignal members back playing.
As usual in these lurid tales of success and excess there is the customary and unceremonious ritual of the dumping of the original bass player, a lot of bands do it, Wyman from the Stones, Cornick from Tull, Glover from Purple, Lane from The Faces and poor wee Alan Lancaster from Quo. Is there something about bass players ?
I had to stifle a laugh when Weller thought Quo's original members playing and touring one last time was a great idea yet steadfastly refuses to even consider a Jam reunion. He has not spoken to Buckler or Foxton since 1983.

Think he's mellowed!
Not a Quo fan myself. Good first album but downhill from then onwards.
Yes, you are correct, he retired from the band in 1993.
Glover was a replacement for the original bass player Nick Simper. Whilst Ronnie Lane quit the Faces as he did not want to be Rod's backing band. Also his MS has started showing itself.

Indeed Picturesque Matchstikable Messages From The Status Quo, (what a mouthful) (1968) Is ok as albums go but the golden era is from Ma Kelly's Greasy Spoon (1970) to Blue For You (1976).
