Why doesn’t Richie Malone sing on this song? Good to see Andy taking lead vocals tho as he wrote the song with Rick

A lot of Richie Malone's Guitar work is played in keys much higher than Rick Parfitt played it.
It sounds light and 'tinny'
As a rhythm Guitarist I like to stay down the bottom half of the neck.
After John & Alan left the Band, Francis & Rick changed the sound of their Guitars.
They moved away from the deep, rich sounds, to much lighter sounds.
It can't have been accidental, they're not stupid people.

The Cabaret QUO fans are similar to Elton John fans, that conveniently ignore the fact that he (Elton) hasn't been able to sing all the high registers since his throat operation on the 80's.
Elton used to do all the high notes in Crocodile Rock, now the back-up singers have done them since Elton's operation.
QUO haven't been the same or as good since SPUD left.
1982 & Back-to-Back had a couple of solid Rock songs the rest were embarrassing.
Alan Lancaster must've felt very uncomfortable during those painful years leading him to leave in 1984, only to return for LIVE AID in July 1985.
Nuff was a lovely fella, I met him a few times in Sydney.

The current Cabaret QUO are pretenders.
The crowds only go to the concerts for the iconic name and the iconic songs that they butcher and destroy.

Have you all heard Rick Parfitt's final album??
That is a solid, thumpin' album.
Rick's vocals are superb and sublime.
The album's sound was full, with rich, deep Guitar chords, played in the right keys.
Rick's album is a trillion times better than Cabaret QUO's mediocrity.

During QUO LIVE's 16" 43' version of 4500 Times, was Rossi devising ways to destroy the greatest Rock Band in history.
Rossi was thinking " How can I get rid of Spud & Nuff?"
The first devious step Rossi took was to get Pip Williams to produce 1977's RAOTW album.
I was very excited when I got the album home, only to be deflated and let down when I heard it.
They were well written songs, recorded very poorly.
Luckily, they bounced back in 1979, 1980 & 1981 with 3 extremely great albums.
Then Rossi pulled the plug in 1982 & 1983 and QUO went down the
