About

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 Sullivan, Stevie Lange, and Joy Yates. Track listing "Again and Again" (Rick Parfitt, Andy Bown, Jackie Lynton) — 3:41 "I'm Giving Up My Worryin'" (Francis Rossi, Bernie Frost) — 3:02 "Gonna Teach You to Love Me" (Alan Lancaster, Michael Green) — 3:11 "Someone Show Me Home" (Rossi, Frost) — 3:49 "Long Legged Linda" (Bown) — 3:29 "Oh, What a Night" (Parfitt, Bown) — 3:46 "Accident Prone" (Pip Williams, Peter Hutchins) — 5:08 "Stones" (Lancaster) — 3:53 "Let Me Fly" (Rossi, Frost) — 4:25 "Like a Good Girl" (Rossi, Robert Young) — 3:26 2005 reissue bonus track "Accident Prone" (single version) (Williams, Hutchins) "Again and Again" was the first single to be released from the album and managed to reach #13.
