Album Introduction
If You Can't Stand the Heat... is a studio album by Status Quo — Francis Rossi (guitar and vocals), Rick Parfitt (guitar and vocals), Alan Lancaster (bass), John Coghlan (drums) and Andy Bown (keyboards) — from London, released in 1978 on Vertigo Records. The album reached No. 14 on the UK Albums Chart. Again and Again reached UK No. 13 (1978) and Accident Prone reached UK No. 36 (1978). The 10-track album demonstrates Status Quo's trademark boogie rock sound — driving rhythms, powerful guitar riffs and the distinctive Rossi-Parfitt twin-guitar interplay — giving them a position as one of the UK's most commercially successful and enduring rock acts of the 1970s.
Stand-Out Tracks
- Again and Again — One of the most immediately distinctive and commercially effective recordings on the album; its combination of a driving, boogie-rock production and Rossi's completely assured vocal gives it a sustained commercial appeal that made it one of the defining recordings of Status Quo's late-1970s era. UK No. 13 (1978).
- Accident Prone — A warm, mid-tempo rock track that gives the album one of its most melodically generous and emotionally direct moments; its combination of a warm, guitar-led production and Parfitt's completely assured vocal gives it a sustained commercial appeal. UK No. 36 (1978).
- Long Legged Linda — A driving, guitar-led track that gives the album one of its most immediately energetic and commercially effective deeper cuts; its combination of a driving, boogie-rock production and the band's ensemble performance gives it a sustained energy.
- Oh! What a Night — One of the album's most atmospherically distinctive and emotionally direct recordings; its combination of a warm, layered production and Rossi's completely assured vocal gives it a sustained dramatic tension and emotional directness.
- Stones — A driving, rhythmically confident rock track that gives the album one of its most immediately energetic and commercially effective deeper cuts; its combination of a warm, guitar-led production and the band's ensemble performance gives it a sustained commercial appeal.
