Paper Plane was the first single I ever bought - I've been rockin' with the Quo ever since.

Mark, Camden

Mac Retford Nottinghamshire
First saw Quo live at Blackpool Opera House 1973.A big fan before then. Seen them most years since.Best song ever played live was 4500 times End of the Road Tour,Milton Keynes.18+minutes of pure live rock. Still watch it now.

Jim Cheltenham
Been listening to Quo since the seventies but never got to see them till just before xmas at the racecourse here in Cheltenham. I was initially worried that after all these years I would be disaappointed....not a chance...they were superb! If you want to go out to be entertained properly this is the only band that will do it...can`t wait to aee them again!

martin
forty years in the business - they should be knighted !!!!!! LONG LIVE THE QUO

Anthony, Darwen
Even though Status Quo means Stay The Same, They Don't they just get better and better, Paper Plane was a step up from Pictures Of Matchstick Men, just as Rocking All Over The World was from Caroline (if that is possible)

Craig, Glasgow
No frills rocking! That's what makes Quo the best,honest out and out rock band on the planet. Rossi for King, Parfitt for Prime Minister. The world would be a better place.

Gary, Ipswich
Paper Plane got me into Quo, haven't found anything yet to get me out of them!

Quo Kid - David Livingston, Scotland
I love Quo. All of their stuff! Paper Plane is a brilliant song. FULL STOP!

Stewart ( Glasgow )
All that counts is "Love" , "Your Health" and "Status Quo"

Grant, Glenfarg
Paper Plane is one of the best Quo songs i ever heard!

Jeff, Leeds
Paper Plane was the first Quo song I ever really listened to. It prompted me to save up my pennies and buy my first ever album - Piledriver, of course. It cost me £2.50 which was a fortune for a 12yr old then. I've been a Quo fan ever since, and guess I always will be!

lady mystery, croydon
loved QUO all my life.. theyre insprations to today 'up n comin' bands!

Sheila, Ovingham, Northumberland
Been a fan for 30 years and they still rock. wish I'd been old enough to buy Paper Plane cos its one of my favourites.

Paul Parfitt - Oz
I first got into Quo in '72, and this track is still one of my all time favourites !! It illustrates exactly what Quo are about, dependable, solid rock/boogie. Love it then, love it now. Lets rock !!!

John Fred, Klang Malaysia
Quo have to be the most under-rated, unpretentious British rock 'n' roll bands of all time. Their simplistic, but catchy formula of 12-bar boogie never fails to put a smile on my face.

Ian C. Llandudno
I wore out 2 copies of `In my Chair`. These days , my chair rocks!

Craggers. Suffolk
Paper Plane is my favourite Quo song. I loved it when I first heard it just over a year ago when i was 16. I'd just got into Quo and discovered their flair for boogie Rock! Long may they Rock! :)

dick the dab..gillingham..kent..
others came and others went; but the quo's still here 'cause they are HEAVEN sent...don't knock the rock...AMEN...

peter elkin, chichester, west sussex

lynne, chorley

Jon Sargeant. Stoke on Trent
They just keep getting better. Both my sons love Quo and everytime they get in the car the cd goes on and paper plane is always on. See you at the NEC in Dec. 'Keep on rockin, Dont stop!'

Mark, Northern Ireland
Saw Quo in mid seventies, lewisham odeon, "bloody marverlous" then and now ! keep on rockin

Chris, Sheffield
40 Years on & still the number one rock & roll band in the land.

alain france

Al Buck
I remember returning from Sundays out in the lakes with my parents,brother and sister,listening to the top 40 on the radio in the morris minor and Quo seemed to be on every week.Loved them then and still do now. They keep on rockin.......and thank god for it Someone has to!

Simon Axminster
Paper plane one of my fav Quo songs.Hell i love em all

Simon Cooper / London / Enfield
I have been a Quo fan for 20 years and i am only 22

Chas Holt/Cheltenham
Paper Plane got me hooked on Quo while at college in Surrey. Saw the at the legendary gig at the Greyhound in Croydon at that time. Not missed a winter gig - it wouldn't be Christmas without rocking to Quo in either November or December! 12 bar blues rock on!

Jim Berry - Landrake, Cornwall
It's a sad fact - but for some reason people in the UK don't seem to like ‘success stories’ and ‘winning formulas.’ I have been a Status Quo fan all of my life, in fact, they are a way of life. I just don’t get it - what is there to dislike like about them? Great Band, Great Songs, played brilliantly. What more do people want?

More songs.
