1980 studio album by Status Quo
Just Supposin` is the thirteenth album by Status Quo. Co-produced by the group and John Eden, it was recorded at Windmill Lane Studios, Dublin. Released on 17 October 1980,[2] it entered the UK albums chart at number 4.
Leer másThe Windmill Lane sessions were highly prolific for the band, resulting in two albums worth of material, Just Supposin` and its follow-up Never Too Late, released the next year.
Initially, two singles were issued from the album, "What You`re Proposing", and a double A-side, "Lies"/"Don`t Drive My Car". At the end of 1981, after the release of Never Too Late, an edited version of another track from Just Supposin`, the uncharacteristic ballad "Rock `n` Roll", also appeared as a single.
"Over the Edge" was co-written by bass player Alan Lancaster and Keith Lamb, lead singer of British bands The Case, Sleepy Talk and Mr. Toad, and founder and lead singer of Australia`s successful glam rock band Hush.
The cover art work features the launch phase of a UGM-84 Harpoon submarine missile.[3]

| AllMusic | [1] |
In their retrospective review, AllMusic mostly praised the album`s set of songs, commenting that they "married the expected boogie to a new wave quirkiness that was straight out of the year`s hippest fashion guides. It works, as well – for the most part, anyway."[1]
