1974 single by Status Quo
"Break the Rules" is a song by British rock band Status Quo from their album Quo (1974).[2] It was the only single released from the album, though it had not been the band`s choice, as they wanted the track "Backwater" to be the single.
The B-side of the single was "Lonely Night", which was not on an album until it became a bonus track on the 2005 reissue of Quo. Some copies of the single were mis-pressed with the moulded label for "Lonely Night" on both sides. Two years after release, "Lonely Night" was plagiarised by Australian band the Angels in their song "Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again", for which Status Quo subsequently received royalties.[3]
Track listing
- "Break the Rules" (Rossi/Young/Parfitt/Lancaster/Coghlan) (3.38)
- "Lonely Night" (Parfitt/Lancaster/Rossi/Young/Coghlan) (3.21)
