Roll Over Lay Down
Introduction "'''Roll Over Lay Down'''" is a song by the British Rock band Status Quo that was first released on the album Hello! in 1973.It was later released as the A-side of a live EP, '''''Quo Live''''' in 1975.It was released to celebrate the band's 13th anniversary.All of the tracks were recorded live and were taken from concerts at The Kursaal, Southend on 1 March 1975 and Trentham Gardens in Stoke the following night. The band released the EP against the advice of many people who predicted such a release would be a failure. It featured a picture sleeve that contained sleeve notes by BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel. The centre of each copy of the record was specially moulded to feature the well known 'four heads' design (drawn by J Ifield) from the sleeve of the ''Quo'' album.All three tracks were included as bonus tracks on the re-release of the ''On the Level'' album.
