• Song:

    Gentleman Joes Sidewalk Cafe

  • Artist:

    Status Quo

This song was meant to be released by Pye records as Status Quos' first US single but at
last minute it was decided to release it as the B-side of 'Pictures of Matchstick Men', 
Double-A record and it went to number 20 in the US billboard ratings.

I searched every where for this but in the end it was quicker to work it out.
