He was a very soft spoken, polite, unassuming man, with a hairstyle that looked like a bird&#8217;s nest had exploded on his head. He was very much like most of the Pye\u2019s in-house producers at the time who, when they wasn\u2019t working on their own projects, appeared to have too little or no interest in the bands they were producing. They were purely fulfilling their obligations to keep their contracts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As he arrived he would say hi to everyone and ask to hear the previous nights recordings, then sit down and proceed to read his newspaper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The recording session would always start with Quo going downstairs into the studio and start playing live together, not what they were about to record, but just jamming and completely enjoying themselves.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Part of my job as a tape operator was to go down into the studio and adjust final mic positions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The volume in the room was so fucking loud it felt like your body would implode.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At about 10pm the band would be ready to record and the record light would go on.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This was the cue for Quo to perform what they did naturally, a classic rock-backing track.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Throughout the takes Schroeder, still perusing his newspaper, would whisper a few comments down the talkback mic to the band, like, \u201cTry another one\u201d. Or, \u201cThat one was OK, wanna have a listen?\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He had a completely different style of producing than I had witnessed with most other producers I had been working with.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Around midnight John would close his newspaper and go home, and the next day the whole process would start again.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Home James and don&#8217;t spare the horses!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One night at the end of the session the guys asked me where I lived, I told them Kennington South London.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Francis said, \u201cWe go that way we\u2019ll give you a lift\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was thrilled. I climbed into the back of their maroon Bentley with Bob Young driving.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bob, at that time, was the roadie, tour manager, co-writer, harmonica player and generally all round nice guy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I mentioned how loud the band were in the studio and Bob told me, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMy mom told me that apparently loud music can kill you. She said something about death and me listening to too much loud music, but I couldn&#8217;t hear her.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I felt like a member of the band as we headed down Park Lane with the 8-track stereo blasting out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we got closer to Kennington, Bob asked me where about\u2019s I lived. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDrop me by the Oval tube station,\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I replied, not wanting them to see that I lived in a block of flats that would be better if they&#8217;d been pulled down to build slums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We arrived at The Oval station and Bob said, \u201cWhere from here?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTurn left and pull over I\u2019ll get out, I can walk from here.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a little more tension in his voice Bob asked, \u201cWhere do you live?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I directed him to take another left and a right then a left again and on it goes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After 5 minutes we were almost back at the same place we started. \u201cThis is fine drop me here\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bob suddenly stoped the car turned to looked at me in the back and shouted, \u201cWHERE THE FUCK DO YOU LIVE?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I had no alternative but to direct him to the shortest route to my flats. It was about 1am when we arrived and the whole neighbourhood was deserted.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now I was here, and seeing the band didn\u2019t give a shit about what sort of place I lived in, I just wished my neighbours could have seen me, not just get out of a Bentley but also a Bentley with <em>Status Quo<\/em> inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They continued to drop me off every night after the sessions. I had no idea at that time they lived in comparatively similar accommodation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I found out a short time later after meeting my girlfriend Sue (we are still married to this day) that she lived in a prefab, next door to Francis and used to babysit Simon Francis\u2019s son.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prefabricated homes were a major part of the delivery plan to address the United Kingdom&#8217;s post\u2013Second World War housing shortage<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kennydenton.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Status-Quo.jpg?resize=840%2C775&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7177\" width=\"840\" height=\"775\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kennydenton.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Status-Quo.jpg?resize=1024%2C945&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kennydenton.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Status-Quo.jpg?resize=300%2C277&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kennydenton.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Status-Quo.jpg?resize=768%2C708&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kennydenton.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Status-Quo.jpg?w=1250&amp;ssl=1 1250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Status Quo &amp;
