Back to Back è il sedicesimo album di studio inciso dalla rock band inglese Status Quo, pubblicato per la prima volta nel novembre del 1983.

Il disco

Il disco marca una sensibile trasformazione musicale della band che, da questo momento, comincia nettamente ad ammiccare al pop, secondo gli standard sonori in voga negli anni ottanta.

Tuttavia, la scelta di ammorbidire i toni espressivi non è indolore, né priva di conseguenze: suscita infatti le rimostranze del bassista Alan Lancaster provocando tensioni e contrasti che, in breve, sfoceranno nel suo definitivo abbandono della band.[1]

In effetti, le proteste di Alan trovano riscontro nel giudizio della maggior parte dei fan e il disco entra nelle Top 10 britanniche (al n. 9) ma senza suscitare eccedenti fervori nel pubblico. Graditissimi risultano invece alcuni dei singoli estratti, in particolare la ballata Marguerita Time.[2]

Singoli: Ol' Rag Blues (n. 9 UK), A Mess of Blues (n. 15 UK), Marguerita Time (n. 3 UK), Going Down Town Tonight (n. 20 UK).

Nota:

  • Back to Back rimane l'ultimo album in studio inciso dagli Status Quo con Alan Lancaster al basso e Pete Kircher alla batteria.
