Perfect Remedy


Perfect Remedy is the nineteenth studio album by British rock band Status Quo. In terms of British chart success, it marked a new low for the band, reaching a high of only No. 49 during a two-week run. The two singles from it, "Not at All" and "Little Dreamer", peaked at No. 50 and No. 76 respectively. In Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt's duel 2004 autobiography, XS All Areas, Rossi said that it sold well in Europe and Australia, but they were back to square one in Britain: "I don't know why it did so poorly. You could argue that the scene had moved on." Affairs quickly returned to normal in the UK when their next studio album in 1991, Rock 'Til You Drop, reached the top 10.
