When:

Short story:

Status Quo enter the UK singles chart with In The Army Now on Vertigo Records which will peak at No2 during a fourteen-week run on the chart.

Full article:

Simon Porter (Duroc Publicity) : I was taken on to publicise their tour and, subsequently the In The Army Now single. That was a moment of re-invention for Quo. People say that song was a blessing and a curse, but I think in the end it was more of a blessing. It drew a line, and the court cases with Alan Lancaster were already under way, so that was the start of a new era for them.
