This takes me back to my school days when this kind of music ruled the airwaves  the hairs on the back of my neck still stand up after hearing this
Everything is perfect right down to the smallest detail, with the added synth ingredient to bring it up to date, the guitar work, vocals and drums are spot on  I'm glad you have done this song I love it

Howard, what awesome synth's you have rolling through this me still being a kid means i dont know the original  but this is ust awesonme...it does have a late sixties feel in the arangement but the fuzzy guitar and synths still lend retro feel but modern at the same time
though like i said how would i know as i never heard the original 
but man i'm just in love with those synth sounds on this...
the guitar pieces are great too as are the drums!!!!!!
great great great all around jam ...

Nice, I'm not a big fan of the Quo's 12 bar boogies, but this song was always their best as far I'm concerned (being that it had more of a trippy 60's vibe and wasn't a 12 bar blues boogie. (my dad would kill me as he is nuts on the Quo if he read this!) awesome, your voice really fits this so well and some great sound choices, very authentic, dare I say, better than the original

Status Quo are great guys - very unassuming and down to earth. Their later music is a lot of fun and this one was an earlier psychedelic number which I've always loved. You've really done it justice, in fact I never liked the guitar in the original...and this actually sounds much better!! I'm just blown away by your versatility. Is there nothing you can't do!!? Absolutely brilliant!

I agree that this too is my fav Quo track... this is also my fav version of that track - even again the original! 
Well... it would seem I am not alone in thinking this too! 
Great mix, vocals are spot on & the feel here is flawless - especially in authenticity you really capture the magic of the era... I can imagine the psychedelic lights & patterns spinning - BiG FlaiRs (jeans) plus many happy space-out faces!
AWESOME WORK - your best to date!

I'm beginning to think that you're the love child of Keith Emerson, the way that you've incorporated that Sine waveform Moog in a number of your productions.
Very excellent version. I always love the way that your drums sound....always powerful and well done.
Enjoyed it.
