If You Can't Stand the Heat...

Untitled

If You Can't Stand the Heat is an album by English Rock band Status Quo. Recorded at Wisselord Studios, Hilversum, Holland, and produced by Pip Williams, it was released in October 1978 and reached No. 3 in the UK album chart. The sleeve notes that Aphex Aural Exciter was used in the recording process, thus contributing to a more atmospheric sound than its predecessor, "Rockin' All Over The World". Unusually for a Status Quo record, a brass section, The David Katz Horns, was used, as well as a backing vocal trio, Jacquie Sullivan, later a member of Bananarama, Stevie Lange and Joy Yates.

Despite the album's success, the two tracks released as singles fared less well. "Again and Again" reached No. 13, while "Accident Prone" (perhaps a prophetic title) only made No. 36.
