About

Never Too Late is the fourteenth studio album by English rock band Status Quo, coproduced by the group and John Eden. Released on 13 March 1981, it had been recorded at the same sessions – at Windmill Lane Studio, Dublin – as its predecessor Just Supposin'. It reached number 2 in the UK Albums Chart. This was the last album to feature the 'frantic four' formation of the band as in late 1981 drummer John Coghlan departed the band, with Pete Kircher replacing him early the following year.
