While the music contained on this album might not be some of Quo's best, my review is mainly for the remastering and sonic quality. The only people on the planet who will ever read this, are you, the Status Quo fan. You already know all about the music. This review goes out to "you all", the Status Quo "fanatics", who are contemplating dropping some cash on this purchase. Do it!! Tim Turan has done a fabulous job with all these remasters and "RAOTW" might be the crowning jewel of the lot. Like I mentioned earlier, musically "RAOTW" may be one of the "frantic fours" lesser moments; and the sound quality on past releases (even the vinyl) did drag the album down a bit. The remastering job here does just the opposite, it actually makes the album better. I can write about brightness, sonic nuances, warmth & tone until I'm blue in the face and still just be scratching the surface.
So enough already, just add this to cart now. You might as well buy all the Status Quo remasters now and save on shipping. You're eventually going to buy them all anyway, so now's as good as time as any!

This was a strong quo release , however it wasn't harder rock as their releases had been since 1970. It has a mixture of it and poppier rock. But quo does great pop rock so that is not a problem, the band was still riding high and at their peak in many ways here. Fans of the harder rocking releases will like this one less than what came earlier perhaps but it's still a dynamic and fun release with several big hit singles on it. IN fact most quo cd's had several big hit singles on them! which is a awesome accomplishment. THis is still a strong cd with not a bad song on it unlike their 1983-2000 era of discs. (which still had lots of good songs but were often way too poppy). This is alot better though even the poppier songs have a rockier edge; songs like 'baby boy' could be a pop hit even today probably. The title song was taken from john fogerty who had a excellent release a few years earlier with it. That cd is worth owning too.

This is one of my favorite cd.hard times,dirty water ,and hold you back ,are great songs.If you are looking for a started cd ,why not try rocking all over the world,it a good start.

ROCKIN' ALL OVER THE WORLD is yet another great CD by Status Quo. Some people say that their titanic period ended with the 1976 live album, but that's not true. This album includes many great rockers, including an incredible cover of the John Fogerty-penned title track. The fact that bandleaders Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt believe that the young Australian tourist jailed in Indonesia since 2005 for drug-smuggling was falsely convicted makes this CD an essential purchase for both your ears AND your conscience.
