Flexible Friends = 3 CD = (CD)
Which band has, over the years and many gigs, featured more than 30 members, including Status Quo's Rick Parfitt, Alan Lancaster, Andy Bown and Bob Young, Whitesnake's Micky Moody, Bernie Marsden and Neil Murray, Phil May from The Pretty Things, Ray Minhinnett, Jackie Lynton, Lemmy, John Gustafson and Chrissie Stewart? The answer is John Coghlan's Diesel. Drummer John Coghlan originally came together with Francis Rossi and Alan Lancaster in 1962. A couple of years later, they hooked up with Rick Parfitt, and in 1967 became Status Quo. After initial forays into psychedelia, by 1972 the Quo had settled on their trademark blues and boogie fuelled hard rock, soon becoming household names with a string of hit singles and hit albums.

Diesel would be a band that Coghlan would return to and reassemble whenever Quo were off the road, and when suitable band members could be enlisted. After Coghlan's departure from Quo following 1981's "Never Too Late", he was able to concentrate on outside musical ventures, including the short lived Partners In Crime project. Diesel would record a whole studio album, but only the single 'River Of Tears' backed by 'No Moon Shines' would see the light of day, and even then as a limited Swedish release on the Västfront Produktion label in 1992. The album was subsequently shelved, but it didn't seem right for this collection to languish in the vaults unreleased, so now we have "Flexible Friends", named after the fact that by it's very nature, the line-up of Diesel had to remain flexible, dependent on who was around at the time and available to join in. As well as the aforementioned single, the album features covers of Frankie Miller's 'Ain't Got No Money' and Jimmy Reed's 'Baby What You Want Me To Do', and includes revisits to Quo's 'Living On An Island' and 'Mean Girl'.
