Description
While Status Quo were recording what became their 1+9+8+2 album, John Coghlan unexpectedly quit after almost twenty years of being in the lineup. According to Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt, Coghlan went into the studio, sat behind his kit, "tapped around" on it, "then he got up, kicked the whole kit apart walked out and that was that."
Subsequently, Coghlan played with Partners in Crime, but the band failed to earn major attention.
Ex-Status Quo drummer John Coghlan put this short-lived UK ‘supergroup’ together. Enlisting the services of Noel McCalla (vocals, ex-Moon), Mark de Vanchque (keyboards, ex-Wildfire), Ray Major (guitar, ex-Mott) and Mac Mcaffrey (bass), they specialized in Americanized melodic rock. Debuting with Organised Crime in 1985, it was obvious that this set of seasoned musicians gelled together well. Produced by John Eden (Status Quo) and James Guthrie (Pink Floyd, Queensrÿche) it was a strong album in many respects, yet failed to stand out from the numerous other acts offering similar material. The band sundered soon after the album was released.Tracklist
