"Roll Over Lay Down" is a song by the British Rock band Status Quo that was first released on the album Hello! in 1973.
It was later released as the A-side of a live EP, Quo Live in 1975. It was released to celebrate the band's 13th anniversary.[1]
All of the tracks were recorded live and were taken from concerts at The Kursaal, Southend on 1 March 1975 and Trentham Gardens in Stoke the following night. The band released the EP against the advice of many people who predicted such a release would be a failure. It featured a picture sleeve that contained sleeve notes by BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel. The centre of each copy of the record was specially moulded to feature the well known 'four heads' design (drawn by J Ifield) from the sleeve of the Quo album.
All three tracks were included as bonus tracks on the re-release of the On the Level album.
