følgende:
"'In The Army Now' was written and first recorded in 1982 by the Dutch
brothers Rob and Ferdi Bolland. Originally entitled 'You're In The Army
Now', the song was released as a single (credited to Bolland) in March 1982
and was later included on the Bolland concept album 'Domino Theory', in May
1982. When the brothers and their band signed a deal with A&M Records early
the following year the track was issued, again as a single, in February
1983.
Francis Rossi had first heard the track played on a pirate radio station and
actually bought a copy himself. He played the record regularly, but waited
until he felt the time was right for Quo to record this type of song."
