A Bit of What You Fancy (30th Anniversary Edition) is an album by London Quireboys, released in 1990. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 1 countdown appearance in total. The biggest is “7 O'Clock”, on 1 list with a best position of #741.
A Bit of What You Fancy was the Quireboys' first full-length album, put out by EMI on 29 January 1990, and it swaggers in like a London gang with no intention of calling last orders. Jim Cregan and George Tutko produced it, and the sound is ragged, boozy hard rock with the blues running right through it: gang-shouted choruses, loose-limbed grooves and guitars that strut rather than shred. Ian Wallace, once of King Crimson, sat in on drums as a session hand.
Four charting singles went out ahead of it, "Hey You" the biggest of the lot, and "7 O'Clock" is in the running order too. The album climbed to number two in Britain, went gold and remains the best seller they ever had. In 2021 the band cut the whole thing again from scratch to mark 30 years, and this anniversary edition is that rerecording.
