Status Quo remake hit for Army charity

Mon, 16 Aug 2010

Status Quo will release an updated version of their 'In The Army Now' track to raise funds for the armed forces, the song will feature backing singers from the Corps of Army Music.
The release is set for September 26th through Universal as the original track is reaching its 25th anniversary back in 1986.  'In The Army Now' became one of the biggest selling records of the 80's around the world.


All profits of the re-worked release will go towards the British Forces Foundation and Help For Heroes charities.

"It seemed like the right time to do this. This release is intended to show our support for the Allied Forces around the world, but in particular, of course, the British Armed Forces. We want people to celebrate what they do, say thank you and also support these vital charities." Francis Rossi says on the bands official website.

The Music video was filmed at the Kiwi Barracks of the 4-Rifles regiment and at the National Tank Museum and is filled with ';hilarious footage of the band being put through their paces on the drill square, getting behind the wheel of some seriously heavy military hardware, and much more. The video is an unalloyed triumph and a testament to the work of the British Army. The band were so enamoured by the Sergeant Major who took charge of them that they asked him to deliver the classic "Stand Up And Fight!" line on the single.' 

The CD will include the following tracks: 

1. In The Army Now (2010)
2. Caroline (Live)
3. Whatever You Want (Live)
4. In The Army Now (2010) (Radio Edit).
