"What You're Proposing" is a single released by the British rock band Status Quo in 1980. It was included on their album Just Supposin' . [2]
The B-side is "A B Blues", a non-album instrumental studio jam. Some later pressings of this single mis-credited Andy Bown as Andy Brown on the B-side composer's credit. The initial pressing run of 75,000 copies of this single were issued with a colour picture sleeve.[ citation needed ]
The song was reprised, in 2014, for the band's thirty-first studio album Aquostic (Stripped Bare) . It was featured in the ninety-minute launch performance of the album at London's Roundhouse on 22 October, the concert being recorded and broadcast live by BBC Radio 2 as part of their In Concert series.
