About this deal

Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.

Groszmann) / " Mean Girl" - 3:53 - (Rossi/Young) / " In My Chair" - 3:14 - (Rossi/Young) / " Gerdundula" - 3:19 - (Manston/James) 12" – Pye, Release 13. 05. 1977 The Irish Charts – Search Results – Down the Dustpipe". Irish Singles Chart. Retrieved 16 February 2021. Carl went on to have a good career in the music biz for a number of years, writing songs for, among others, Ringo Starr and even recording and releasing a number of songs on Ringo’s short-lived Ring O' Records label in the mid-1970s. But for Quo fans, Carl - and especially the song he wrote all those years ago, Down the Dustpipe - has an indelible part in Quo’s history.

It remained unavailable on Status Quo's albums until the release of the compilation The Best of Status Quo in 1973, [5] and has appeared on several compilations since then. The band re-recorded it on their 2003 album Riffs, the new version being similar to the original but about 20 seconds longer. The song was reprised, in 2014, for Status Quo'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.

I only ever met him the once, but he impressed me as a really good guy, a talented musician and songwriter, and he was very generous in sharing his recollections of some great days gone by.A demo version of the song was recorded by Welsh band Man, who were hired by Pye Records as a studio band. They taught their arrangement of the song to Status Quo, who adopted it without changing much. In the future, whenever the two bands met, Man found it entertaining to keep reminding Status Quo of who did the original arrangement for their hit single. [4] Down the Dustpipe" is a song written by Australian singer-songwriter Carl Groszmann, and recorded by Status Quo. As is well known, Dustpipe was written by Carl Groszmann, who was originally from Queensland, Australia. Carl had some success in the music biz in Australia in the late 60s in a group called Steve and the Board. He went by the name Carl Keats at that stage – his mother’s maiden name, maybe a bit cooler and definitely easier to spell! Carl wrote or co-wrote a number of hit singles for Steve and the Board, which was fronted by Steve Kipner, the son of legendary Aussie music producer of the 60s and 70s, Nat Kipner. Steve Kipner re-located to the UK in the late 60s and continued to have success, notably with early 70s outfit, Tin Tin – of Toast and Marmalade for Tea fame among other hits.
