The Quick released one full-length album, 1976's Mondo Deco on Mercury Records, produced by Earle Mankey, the original guitarist of Sparks (formerly Halfnelson), one of the band's key influences. From September 1977 through March 1978, the band recorded demos produced by established Elektra Records staff arranger David Campbell. One of those tracks, "Pretty Please Me", was played frequently by local KROQ DJ Rodney Bingenheimer on his weekly "Rodney On the ROQ" radio show in 1978. The song was later covered and officially released by both Redd Kross and The Dickies.

BRILLIANT!!!!
Amazing L.A. band. I keep my vinyl copy of the Quick's extremely obscure Mercury LP "Mondo Deco" in a special place, under alarm and guarded by two hungry rottweilers ;))))))
Although they were heavily Sparks influenced, they were never just a mere copycats or second rate imitators and the reason are absolutely TERRIFIC songs penned by Steve Hufsteter. I wonder how many fans of the Rembrandts' theme song for "friends" would go running in horror out of the room if they heard the Quick ;)
Thanx so much ...
Do you maybe have QUICK's "Untold Rock Stories"? ... you'd make me a happy man :))
HEY Vex, no sorry but I don't have the "Untold Rock stories". If someone's got it, feel free to post a link in the comments.:-)))
