Status Quo singles chronology

"Marguerita Time" is a single by the British rock band Status Quo, from their 1983 album Back to Back.^[1] The single was also issued in a Christmas double pack that included "Caroline"/"Joanne".

"Nobody but Francis [Rossi] wanted to record it," recalled bassist Alan Lancaster. "All it did was advertise that we were a bunch of nerds."^[2]

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 for the album at London's Roundhouse on 22 October, broadcast live by BBC Radio 2 as part of their In Concert series.^[3]^[4]

Dexys Midnight Runners covered the song on the B-side of their single "This Is What She's Like". This recording was included on some reissues of the band's Too-Rye-Ay album.
