Released: 1981
Never Too Late is the fourteenth studio album by English rock band Status Quo. Released in March 1981, it had been recorded at the same sessions, at Winddmill Lane Studios, Dublin, as the previous album Just Supposin', and co-produced by the group with John Eden. It entered the UK album chart at No. 2.
There was only one single released from the album, a cover version of 'Something 'Bout You Baby I Like', previously recorded by Tom Jones, and Glen Campbell with Rita Coolidge, backed with 'Enough is Enough'. What made the single notable however was its innovative music video, directed by Godley and Creme.
Towards the end of 1981 a third single from 'Just Supposin'' was issued.
This was the last album to feature drummer John Coghlan before he left the band.
