Blue for You is the 9th studio album by English rock band Status Quo. It was released in March 1976, and is the last album until 1980's Just Supposin' that they produced themselves, which resulted in subsequent albums having a noticeably lighter, more pop oriented sound.
Rick Parfitt's "Rain", the first single from the album, reached No. 7 in the UK charts after its release in February 1976. Its B-side was the non-album track "You Lost the Love", written by Francis Rossi and Bob Young.
The album was released the following month. It entered the British album chart at No. 1 and stayed there for three weeks, making it one of their most successful long players.
An edited version of Parfitt and Young's "Mystery Song", released in July that year, was the second single from the album, and peaked at No. 11 a few months later. Parfitt and Alan Lancaster's "Drifting Away", from their 1974 album Quo, served as the single's B-side.
In December that year the band decided to release a cover of "Wild Side of Life", a song made famous by Hank Thompson and His Brazos Valley Boys, and written by Arlie Carter and William Warren. Its B-side was a new Rossi/Lancaster composition, "All Through the Night". The single reached No. 9.
