Quatro (album)


Quatro is Suzi Quatro's second album released in October 1974 from Rak Records as SRAK 509., with the exception of the United States and Canada where the record was released under Bell Records, in Japan the album was released under EMI Records, and in several territories in Europe it was released from Columbia Records.
The album achieved success in several territories, topping the Australian charts and remained in the charts there for six weeks. The album also entered into the US charts, reaching the top 150. "Devil Gate Drive" became a major hit, reaching the No. 1 spot in the UK and Australian charts, becoming her second number one in both countries. The singles "The Wild One" and "Too Big" also achieved commercial success, with the former reaching the top 10 in both the UK and in Australia, and the latter reaching the top 20 in those same territories.
"The Wild One" was featured in Floria Sigismondi's 2010 film, The Runaways, a coming-of-age/biopic about Cherie Currie and the 1970s all-girl rock band, The Runaways. Suzi Quatro was a major influence both musically and personally for The Runaways and especially Joan Jett, so the film makes several references to her.
