"Something 'Bout You Baby I Like" was covered as a single by the British Rock band Status Quo in 1981. It was included on the album Never Too Late.[7]
The version by Glen Campbell and Rita Coolidge prompted Francis Rossi of Status Quo to cover the song.

The majority of the 150,000 sleeves printed were the intended 'full colour' print.
