Never Too Late is the fourteenth studio album by English rock band Status Quo, co-produced by the group and John Eden. Released on 13 March 1981,^[1] it had been recorded at the same sessions – at Windmill Lane Studios, Dublin – as its predecessor Just Supposin'. It reached number 2 in the UK Albums Chart.

Only one single was released from the album: a cover of 'Something 'Bout You Baby I Like' (previously recorded by Tom Jones, and Glen Campbell with Rita Coolidge), backed with 'Enough Is Enough'. This was promoted with a music video directed by Godley and Creme.

This was the last album to feature drummer John Coghlan, who departed the band at the end of 1981, bringing an end to Status Quo's classic "frantic four" line-up. Coghlan was replaced by Pete Kircher, while Andy Bown, who had been contibuting to the band for several years, was also made an official member.

"With Never Too Late, we began to lose the plot," recalled singer and guitarist Francis Rossi. "[Songwriter] Bob Young was cleverly promoted backwards. I've since learned that he was told the band didn't want him anymore."^[2]
