If You Knew Suzi...

|---|---|
If You Knew Suzi... is the sixth regular studio album by Suzi Quatro, released at the end of 1978, with a 1979 copyright date. The credits show it to be a multinational production: tracks were recorded in Cologne, Germany, Paris, France, and Glendale, California. It was then mixed in California and mastered in London, England to be distributed by a company based in New York City.
This album, though it got only fair-to-middling reviews from critics, yielded Quatro's biggest US pop hit, a duet with Chris Norman named "Stumblin' In". Various international versions of the album contained the Vanda and Young-penned tune "Evie" instead of "Stumblin' In". When If You Knew Suzi... was re-released as a "two-fer" with the ...Four Letter Words album, both "Evie" and "Stumblin' In" were included. Although it failed to chart in the UK, where she had been labelled as glam, it peaked at #32 on the US Billboard 200; it also had an advertising billboard on Sunset Boulevard.
