"Daytona Demon"
Song
B-side"“Roman Fingers”"

“Daytona Demon” is the sixth single by Suzi Quatro, released in 1973. “Daytona Demon” was never included on any album until Quatro’s first hits compilation The Wild One was released in 1990[1], but it has been a natural staple of her numerous hits compilations since then. On the 2011 expanded issue of Suzi Quatro, “Daytona Demon” and its B-side “Roman Fingers” were included as bonus tracks.

Unlike “Devil Gate Drive”, “Daytona Demon” was never included on the US or other foreign release of her second album Quatro and remained unavailable in any format in the US[2] until the advent of the CD and numerous compilations in the 1990s.

Following on from two Australian number ones, “Daytona Demon” peaked at number three in the autumn of 1974[3], but in the UK, where she had also had major success with her previous two singles, the song was a minor failure when it only peaked at number 14 late in 1973[4].
