The properties of the rapid, persistent quasi-periodic oscillations (QPO) discovered with EXOSAT in the X-ray flux of at least 7 bright low-mass X-ray binaries are described. Particular attention is given to the various relations observed between QPO frequency and X-ray intensity, the link between QPO and the low-frequency noise in the X-ray intensity and the bimodal properties of in particular Sco X-1, GX 5-1 and Cyg X-2. The merits of the hypothesis that the QPO indicate the presence of a neutron star with a magnetosphere are considered.
