Status Quo - Pictures Live At [VINYL LP] date 06/23/2023
South London members Alan Lancaster (bass) and Francis Rossi (guitar) were the original members and founders of Status Quo. Formerly known as The Spectres and later renamed to Traffic or Traffic Jam they settled for Status Quo as their band name in 1967. The following years they were joined by John Coghlan (drums), Roy Lynes (keyboard) and Rick Parfitt (guitar †2016), and after several band members changes are still performing today in a revamped line-up. In 1968 their first hit record 'Pictures of Matchstick Men' was released and the debut album soon followed. The subsequent years Status Quo, or simply Quo, enjoyed a multitude of hits; 'Mean Girl', 'Down Down', 'Rockin' All Over The World', 'The Wanderer', 'In The Army Now', 'Roll Over Lay Down (Live)', all climbed the charts in different countries. During the years Status Quo developed their own signature style of heavy rhythms, a few guitar chords, straightforward, accessible lyrics and collected a huge and loyal fan base. In 2006 NME magazine named Status Quo 'The Most Successful UK band' as they achieved more chart hits than any other British band. The 2 LP Collected compilation is an era spanning selection of Status Quo including the hits, 4 original mono recordings 'Pictures Of Matchstick Men', 'Ice In The Sun', 'I (Who Have Nothing)' by The Spectres, 'Almost But Not Quite There' by Traffic Jam and is newly remastered for vinyl. This limited edition includes a 4-page booklet with liner notes and is packed in a limited gatefold embossed 'guitar' sleeve.
As a staple of the punk scene, ALL of The Subhumans records are still in high demand, and this long overdue repress of their 2007 album couldn't be coming at a better time. With their new album, Crisis Point, out September 13th, and two US tours happening this fall & European touring to follow, we couldn't be happier to be getting this catalog piece repressed and available once more.
