1975.	en	https://www.udiscovermus…icon-32x32-1.png	uDiscover Music	https://www.udiscovermusic.com/stories/on-the-level-status-quo/	For Status Quo, the art of reinvention proved a slow process. Starting out as a psych-tinged pop outfit, they cracked both UK and US Top 20s in 1968 with their LS Lowry-inspired debut single, “Pictures Of Matchstick Men,” but it took a radical change of direction and another seven years of hard graft before 1975’s peerless On The Level finally promoted them to rock’s premier league. Listen to On The Level now. The stalwart London outfit’s dalliance with the 12-bar blues/boogie sound with which they would become synonymous began with “Down The Dustpipe,” released as a standalone single in March 1970. However, it was only after Quo signed with respected progressive/hard rock label Vertigo (Black Sabbath, Gentle Giant, Thin Lizzy) and released 1972’s hard-edged Piledriver that they really came into their own. ADVERTISEMENT Piledriver included Quo’s then best single, “Paper Plane,” and that single’s Top 10 success kicked off a remarkable run of 33 consecutive UK Top 40 hits for the band. Its parent album rose to No.5 in the British Top 40, while its 1973 follow-up, Hello!, topped the charts and 1974’s significantly heavier Quo peaked at No.2. Solid, dependable albums, Hello! and Quo both yielded evergreen hits courtesy of “Caroline” and “Break The Rules,” but the band truly proved their mettle when their storming signature hit, “Down Down,” provided them with their first (and only) UK No.1 in January 1975. Some of the band’s later singles – not least “Whatever You Want” and their celebrated cover of the John Fogerty-penned “Rockin’ All Over The World” – burrowed deeper into the wider consciousness, yet “Down Down” arguably remains the daddy of all Status Quo singles. Led by an infectious, spiraling riff, the track was simply unstoppable and its slower, smoldering flipside, “Nightride,” suggested that Quo were in the process of scaling a sizable creative peak. Originally released on March 1, 1975, the self-produced On The Level proved that hypothesis was bang on the money. With bassist Alan Lancaster and guitar and vocal duellists Rick Parfitt and Francis Rossi all emerging as singer-songwriters of repute, and John Coghlan’s crisp, tenacious drumming providing the all-important backbone, Quo circa On The Level were in their prime and ready to take on the mainstream. In retrospect, perhaps the most surprising thing about On The Level is that “Down Down” was its only single release, as the record’s tracklist was crammed with shoulda-been Top 10 hits. Parfitt’s supercharged opener “Little Lady,” Lancaster’s “Over And Done” and Rossi’s strutting, infectious “I Saw The Light” all had “radio hit” stamped through them like sticks of seaside rock – and after all these had faded out, the end of the disc’s first side still wasn’t in sight. Indeed, such were Quo’s reserves of confidence that “Down Down” (reprised here in its unexpurgated five-minute glory, complete with teasing false endings) only put in an appearance at the start of Side Two. On The Level’s proto-punk energy levels remained high until the album took the chequered flag courtesy of a rubber-burning cover of Chuck Berry’s “Bye Bye Johnny,” yet there were also some intriguing detours and departures along the way. The quixotic “Most Of The Time” commenced as a world-weary lament before morphing into an imperious, gut-level blues, while Lancaster’s “Broken Man” came framed by chiming, Byrds-esque guitars. Perhaps best of all was Parfitt’s “Where I Am”: a heartfelt, reflective ballad trailing a little of the fragrant psychedelia that first marked Quo out as contenders. Replicating “Down Down”’s success, the gold-selling On The Level climbed to the top of the UK charts and scored highly in most contemporary European listings. For Status Quo, however, resting on their laurels was never an option and their muscular 12-bar boogie remained in fine fettle when they returned to reclaim the British No.1 slot with 1976’s spirited Blue For You.

The group originated in The Spectres, founded by schoolboys Francis Rossi and Alan Lancaster in 1962. After a number of lineup changes, the band became The Status Quo in 1967 and Status Quo in 1969. They have had over 60 chart hits in the UK, starting with 1967's "Pictures of Matchstick Men", and the most recent being in 2010, which is more than any other rock band. Twenty-two of these reached the Top 10 in the UK Singles Chart. In 1991, Status Quo received a Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music. Status Quo starred in their first feature film, Bula Quo!, which was released to cinemas in July 2013. The film coincided with the release of the soundtrack album Bula Quo!, which peaked at number 10 in the UK Albums Chart. The first single from the album, "Bula Bula Quo" was released in June 2013, and is Status Quo's one hundredth single release.

Not that it wasn’t for the lack of opportunity… all through the dark years when many acts refused to play our home city of Belfast, the Quo popped up more often than pimples on a teenager’s cheek, playing virtually every venue which still had electricity running… but, somehow, despite their ’12 Gold Bars’ being one of the first compilation albums I bought with my hard-earned pocket money, I never made it to a show, hence the reason why I have to rely on the likes of this, the first in a series of curated archive recordings coming our way over the coming months to remind us of the potency of a band who lived for playing live (sic)… As it’s title suggests, this inaugural series offering captures a set recorded in Amsterdam back in 2010, on the 40th anniversary/’Pictures Exposed’ tour and featuring the band’s then current incarnation of founders Francis Rossi and the late Rick Parfitt alongside John ‘Rhino’ Edwards (it’s hard to believe that he’s been in the band four times longer than his predecessor), Andy Bown and drummer Matt Letley. Personally speaking, I would much rather have seen this first release to be drawn from what many of us regard as the band’s classic ‘Frantic Four’ era: but, with the band’s history of recording virtually every show they ever performed, the gods only know what else is lurking deep in this official archive and still to come our way… we can but hope! In the meantime, this is a reminder of the Quo’s enduring appeal as both writers and performers of classic, no nonsense, four-to-the-floor blues-based boogie anthems which never failed to disappointed audiences wherever they played or bring a smile to the faces of everyone either listening our watching. It could be argued that a release such as this will appeal solely to the old-guard Quo brigade – an argument perhaps exacerbated by the fact that each release will be a limited edition – but for those of us who missed them first time around, it’s a fitting reminder of the power of music on which we grew up and the elements of enjoyment and fun which it could evoke just by its sheer simplicity. Now, I wonder what they’re proposing as their next release… I’m sure they’re be something about it we like… ‘Official Archive Series Vol. 1 – Live In Amsterdam‘ will be released on 11 August. facebook.com/StatusQuoOfficial

Its iconic cover art, featuring the band members in an Ames room, immediately captures attention. This page has quality photos of album covers, record label and detailed description.	en	/favicon.ico		https://vinyl-records.nl/rock/status-quo-on-the-level-vertigo-france-vinyl-lp-album.html	Album Description: Status Quo, one of the most influential British rock bands of all time, left an indelible mark on the music industry with their iconic sound and energetic performances. Among their impressive discography, the 1975 album "On the Level" stands out as a memorable release. Album Art and Design: The cover art of "On the Level" presents a visually captivating concept. The band members, Francis Rossi, Richard Parfitt, Alan Lancaster, and John Coghlan, are photographed in an Ames room, creating an intriguing optical illusion. This distinctive imagery immediately captures the attention of the viewer and perfectly reflects the album's title. In addition to the striking cover, the inner gatefold sleeve of the original vinyl release offers a personal touch. It includes informal photos taken by the band members themselves, providing fans with a glimpse into the camaraderie and chemistry that made Status Quo such a formidable force in the music industry. Production and Sound: Status Quo took on the role of producers for "On the Level", showcasing their artistic vision and desire for creative control. The album demonstrates the band's distinctive blend of rock, boogie, and blues, which became their trademark sound. The record features a collection of high-energy tracks, showcasing the band's ability to create infectious hooks and catchy melodies. Songs like "Down Down" and "Little Lady" exemplify Status Quo's ability to craft anthemic rock songs with irresistible guitar riffs and driving rhythms. The band's tight-knit musicianship and the raw energy they bring to each track create a cohesive and engaging listening experience. "On the Level" showcases the band at the height of their creative powers, capturing the essence of their live performances in a studio setting. Record Label and Legacy: Vertigo Records, a prominent label known for its association with progressive rock and heavy metal acts, released "On the Level". The album's catalogue number, Vertigo 9102 002, represents its status as a highly regarded release within the label's extensive roster. The success of "On the Level" further solidified Status Quo's position as one of the most influential rock bands of their time. The album reached number one on the UK Albums Chart, becoming their first chart-topping release. It also spawned several hit singles, including the aforementioned "Down Down", which remains one of their most recognizable songs to this day. About the Ames Room: The Ames Room is a visual illusion that creates a distorted perception of the size and shape of objects and people within it. It was invented by American ophthalmologist Adelbert Ames Jr. in 1946 and has since become a popular subject in the field of perceptual psychology. The room is constructed with a trapezoidal shape, where the back wall is much shorter on one side compared to the other. The floor and ceiling are also angled to match the shape of the room, creating the illusion of a regular rectangular space when viewed from a specific vantage point. The result is a room that appears normal when observed through a peephole or from a particular viewing spot. However, when people or objects are placed inside the Ames Room, an optical illusion occurs. By strategically positioning individuals within the room, they can appear to change in size dramatically. The person on the shorter side of the room seems significantly larger than the person on the longer side, even though they may be of similar height in reality. This illusion occurs due to our brain's perception of depth and the reliance on familiar cues such as relative size and perspective. The Ames Room illusion demonstrates how our brain can be easily fooled by visual cues, leading to incorrect interpretations of size, distance, and spatial relationships. It challenges our perception and understanding of reality by showcasing how our visual system can be deceived by cleverly manipulated environments. The Ames Room has been a popular tool in various fields, including psychology, neuroscience, and visual perception research.

The band has joined the likes of Bob Dylan and Neil Young in delving deep into the vaults to unearth, spruce up, and release a live show recorded on October 19th 2010, at the Heineken Hall in Amsterdam for a limited numbered edition CD and LP release. This makes perfect sense; Status Quo live, there are few better, so what more do you need to know? Newly mixed and mastered at Chameleon Studios Hamburg, Live In Amsterdam finds the Rossi, Parfitt, Bown, Edwards, and drummer Matt Letley line-up deep into their exhaustive ‘Pictures Exposed World Tour’. The show sounds great, with plenty of bottom end while guitars, vocals and Andy Bown’s keys are nicely placed. Everything is well-balanced, loud and clear. Fans might be worried that an archive release could be warts and all (a good thing) but with inferior sound (did someone say bootleg?). I’m pleased to report this is very crankable. Naturally, a ‘hits’ tour has all of your favourites present and correct, even if, in some cases, that means the dreaded medley does rear its ugly head to squeeze in a selection of ‘Proposin’ tracks, but the band are rockin’ hard and Bown’s keys are a great addition, so I’ll give them that. Francis Rossi is his usual gregarious self and engages the Amsterdam crowd as only he can. Highlights are plentiful in a 21-track set, spread over two CDs, but personal favourites include ‘Don’t Drive My Car’ introduced by Rossi as “Don’t Scratch My Car” and, if I’m honest, pretty much anything from the prime 70s period. More recent fare, in Quo terms, finds two tracks from the Heavy Traffic record in the classic Quo/heads down boogie of ‘Creeping Up On You’ and, somewhat strangely, ‘The Oriental’ which is still horrible (sorry guys) and a welcome 'Beginning Of The End'. CD2 kicks off with Quo at their most relaxed via ‘Living On An Island’ and an excellent rendition of (another personal favourite) ‘In The Army Now’, with the Amsterdam crowd more than holding their own, before Matt Letley’s drum solo ushers in a string of Quo classics with ‘Roll Over Lay Down’ and the set concludes with a double helping of Chuck Berry. Vol.1 of the Official Archive Series is essential for Quo fans, and with a London show (year unknown at this time) set for a November release as Vol.2, this series already looks like a winner. Status Quo –Official Archive Series Vol.1 – Live In Amsterdam is set for release on August 11th 2023 on Limited Numbered Edition 2CD and 3LP vinyl editions via earMUSIC

I have several on CD. Right now I am listening to The Singles Collection: 1966-1973, a 1998 remaster, I think. Even back in the vinyl-dominated days of the 1970's, I think these were not great recordings. Mind you, great live band back in the day! Piledriver and Hello! are good recordings, so is Blue For You. They aren't hi-fi serious, but looking for that with classic Quo is missing the point. It's loud, live and raw rock music. The recordings are good enough. When Quo got an outside producer in and consciously tried to make a great sounding album that sounded good on top end hi-fi, it didn't work. We ended up with the wimpy sounding Rockin' All Over The World album. Whatever You Want has a very good sound and good songs, but loses some of the rawness and energy with it's clean sounding production. Great album though. I never saw Quo in the 70s, too young, but I did see one of the 'Frantic Four' reunion shoes in 2014, and it was a blinder. It sounds awesome, Rain, Mystery Song, Is There A Better Way and That's A Fact are some of the best sounding songs in Quo's discography. Big Fat Mama on Piledriver is up there too. Power and clarity. The UK 80s UK PRT pressing sounds very good, even though it's fake stereo, it's one of the better sounding examples I've heard. I was happy with it for years until I got very lucky with a mono original. The Spare Parts from the same reissues is superb. Good enough that I'm not bothered about having an original. Mono the way to go then? Definitely, it was only mixed in mono at the time. The original Pye stereo pressing is fake stereo. Problem is, as far as I'm aware, the mono mix is only available on the original pressing, which of course, is rare and expensive in decent condition. There might be a recent mono reissue from the 2000s, possibly on the Earmark label, but it's likely to just be the CD remaster on vinyl. There's nothing currently in print unfortunately. Edit: This is the Earmark pressing from 2004 and it's mono. Status Quo - Picturesque Matchstickable Messages From The Status Quo Thank you, much appreciated. The original CD of 12 Gold Bars is pretty well regarded on this forum. Given how old it is, it sounds quite decent. In terms of remastering, I like the deluxe editions mastered by Andy Pearce but opinion on his work is divided. Liked that band in the seventies. After, let's say 1980, didn't listen to them anymore. A few years ago bought, don't rememember where, a double "big hits" ore something like that. I was surprised that I was captured by their full, simple, energic sound. No... it's not Audophile, but who cares... IT'S ONLY ROCK & ROLL And I like it (a lot...) Totally agree, easily one of their very best songs. Maybe even their last really great one. Did get a lot of radio airplay down here and I’m surprised it wasn’t released as a single. It probably helped boost sales of On The Level - that album sold by the truckload here.

Status Quo have been around for 25 years, but it's not always been heads down, no nonsense success. On the other hand, as Rick Parfitt tells Jon Lewin, they're not exactly an unknown band... "WHEN I was young, if anybody had told me that I'd be driving a Porsche, would have 90 or so gold albums on the wall, and would be number one in the charts, I'd have told them to sod off – I just couldn't imagine that this could have happened." Rick Parfitt got his first guitar at the age of ten. "I just wanted a guitar like every young kid at that time, and fortunately I learned to play a tune in the first week. It was 'Mary's Boy Child', 'cos it was Christmas and that was one of my mum's favourite songs. I don't know how I learnt but I did, and managed to get this sort of one finger chord – so what's new? I haven't improved recently," he laughed. "When I was 15, as soon as I left school, I went off to a holiday camp to play on my own in a bar, and that was the start of it all. The Sunshine Holiday Camp, in Hayling Island, 1963. I was a Canary, wearing the yellow tops, just like 'Hi De Hi'. I was playing standards, like 'Island Of Dreams' from the Springfields, 'When The Saints Go Marching In'." At another holiday camp – Butlins, Minehead, in 1965 – Rick saw a group called The Spectres playing in the Rock Ballroom and realised that beat music ("as it was known at the time") was for him, rather than his cabaret "hairy fairy, bow tie thing". He got pally with The Spectres, particularly two by the names of Alan Lancaster and Francis Rossi. "Francis got chucked out of his digs, because he got caught in bed with a girl, and I said, 'I can't see you out on the streets, so I'll stick along with you.' We were sleeping in baths and on the beach, and we became really close. When the season ended, we said we'd write, stay in touch, which we did." But it wasn't for two years – November 1967 – that Rick got the call. The Highlights had rowed and broken up, and Rick had been working as a baker for two weeks when he was asked to join The Spectres, who by this time had signed to Pye Records. "I've been very lucky — doors have opened for me just at the right time. I chucked the job in straight away." Rick's first guitar with The Spectres was a red Gibson 335 bought on HP, which he kept for two years. Not long after that, Francis Rossi bought his green Telecaster; this guitar gave the band a different sound, so Rick lashed out £90 for a hand-painted 1960 Tele. This is still his main guitar. The first Quo single, released at the end of 1967, was 'Pictures Of Matchstick Men', which peaked at number seven in the charts. A hit, but how did it affect Rick? "I did literally go weak at the knees when I heard 'Pictures Of Matchstick Men' on the radio, Keith Fordyce or David Jacobs on a Saturday, and I was at home, and we had the radiogram – with the lid that lifts up and all the gubbins, y'know? – and I said mum, come in 'ere and listen to my record – it was always mum, never dad – and I remember when my voice came in on the harmony in the chorus, it just freaked me out. And the band? "I do remember when 'Matchstick Men' came out, we were rehearsing down Lambeth Walk, and it had just reached number 11. Francis was still working, mowing lawns, and Alan Lancaster was still cleaning windows, and Pat, our manager, came down and said, right, you can give up your day jobs, you're now turning professional. We all went waa-hey, and went over the pub." Even though they were having chart success, the band weren't rich. "I can't say we were making a living. We were playing for like £50 or £60 a night; but when you've gotta put petrol in the van, get new bits and pieces of gear, pay for your guitar on HP, in those days... when 'Matchstick Men' was out, I was still living at home, borrowing fivers off my mum." "Just about every day of the week was spent gigging. We were backing Madeline Bell when 'Matchstick Men' was in the charts, as well as doing our own thing. You'd get up pretty early, which was no problem in those days... I lived down in Woking, so I'd have to scamper up to London in my Standard A10, and we'd all meet up at Lambeth Walk, at the Gas showrooms, which was where we used to rehearse, in the cellars – it's a completely different shop now. They were pretty grim, with all these rats knocking about. Alan Lancaster used to kill these rats... I could never handle how he used to whack 'em... "Anyway, we'd load the van up, drive off to where we had to go, do the gig, pack the gear up – no roadies in those days – drive back, unload the gear back into the Gas showrooms at about one o'clock in the morning, then go home. Then do the same the next day." The Quo's early dabblings with the pop charts resulted in one further hit ('Ice In The Sun') and then a string of misses. There followed what's normally referred to by Quo biographers as the lean years, though the band saw it differently. For most of 1969, they rehearsed. Their pop image made it difficult for them to get gigs, but they were fortunate to have management with faith and a few fivers to lend. "We rehearsed for the whole year, which is where the sound that Quo has today came from. We started to fall into Steampacket... er... Steamhammer type things – 'Junior's Wailing'. I wasn't quite sure about this chugging beat at first, but we played it and played it, and we looked at 'Roadhouse Blues', stuff like that, and we realised that we all dug this rhythm, that there was something infectious about it for us. It used to really turn me on playing this 'chunk chunk-chunk' thing." Almost as important (and innovative) was the realisation that the band didn't have to wear stage gear. So out went the pink bell-bottoms and yellow frilly shirts, and on stayed the jeans with holes in the knees, T-shirts and plimsoles. The first gig they did with the new sound and image was at The Castle, in Tooting, South London. "WE ACTUALLY GOT £320, AND I REMEMBER SITTING IN THE DRESSING ROOM, GOING 'FIVER FOR YOU, FIVER FOR YOU', COUNTING IT OUT." "There was us and Mott The Hoople, and there was all these people that I'd never seen before. They were called 'heads': long hair, trench coat, album, and a pint of beer, right? They'd sit on the floor cross-legged and bang their heads. We learnt a lot from them: when they were all nodding their heads, we thought, we'll have some of that, so we did the same. That was how the whole Quo stance came about, legs apart, heads down. That was it – Quo was born." Rick states that there was never any question of the band splitting up, though there was some friction with Francis Rossi over the £1400 he received for 'Matchstick Men'. The band had one of their first rows, though Rick now thinks Francis was right not to split the money. "But we didn't realise that we were down and out. We just wanted to play. We actually played to three people once, half way to Margate, some ballroom on the left-hand side." Status Quo had two years or so of struggle before they turned the corner. There's one specific incident that Rick remembers which marked the beginning of a new era. "I remember playing Links Pavilion in Cromer: the first time we ever came away with more than £300, it must have been 1969 or 70. We actually got £320, and I remember sitting in the dressing room, going 'fiver for you, fiver for you', counting it out. I actually came home with money in my pocket, getting home about 4am, saying to my mum and dad, wake up, throwing this money all over the room. I suppose that was the start of us actually making money. That's what I remember as being the start of our success. I put £60 in the bank." Was there any difference between his image of success and the real thing? "As far as I can remember I didn't have an image of what fame was like: I'd look at the stars on my wall, and I loved them, and that was it. Quo's rise to fame was so gradual that I don't think we really felt it. Obviously when there were people in the business, like manager Billy Gaff, who said you're going to make it, that always gave me a bit of a tingle. You'll be driving Ferraris, all that shit, but you believe it at the time. As it happens it turned out to be true. Though it was Porsches, not Ferraris." Another important rung on the ladder for Status Quo was their first gold album, awarded for "Piledriver" in 1973. "I thought Christ, this is fantastic; when I was young, even in my wildest dreams, I never thought about gold albums – it just didn't dawn on you. Nowadays you look at them and say, oh, another one. You get so many you do become a bit complacent about it; they get packed in the cupboard, I give them to my mum, I give them away to charities and that..." The Quo's well-documented success throughout the 1970s and into the 1980s doesn't seem to have made much difference to the basis of Rick's lifestyle. The on-tour routine now is get up, shower, have breakfast, go to the next gig – he's simply cleaner and better fed. Even though he's now approaching 40, Rick says that the physical side of touring still isn't a problem. "Age doesn't come into it at all; the hard side is the mental side... the travelling, the hanging about in hotels, hanging about backstage before you go on, that's what does me in. As long as I'm active, I'm fine." The band have been through a lot of changes recently; first, drummer John Coghlan left, then bassist Alan Lancaster departed in a flurry of acrimonious lawsuits, leaving Rossi and Parfitt the only two remaining original members. Rick, with the benefit of a heavy dose of hindsight, sees it as a process of streamlining. "We've had changes ever since organist Roy Lynes left at the end of the 1960s. I think now we've found what we really wanted – precision. John, the things he hated most were recording, gigging, and rehearsing. And Alan Lancaster – there was a slight problem with Alan – he had a bit of a gammy right hand, and if you soloed some of his bass parts... well, Francis and I had to overdub his bass parts without him knowing to get that real 'chunk'. That's something I haven't told anybody before..." Both Rick and Francis Rossi believe the new line-up to be the best Status Quo have ever had; the new rhythm section of Jeff Rich and John Edwards is their tightest, and this has breathed new life into the band. "I can tell you this: this is certainly the last line-up of Quo. We're more than happy with it, and if anything goes wrong with this I don't see us carrying on. Me and Francis might carry on in the studio, but at the moment, it's still Quo. There's more life in the band than ever." Will it ever stop? "Sometime it's got to stop. I don't visualise myself at 65 still rocking. I might be doing cabaret again, showbiz, I dunno, I might be a fucking ventriloquist! I'd like to be on the stage for as long as I can; once you've got the theatrical thing in you, it's still all show business." Which could explain why Rick hasn't got bored with Status Quo. It's hard work, he says, but it's not a job – an important distinction for any rock careerist. But what of the last 20 years plus? "When you look back on it, it's a great feeling. It's a shame that it comes in stages, because you don't realise... if you were to take a chunk out of your own career, and see yourself five years later, you'd go wow! But the fact that it happens gradually, step by step, it doesn't really come as a great surprise. It's a bit of a let down, really, when you think about it. So what were the highlights of Rick's career? Live Aid obviously, and playing the Prince's Trust at Birmingham NEC in 1982 (the first rock gig attended by a royal). But also the pleasure of breaking the band abroad. "Like Australia, for instance. You realise how big you are... people waiting at the airport... it really makes you feel good." Success for Rick Parfitt, apart from the obvious tangible benefits like his Mercedes 380SL, is evidently a matter of pride in achievement. He's obviously an accomplished rhythm guitarist (in spite of his self-depreciating jokes about 'the fourth chord'), and he derives a lot of satisfaction from the rapport he shares with his fellow musicians. I asked him for his advice for aspiring followers in his footsteps. Given his experience of the business, his reply is unsurprising. "If you work hard, then something will come of it. If you think you're good, just carry on, and don't let anyone tell you that you aren't." More with this artist

I found this link quo.boards.net/thread/21443/story-quo-album-cover A little while back we were wondering who drew the Quo album cover - seeing as for so many of us it is a favourite; so I dug around on the internet and found out it was Dave Field. I contacted him, told him our MB had voted his album cover most popular, and asked him if he could tell us the story behind it - and today I got an email from Dave - here it is (I had told him I'd post the story):- " It was 1974 and I was designing various sleeves for Jack Wood, who was the Art Director for the Vertigo Record Label. I had just won a design award for The Sensational Alex Harvey Band's 'NEXT' album sleeve, with it's metal foil print technique, it was a bit of a innovation. I designed and or Illustrated for Vertigo..... Nazareth.....Razamanaz, Loud N' Proud. - Thin Lizzie.....Nightlife. - Alex Harvey.....Next, Tommorow Belongs to Me, Live. - Uriah Heep.....Return to Fantasy. - Black Sabbath.....Live at Last, Paranoid (revised single sleeve). - Manfred Mann...Nightingales and Bombers; to name but a few. Jack called me in to discuss a new album cover for Status Quo, with the working title of 'QUO'. I was pretty chuffed and it was agreed that it would be a good idea to spend a few days with the guys at The Windmill in Brixton to discuss the album concept, as it was where they were rehearsing for a week. After getting our heads together, Rick and Rossi fancied getting a bit of a Roger Dean style background shapes into the design and then combining my monochrome portrait drawings approach, they thought it might be an interesting mix. I studied and sketched the guys over a few days and came up with a draft of the album that finally evolved. I must say that having met a great number of famous musicians, personalities and celebrities in my time, the guys in Quo stand out as belonging to the more considerate, accommodating and generous of them. During my daily visits to The Windmill, I came dressed in my more outlandish of my fashion gear of the time and turned up in some jeans that I had modified from denim to multi coloured leather patchwork. Rick took a shine to them and on the last day I brought them along and gifted them to him on the proviso that he would wear them on stage. I never knew if he did this. I was however, amazed when I was paid for the album design and had a generous extra load of £'s given to me by Rick for the razzy jeans. I look back with affection at my time with Quo. Cheers, Dave" Read more: quo.boards.net/thread/21443/story-quo-album-cover#ixzz3kcf88Zoi

Here's the 2024 Polaris Music Prize short list Dig into the stories behind the Calgary drag artist's album, the tracks you need to know, and the perfect summer activities to complement your listening. You can also listen to The Ten radio special on Diamond Jubilee here. Artist: Cindy Lee. Album: Diamond Jubilee. Polaris Music Prize history: This is Cindy Lee's first time on the Polaris short list; their fifth studio album, What's Tonight to Eternity, was longlisted in 2020. Patrick Flegel, who is behind the Cindy Lee moniker, was also longlisted twice before (2009, 2011) in their previous band Women. Story behind the nominated album: It's not easy to cultivate a sense of mystery in the age of social media, but that's what Cindy Lee did for their latest album, Diamond Jubilee. Released on March 29, this double album was nowhere to be found on the usual streaming platforms, but instead only available for download on a GeoCities website and as a YouTube video upload with no song breaks. As of this writing, Cindy Lee has stopped doing interviews with the press and has cancelled their remaining tour dates for the year. Some believe this may be the end of Cindy Lee, but that too remains a mystery. To call Cindy Lee a complete mystery is inaccurate, though. Diamond Jubilee is, in fact, their seventh studio album. And the musician behind this drag persona, Patrick Flegel, is well known to fans of their other projects, Androgynous Mind and, most notably, the Calgary post-punk band Women. Flegel has performed as Cindy Lee for over a decade now, but the reception to their latest release has thrust them into a new level of fame and recognition, landing them in front of many music fans who are just discovering Cindy Lee for the first time. After all, Diamond Jubilee arrived on the same day as other blockbuster releases by Beyoncé, Sum 41, J-Hope and Machine Gun Kelly, yet it received the highest Pitchfork review score not only that week, but the site's best score in four years. "This may be the greatest radio station you've ever come across," that review opens with, sparking a string of descriptions calling Diamond Jubilee a transmission from another world. Its sounds are familiar — drawing on a smorgasbord of influences ranging from '60s girl groups and Velvet Underground to psychedelia and '90s indie-rock — but tangled together in a way that feels hard to place, it's composed with such obsessive meticulousness yet it plays out with eerie ease. While Diamond Jubilee sounds lighter than Cindy Lee's previous releases, which carried a heavier and darker mood, this album is seeped in melancholy and longing as most songs are driven by heartbreak. Perhaps more cutting than the album's many standout guitar solos is Flegel's gut-wrenching songwriting, like when they sing, "Sometimes I see you in my dreams/ Where I can be with you again," on the distorted Beach Boys reverie, "Dreams of You." With its two-hour runtime, Diamond Jubilee is a colossal collection of songs. "I just wanna purge a bunch of this stuff that I've got… get that out of my system," Flegel said in a rare interview with Lebronjames.co last year. It's their fourth album in four years, but Flegel has assumed control of their release strategy by putting records out on their own label, Realistik Studios, in addition to circumventing traditional streaming platforms. Flegel has been praised for their decision to keep Diamond Jubilee off of services that pay their artists a meagre wage. In that same interview, they clearly stated their intentions to go rogue: "I think everyone should take their music off streaming platforms. Not even strike, just take it off. They're begging for a penny a play, and it's pitiful… It's kinda similar to every other job where you think you should get a raise, and you probably should, and you just don't. I don't think it's exceptional to music, but it still is bullshit." While not every artist can afford to protest like this, Cindy Lee's monumental release this year will hopefully inspire others to rethink and question the status quo in the music industry right now. Diamond Jubilee is a testament to DIY culture and betting on yourself. Notable players: Diamond Jubilee is largely a solo endeavour, with Flegel writing all the lyrics and composing every song, except for "Baby Blue," which was co-written with Steven Lind of the Canadian duo, Freak Heat Waves. (Freak Heat Waves opened for Cindy Lee on their most recent tour before Flegel cancelled its remaining tour dates in May.) Lind also contributes guitar, bass, drums, synths, strings and claps throughout the album, with additional help in engineering, production and mixing. The only other person credited on Diamond Jubilee is Joshua Stevenson, who mastered the album and has worked with Cindy Lee on their previous albums, What's Tonight to Eternity and Act of Tenderness. Standout songs: 'Glitz' The second track off of Diamond Jubilee's first disc, "Glitz" offers an early punch of glam-rock that puts its fuzz-out guitars front and centre as Flegel's voice hovers beneath like a ghostly figure. It's a bright, psychedelic number that sinks its teeth into you early on, showing just one of many exciting sounds the album experiments with. 'All I Want Is You' Many of the songs on Diamond Jubilee capture the feeling of heartbreak, and "All I Want Is You" perfectly encapsulates a longing for someone as Flegel admits on the chorus: "All I've got is the truth/ All I want is you." (It's a refrain that even repeats later on the album.) The track's melancholic tone is balanced out by a standout guitar solo, highlighting one of Flegel's greatest strengths as a musician, bursting onto this track like a powerful ray of serotonin-packed sunshine. 'Gayblevision' An early song off of the album's second disc, the instrumental track "Gayblevision" acts as a sonic reset. Its heavy, grooving synths keep listeners on their toes as Flegel swerves in yet another new direction. Uncut described this transition as "moving from the bedroom to the nightclub," with the album entering a more nocturnal mode. Recommended if you like: The Ronettes, the Shangri-las, the Beach Boys, Velvet Underground, T. Rex, Yo La Tengo, Ariel Pink, Women. Summer activity pairing: With its lengthy runtime, Diamond Jubilee is an album to ideally put on during those easygoing slow Sunday mornings, perhaps paired with your first sip of coffee and that book you've been meaning to start reading.

The song is based on the melody of a traditional English folk song called ‘Darby Kelly’, which is about a drummer who played at the Battle of Waterloo. The lyrics of ‘Burning Bridges’ are about leaving behind the past and moving on to the future, with references to historical events such as the Norman Conquest and the American Revolution. The song was a commercial success, reaching number five in the UK. Manchester United teamed up with Status Quo and used it as the basis for their FA Cup song ‘Come On You Reds’ in 1994, topping the charts. What You're Proposing Status Quo - What You're Proposing • TopPop Released in 1980, this was a single from their album Just Supposin’. The song was written by Francis Rossi and Bernie Frost, and it reached number two on the UK Singles Chart, becoming one of their most successful hits. The song is a rock tune with a catchy chorus and a guitar solo by Rick Parfitt. The lyrics are about a casual relationship that the narrator is not sure about, and he keeps asking “what you’re proposing” to his partner. Some of the influences of the song include Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, and The Beatles, as well as other rock and roll artists of the 1950s and 1960s. Roll Over Lay Down Roll Over Lay Down - Status Quo This song was first released on their sixth studio album, Hello!, in 1973, and it became one of their most popular and enduring songs. The song was later released as the A-side of a live EP, Quo Live, in 1975, to celebrate the band’s 13th anniversary. The EP was a success, reaching number 9 on the UK Singles Chart. Paper Plane Paper Plane - Status Quo This was the first single from Status Quo's fifth studio album, Piledriver, which marked a change in their musical style from psychedelic pop to hard rock and boogie rock. The song was written by Francis Rossi and Bob Young, and is about the desire to escape from the mundane and boring aspects of life, and to fly away like a paper plane. The song reached number 8 on the UK Singles Chart, and was one of their first songs to feature the distinctive twin guitar sound that would become their trademark. In the Army Now Status Quo - In The Army Now Released in 1986, ‘In the Army Now’ is a cover of a song that was originally written and performed by Dutch duo Rob and Ferdi Bolland, also known as Bolland & Bolland, in 1982. The song is a sarcastic and critical commentary on the American military involvement in the Vietnam War, which lasted from 1955 to 1975 and resulted in millions of casualties. The song depicts the harsh realities and dangers of being a soldier, such as facing bullets, bombs, mines and diseases, and contrasts them with the naive and romanticized expectations of joining the army, such as wearing a uniform, travelling the world and having fun. The song was a huge hit for Status Quo, reaching number one in several countries. It also became a popular anthem for anti-war movements and peace activists around the world. The band re-recorded the song in 2010 with new lyrics to support the British troops in Afghanistan and to raise funds for the Help for Heroes charity. Pictures of Matchstick Men Status Quo - Pictures of Matchstick Men (1968) [High Quality Sound, Subtitled] This track is a classic example of psychedelic rock from the late 1960s. The song was written by Francis Rossi, who was inspired by the paintings of LS Lowry, a British artist known for his scenes of industrial life in northern England. Lowry often depicted workers and buildings as stylized figures and shapes, which Rossi compared to matchsticks. The song became the band’s first hit, reaching number 7 in the UK. The song features a distinctive guitar riff that repeats throughout, as well as a flanging effect that creates a swirling sound. Caroline Status Quo - Caroline ‘Caroline’ was released as a single in 1973 and reached number five in the UK. It was also included on their seventh studio album, Hello! The song was written by the band’s lead singer and guitarist Francis Rossi and their roadie and harmonica player Bob Young. They composed the song on a napkin in a hotel in Cornwall in 1971, and recorded a demo with Rossi playing guitar and bass, and Terry Williams on drums. The band later changed the arrangement from a slow blues song to a fast rock song, using their stage equipment and amplifiers. Whatever You Want Status Quo - Whatever You Want (Official Video Remastered) Status Quo’s song 'Whatever You Want' is a classic rock anthem that showcases the band’s energetic and catchy style. The song was written by Rick Parfitt and Andy Bown, and was released as the lead single from the album of the same name in 1979. The song reached number 4 on the UK charts and became one of the band’s most popular and enduring hits. The song is about having the freedom to choose your own path in life, regardless of what others may think or say. The song features a distinctive guitar riff that is instantly recognizable and memorable. Down Down Status Quo - Down down 1974 Video Sound HQ 'Down Down' is a classic rock anthem that showcases Status Quo's signature boogie style. It was written by Francis Rossi and Bob Young, who were inspired by T Rex’s debut single 'Debora'. The song was originally titled 'Get Down', but it was changed before release to avoid confusion with Gilbert O’Sullivan’s song of the same name. 'Down Down' was the lead single from the band’s eighth studio album On the Level. The song reached number one in the UK in 1975, becoming Status Quo’s only number one hit in their home country. Rockin' All Over the World Status Quo - Rockin All Over The World 'Rockin’ All Over the World' was released in 1977 as the title track of their 10th studio album. The song was written and originally recorded by American singer-songwriter John Fogerty, best known as the lead singer of Creedence Clearwater Revival. Fogerty’s version was a minor hit in the US. Queen at Live Aid: The story of the greatest gig of all time Status Quo recorded their own, heavier arrangement of Fogerty’s song. It was their first album to be produced by Pip Williams and the first to feature Andy Bown as a regular contributor to the band. The song peaked at #3 in the UK and became one of their most popular and enduring songs. In July 1985, Status Quo opened Live Aid at Wembley Stadium with 'Rockin’ All Over the World', which was broadcast to an estimated global audience of 1.9 billion people.

It’s the ‘BANG! Yes! You found it.’ Like now we know where we are and we can go on,” says Alan Lancaster. “On Piledriver, we nailed it. We really found ourselves, we found our sound.” It might be odd to think it now, but there was once a time that Status Quo was one of the most drastically evolving acts around. After initially gaining fame with the psychedelic pop nugget ‘Pictures Of Matchstick Men’, Quo would find themselves bouncing around on Top Of The Pops in flowing shirts and bold patterns to match their seemingly complicated music. The band struggled to figure out who they really wanted to be and found increasing frustration with the corner they’d painted themselves into. Labels, managers, producers and stylists defined their existence and tried at every turn to corral them into the ‘pop band’ image. Despite the pressure, by 1972 Status Quo had gone through a massive change in music and style, so much so that their record label Pye was happy to see the back of them. The frilly shirts, bouffant hairstyles and cryptic album titles of the psychedelic 60s variety had given way to long hair, denim and hard rock. The change was a drastic, but natural one as the line-up of Francis Rossi (guitar and vocals), Rick Parfitt (guitar and vocals), John Coghlan (drums) and Alan Lancaster (bass and vocals) moved remarkably in sync from one era to the next. The two albums that preceded Piledriver, Ma Kelly’s Greasy Spoon and Dog Of Two Head, showed the glimmers of the band’s now-famous style, but Piledriver would be the first time that Status Quo boogied and shuffled their way into a trademark. Based heavily on the fashion of a single Doors tune, Quo found their rhythm, and the result was their biggest success to date. While not feeling inclined to take on the respective indulgences of the glam and prog movements gaining ground around them, Status Quo began to cement their position as denim-clad boogie rockers. Piledriver is currently seeing a reissue in honour of the band’s upcoming shows, which are to be the last to feature the album’s line-up, known as the Frantic Four. When they first got back together for gigs last year they were welcomed with sold out shows and grown men weeping with happiness, such is the lasting effect of the band’s 70s period. “There is something special about Coghlan, Lancaster, Parfitt and Rossi,” says Rick Parfitt. “I can’t put my finger on it. It’s frayed around the edges, it’s not perfect, and nobody quite knows where the endings are. Piledriver just had something very special about it. It’s a great album cover and it’s a great album.” Feature continues after photograph Before their last London shows at the end of the month, the band took a look back on the album that marked the birth of the Quo as many fans would like to remember them. Francis Rossi: If you go back to ’65, we had more of a rocky thing going than ‘Matchstick Men’ at the time. I was trying to write a song that was like Jimi Hendrix’s ‘Hey Joe’ and came out with ‘Matchstick Men’ so we went to record it. This record became a huge hit. After the initial success, the band were no longer successful and we decided we didn’t want to wear that kind of clothing anymore and we wanted to go back to something similar to what we’d done before the success. And we became known for it. Alan Lancaster: At Pye Records we were in our evolutionary days, if you like. We sort of graduated while we were on Pye and our producer at the time John Schroeder (a very good producer) realised it was going in a different direction, the bluesier boogie direction. He let us have a bit of free reign, and that’s when we made Ma Kelly’s Greasy Spoon, which was the start of the change, then we did Dog Of Two Head. FR: We’d come to a point with Pye Records where we were kind of manufactured somewhat. We were taken out and told what to wear, what to play, how to do. We had a crossover with managers and we were doing something similar to what we’re doing now, but Pye really didn’t see it. AL: We realised we had to get out of it because they would always see us as the glammy pop band that we were being marketed as at the time. But it was such a natural change we probably would have made Piledriver as it is either way. But Vertigo came and they gave us a free hand to go into the studio and self-produce. FR: Management called in the guy who ran Vertigo records. For some reason Vertigo was seen to be a very cool label. It’s a good thing I didn’t know that back then or I would have said, “No, don’t do that.” Rick Parfitt: Changing the label was a step up I guess. Vertigo was a bit more trendy and a bit more hip. The promotion was much better, it was a bigger record company, more up to date and I think the timing was great. It elevated the band to where it wanted to go. FR: We were listening to a lot of Chicken Shack at the time, which were Stan Webb on guitar and Christine McVie – though she was Christine Perfect at the time – of early Fleetwood Mac, Taste, coupled with all the Little Richard and some of that 50s stuff we drifted through. We would sit by the side of the stage and Chicken Shack would start, “2… 3… 4… dunk du dunk du dunk du dunk” and an hour and a half later they’re still doing it. And we’re thinking, “This is fucking great! Why aren’t we doing this?” RP: On our first European tour, Francis and I went out to a club. The Doors’ ‘Roadhouse Blues’ came over the sound system. There was this couple dancing really kind of slinkily to this dunk-du-dunk-du-dunk-du-dunk kind of rhythm and I just looked at him and he looked at me and the hairs stood up on our arms. We thought, well, we’ve got to play that! That was really the start of the Quo style of music, the 12-bar blues shuffle rhythm. John Coghlan: I remember we were in Germany in a club and this ‘Roadhouse Blues’ came on and the audience loved it, they were leaping about, having a good time, so we put it in our set and it paid off. RP: We had just started touring and immediately we started to rehearse this ‘Roadhouse Blues’ track and it became very popular. Alan Lancaster sang it and he sang it really, really well. And we just did a completely different version of it than the Doors, much heavier and in the Quo style that we were just beginning to find. So we started playing that and then we started writing stuff like ‘Don’t Waste My Time’ and all kinds of things that had that sort of shuffle rhythm. It just became the trademark and people just loved it. JC: I’ve always played a lot of stuff with what they call four-on-the-floor, four beats to the bar on the bass drum. Played hard and loud, that’s what makes the people leap up and down and do that Quo dance, shuffle. A lot of drummers don’t play four-on-the-floor, they do two to the bar, it doesn’t work, you have to play four to the bar, for the shuffle, which I’m pleased to say I’m good at. RP: I like to imagine other bands going, “Look, I’ve come up with this song that goes dunk-du-dunk-du-dunk-du-dunk” and the other members going, “Well, we can’t do that because we’ll sound like Status Quo!” AL: Piledriver was one of our natural albums. Our first big hit. We were playing that stuff on stage in concert and usually when you’re recording you’re making an album and you haven’t played the stuff before and you’re getting it all together and writing and then the album is made and then you realize when you’re playing them live that the recording was a lot better. But with Piledriver we were playing that stuff live and when we went into the studio we were ready to go! So that’s what I mean by natural, we didn’t have to work on the songs or write too much in the studio. JC: I think we knew what we wanted. We didn’t want to be told by a producer how it should be. We didn’t want to spend all our time trying to explain how we want to go in one direction and have him trying to pull us in another way. He would want it to be really commercial and we wanted it to be more heavy. FR: We used to sit in a circle at the IBC Studios in Portland Place, London. We’d be making the album, there’s the smell of kebabs and we’d be smoking joints. JC: I’ve never smoked cigarettes in my life because I hated the idea of it, but I remember having a joint because in those days as far as I was concerned it was pretty mild and it was pretty harmless. It was part of that scene. But I had to be careful because if I smoked too much I couldn’t play! AL: We very much played as a band, we didn’t do much of that one at a time stuff that bands do today. All of that stuff on Vertigo was played live. None of it was played individually like playing in the studio on your own – except for the vocals, we always did the vocals separate. FR: All of a sudden the engineer would come in and say, “You’re going to have to stop”, because the Chinese embassy next door was sending morse code messages and they were coming through our amplifiers! It was hilarious at the time. Someone’s sending a message to China, do-do-do-doo-do-doo-do-do, all you’d have to do is sit down and work it out! AL: It was a lovely big room with high ceilings and it had a fireplace in it. It was a massive so you could all play in it together and the sound wouldn’t smash your ears when you played hard. We’d play in the soundroom together and we used to call it the ‘magic circle’, all facing one another with John behind us and the lovely high ceilings would just pass it out and we would play and play and play, and in a few takes we’d have it down. RP: I think Piledriver holds up because it was of its time and there is some beautiful songs on there. There are some classics like ‘Big Fat Moma’ and ‘Paper Plane’ and the now very famous ‘Roadhouse Blues’ which was actually responsible for kicking off everything that we do. JC: ‘A Year’, ‘All The Reasons’, ‘Big Fat Moma’, they’re great songs and those three guys are great songwriters, as is [Quo roadie and collaborator] Bob Young. AL: I wrote ‘A Year’ with Bernie Frost, a guy that John had introduced us to. He had this one line, he played it for me once at my house, “da-da-daa-da-da-du-da da-da-la,” he says, “that’s all I’ve got”. I took it from there. It’s got a certain vibe, we thought about playing it live, but it’s quite a down sort of song. When you’re young the things you think about are sex or death, and I guess sexual death is what that song is about! Losing someone you love. ‘A Year’ was one of those one-offs, I was just trying to make a nice dramatic song. RP: One of the tracks that I really love on there that was really unusual for us was ‘Unspoken Words’, it’s such a lovely song. I don’t think we’ll be doing it live, but we’ll be doing things like ‘Big Fat Moma’ and ‘Paper Plane’. You know what? I love every track on that album! I think ‘All The Reasons’, it’s just such a beautiful song. I wrote that about my wife at the time. JC: I love ‘O Baby’ it’s like early blues to me! We’ve been playing that one for the Frantic Four shows and it goes down great. RP: I came up with the title of Piledriver because it was so heavy and I thought Piledriver was quite applicable to Quo at that time. It’s one of my favourite albums. I love all the albums from that time. We lost our way for a bit after that, in the mid-80s and 90s we lost our way, we got into drugs and everybody’s head started going off in different directions whereas before we were like one. Once the drugs crept in, everything started to go mad. It all kind of fell apart and of course the animosity crept in and Alan went to live in Australia and John disappeared somewhere. But for us to get back together for these reunion shows, and be friends all these years later, it’s been brilliant. People who had their Quo jacket hanging up in their wardrobe for the last 30 years are going, “Is this really true?” The reaction was amazing. FR: It’s a learning curve for me because I hear ‘nostalgia’ and I think, “Puh! Bad word." But it’s not! We all have nostalgic feelings about all sorts of things. I could see these people at the shows and they were crying. JC: When someone told me that, that there were grown men crying, I said, “Christ! We weren’t that bad were we?” FR: It’s not necessarily my decision to end it now, but it can’t go on without me, and I’m not going! [laughs] I think it’s fine to have it one more time and then that’s it. RP: Getting the band back together was a platinum moment, it was shiny and wonderful. This time with the line-up it will be gold, and I do not want it to go down to silver and then to bronze. I don’t want that to happen. I want to go out on a great high. So this is definitely the last time we’ll do it… definitely… maybe [laughs]. Maybe definitely.

The result was a hit album and a best-selling single — 'Rockin' All Over The World'.	en	https://www.soundonsound.com/sites/default/files/favicon_0.ico		https://www.soundonsound.com/techniques/classic-tracks-status-quo-rockin-all-over-world	In 1977 Status Quo brought in producer Pip Williams to help them clean up their act. The result was a hit album and a best-selling single — 'Rockin' All Over The World'. Never mind that long-standing joke about the band members' inability to play anything other than the same three guitar chords, as parodied in the self-mocking title of their most recent album, In Search Of The Fourth Chord. The fact is, Status Quo have enjoyed more than 60 chart hits in their native UK since 'Pictures Of Matchstick Men' reached number seven in 1968 — the most of any rock group in history. Along the way, they have made the transition from the pop psychedelia of the aforementioned single (their only Top 40 hit in the States) to their hard rock boogie of the early '70s and, commencing in 1977, the more polished and commercial sound that, despite alienating many of their hardcore followers, has, to date, helped Quo sell around 120 million records worldwide. Not bad for a group of South Londoners who, as formed by lead guitarist/vocalist Francis Rossi and bass player Alan Lancaster, started life as the Scorpions way back in 1962. Drummer John Coghlan joined the following year, by which time the Scorpions had evolved into the Spectres, and the line-up was subsequently augmented by Roy Lynes on keyboards and, in 1968, Rick Parfitt on rhythm guitar. At that point, having undergone several more name changes — from Traffic Jam to the Status Quo and, finally, Status Quo — the band hired tour manager Bob Young who, as an unofficial member of the group, would go on to write a number of songs, most of them in collaboration with Francis Rossi. These included 'Down Down', which became Quo's first chart-topper in 1975. Nevertheless, after multi-instrumentalist Andy Bown was subsequently recruited to take over on keyboards — Roy Lynes had left in 1970 — the denim-clad musicians opted to depart from the rough and ready music that had built them a huge fan base on the UK live circuit while earning them plaudits for the self-produced albums Piledriver (1973), Hello! (1973), Quo (1974), On The Level (1975) and Blue For You (1976). "They were under immense pressure to clean it up a bit," says Pip Williams, who brought a fresher, more pop-oriented patina to Rockin' All Over The World, the 1977 album that dispensed with Quo's trademark 'wall of sound' — comprising an in-your‑face mix of pumping bass and hard-edged guitars — while spawning a title track that has proved to be their best-known and best-selling single; a rollicking cover of a composition by ex‑Creedence Clearwater Revival frontman John Fogerty. "Quo used to record with [engineer] Damon Lyon-Shaw at IBC on [London's] Portland Place, and it was a case of 'set up the stacks and play loud' in the studio," Williams continues. "For better or for worse, I can see the appeal of that, but they had never had any success in the States after 'Pictures Of Matchstick Men', and so the idea was to bring in someone who could clean things up a bit and make them more commercial with, perhaps, an American slant." As an aside, Williams advances a theory that Quo's Stateside lack of success may have been due to a couple of factors: the band's own reluctance to build a following by performing as a low-billed support act at the same time as they were headlining in Europe; and Rossi and Parfitt's relatively understated, buried-in-the-track lead vocals that may be of limited appeal to Americans used to the oversized, soulful voices of British rock singers such as David Coverdale and Roger Daltrey. "This is just an opinion, but who knows?" Williams remarks. "All I know is that I was brought in to do a job and that for 30-odd years I've had flak from Quo fans for the stuff I've done with the band. I mean, I'm 'twixt the devil and the deep blue sea. Whatever I do, I can never bloody win." Meeting The Quo The producer of acts ranging from The Moody Blues and Dr Feelgood to Uriah Heep, Shirley Bassey and Barclay James Harvest, Philip 'Pip' Williams was born in Hillingdon, Middlesex, in 1947 and played guitar for a number of different soul bands throughout the 1960s, while also working as the musical director on Al Green's British tours and serving as an MD for Jimmy Ruffin. Then, at the start of the next decade, under the patronage of producer Phil Wainman, he became one of the British industry's most in-demand session guitarists, playing on records by glam rockers the Sweet and Mud, as well as on the Walker Brothers' hit, 'No Regrets'. At the same time, courtesy of a short course in harmony and counterpoint at Leeds College Of Music, he was also a prolific pop arranger — his credits in this field would come to include the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, the Kinks, Barbara Dickson and Ringo Starr. (Indeed, in more recent years, in addition to producing the Finnish symphonic metal group Nightwish, Williams has had the opportunity to further indulge his love for orchestral arranging, as well as becoming a course leader teaching music technology to BA and Masters degree students at Thames Valley University.) But although Williams was known in the early '70s primarily as a musician and arranger, when Decca A&R exec/producer Dick Rowe witnessed Williams' passion for his work — which extended to the then-unusual habit of entering the control room to listen to playbacks of his session-guitar contributions — he asked him if he'd be interested in producing. Williams immediately replied, "Too bloody right I would!" Work followed with folk groups, trad jazz outfits, even an African percussion band, and although none of these records earned Pip Williams much in the way of royalties, they did help him to learn his new craft. Thereafter, he produced projects by Geordie and Mud as one of the first ever producers to actually have his own manager. This was David Walker, who shook things up at the record companies and, in the process, earned his client considerably more than the going rate. When Williams was then approached by an old acquaintance named David Oddie to work with rock singer and songwriter Graham Bonnett, this paved the way for his introduction to Status Quo. Oddie was part of Quo's early management company, Quarry Productions. So, after Williams subsequently produced Bonnett's first solo album, and in light of the fact that Bonnett was also on the Quarry roster, it was hardly surprising that the record came to the attention of Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt. Both men loved its guitar sound — the vast majority of which featured Pip Williams playing his vintage collection of Gretsches, Les Paul Standards and Strats, going through some classic Fender, Marshall, Gibson and Vox amps — and the result was a meeting between them and Williams at Rossi's house in early 1977. "We got on like a house on fire," Williams now recalls, "and that's when we spoke about doing an album together." For tax purposes, this had to take place outside of the UK, and so in the early summer of 1977 the band members and their new producer all flew to Ireland, in order to work at a Dublin studio that had been recommended on the strength of Rory Gallagher having previously recorded there. "It was an absolute hoot," Williams remarks. "It was like a village hall, with hardly any on‑board gear, no isolation and some appalling monitoring. I remember sending my assistant, Keith, to pick up a pair of JBL 4320s that I had, but they weren't enough to correct the sound, so we aborted the whole thing. After going through a list of Eastlake/Westlake facilities in Europe, time was booked at Studio Bohus in Gothenburg, Sweden. The fact that Pip Williams has no problem recollecting when the Studio Bohus sessions commenced is for a very good reason. "We'd been there just a day or two in order to get acclimatised, and then, on the very first day of recording, Bob Young woke me up and said, 'Good morning, Pip, it's nine o'clock and Elvis is dead.'" Studio Bohus From the first day the band spent in Studio Bohus, Williams was aware that there was virtually no natural ambience. "Nothing escaped the little guitar traps, the little area where the bass cab was, or the drum booth," he states. "That's what accounted for the sound of that album, although there's also another very considerable fact to bear in mind: the longer than usual running time meant we had to cope with inner-groove distortion when the record was cut, while also shaving off the low end. What's more, it was mixed on Auratones for American AM radio, so that it would sound great coming out of little speakers. Still, we had a great time making that album, and the guys loved recording tracks like 'Baby Boy', on which Rick played my Vincent Bell electric sitar. They were tickled pink to not just be doing the 'wall of sound'. After all, the Graham Bonnett album that they loved had mostly been recorded at a Westlake studio, the Manor, and thanks to a briefing from their manager, Colin Johnson, they definitely knew what the record company wanted. So, whether or not it was a conscious decision on their part to make the 'wall of sound' disappear, they knew perfectly well that this album was going to be very different. "Studio Bohus had a Harrison desk. It was very small, with maybe 32 channels in-line — possibly only 28 — and Francis loved it so much that he bought one for his studio in Purley and he's still got it. The meat and potatoes — the EQ sections — were fantastic, and those desks are still very sought after. That desk had one of my favourite-sounding EQs, even though my favourite all-time console is an API, like the one they still have at RAK, the one that 10cc had at Strawberry South and also the one at Threshold in London, which is where we subsequently did some dubs with Quo." Production Values John Eden engineered the sessions since, at that time, Pip Williams didn't handle that side of things unless extra fingers were required on the faders during the mix. His prowess behind the console would emerge later on. "I knew exactly what I wanted EQ-wise and I knew all about frequencies," he says. "I knew that 1k would put some more slap into a pair of congas. However, even now I choose not to engineer my own stuff. I like the idea of working with a great engineer, sitting back and producing. My producer's hat involves arranging, orchestrating, directing the performances, producing the vocal. In all truth, hundreds of producers who are around these days don't have a clue how to produce a vocal. When you're working in the box, when you're working with Logic and Pro Tools, it goes a lot beyond that. Producing a vocal is a fine art, and it takes many years to acquire the experience of how to handle vocalists and not just treat them like another instrument. To me, that's always been incredibly important. "Producing a rock band like Status Quo, I suppose it made a huge difference that I was a good guitar player and a trained musician. That enabled me to talk to them and say things like, 'Hang on, it'll work better if you put the seventh in the bass here instead of just the root.' I was able to sit down with Francis Rossi and work through solos. He played all of the solos on the Rockin' All Over The World album, and in some cases he said, 'I loved the solo you played on the demo. Teach it to me.' I would be encouraging them, and the interesting thing is that for every single album I've done with Quo I've been in the studio with them when they've done the backing tracks. That might amount to me singing the guide vocal with obscene lyrics just to keep the vibe up, and in the old days it was also about conducting John [Spud] Coghlan. John, a dear friend of mine and a great drummer in the early Quo, wasn't that brilliant at remembering a song's routine. "If we worked on a song really quickly, like 'Rockin' All Over The World', I would be sitting there, saying, 'Right, we've got a middle eight coming up, Spud. Don't forget to play a fill... Cymbal crash into the solo... Oh, you forgot it. Never mind, we'll overdub it...' That's often what my guide vocal would sound like. Quo are one of the few acts I've produced where I've physically been in there, a part of them. We'd get to the fade and I'd say, 'C'mon! Give it one more! Fours on the kick, Spud! C'mon, drive it!' That's how I produced Quo, encouraging them and vibing them up. And they were totally comfortable with that. "I'm actually bitterly disappointed that there has been stuff said by Alan in recent years, claiming that there was dissatisfaction among the group members with my work methods. In interviews, John Eden has come out in my support and said that, at the time, none of them showed any dissatisfaction whatsoever with anything that I did. In retrospect, they'll make the same criticisms as I do about the albums that I produced, but that wasn't the case at the time. I didn't stand there with a gun to their heads, saying, 'Do this! It's going to be like this!' Everything was done with their total approval. "It was only later on, when Alan was out of the band, that he started getting bitter and all of the vitriolic stuff came out. That was a shame, because I loved Alan." Looking Out For Boris... "They'd actually rehearsed quite a few of the songs at Alan Lancaster's house. He had a huge garage overlooking the pool, and we did a fair bit of routining there before we started the sessions, although not to the extent of rehearsing the life out of everything. Still, this was unusual, because for subsequent albums we didn't really do all that much rehearsing, if any. "On Rockin' All Over The World, for each song we'd get a basic backing track. At that time, there was a trend for double-tracking the basic rhythm guitars, so we'd do that and then we'd cure any 'Borises'." 'A Boris' is common music parlance for a bluff ('Oh, I meant to play that!' 'No, you bloody didn't.' That sort of thing.) The term was coined by Mr Pip Williams in honour of Soviet pentathlete Boris Onishchenko, who was disqualified for cheating at the 1976 Summer Olympics when, during the fencing tournament, it was discovered that his sword had been rigged to register a hit without actually touching an opponent. "We had a huge laugh the night I introduced that term," Williams recalls, "because there were different grades of Boris. There was a five-star Boris, where everyone in the band was fooled, along with the producer and the engineer, and this went down to a two-star Boris, where not even roadies were fooled, and a one-star Boris, where not even the drummer was fooled. "So, anyway, we'd lay down a backing track, do a Boris check, drop in any little parts, and then, as a matter of course, Francis would double-track the rhythm guitars. We'd subsequently come to realise that less is often more, and on later albums we didn't automatically double-track every guitar, but that was still the procedure back in 1977." Rough As A Badger's Arse All of which returns us to the focal point of this article: 'Rockin' All Over the World', which, in addition to rising to number three in the British pop charts following its release in September 1977, was used by the BBC to advertise its coverage of Live Aid in 1985. Three years later, with Pip Williams once again at the helm, the song was re‑recorded as 'Running All Over The World' in support of another all-star charity event, Sports Aid, while 2003 saw Status Quo reaffirming the song's popularity by way of yet another re-recorded version that appeared on their Riffs album. "Before we even went into the Gothenburg studio, Colin Johnson told me, 'I've spoken to Rick and we fancy doing 'Rockin' All Over The World','" recalls Williams. "As far as my memory serves me, the original idea was Colin's, although Rick presented the song to the rest of the band after a week or two of the sessions in Gothenburg, and I remember that Alan Lancaster wasn't that mad about it. "This was one of the songs that hadn't been rehearsed, but we played the original by John Fogerty and it wasn't rocket science. So we ran through it a couple of times, and although it sounded raw and we didn't even have the piano intro, we did a take before breaking for dinner at around five in the afternoon. After dinner, we worked for another five hours and got up to about take eight, but every so often I'd go back to that first pre-dinner run-through that John [Eden] had fortunately recorded, and eventually I said, 'It's got it. It's as rough as a badger's arse, but it's got it.' "One of the things Quo were very good at was being able to say, 'There's the take,' but in this case they said, 'Well, there are loads of Borises on it, Pip.' I said, 'I'm amenable. If you want to go on all night, another day or another two days, then that's fine with me.' As you know, with rock bands things often go full-circle, and you'd better record the first take because it will always have something. It's a bit like waiting for a London bus — you can be there for hours and then the take will come along. Or it can happen quickly. Take one of 'Rockin' All Over The World' was brilliant in terms of its lilt. "If you analyse that recording very carefully, it's got something that the old Chuck Berry tracks used to have: ostensibly, a straight eight quaver rhythm to which the drummer plays a shuffle. What happens is that it lollops along with a bass line that is quite free, and together with the guitars this creates a really great feel. "After I proposed using the first take, we did the usual Boris check and cured all of the guitars, with Francis double-tracking them. We also dropped-in a few bass notes and overdubbed a load of cymbal fills before they said, 'We haven't got a fcking intro!' "I therefore had John put up a bit of spare two-inch, and then I asked Andy Bown to go and play some sort of Jerry Lee Lewis piano intro. Which is what he did, while asking, 'Something like this?' I said, 'Something exactly like that.' So, we recorded him, tightened up his part through editing, spliced it onto the front of the song, and there was the take." Mixin' All Over The World While the mixing for the Rockin' All Over The World album was done at Marquee Studios, the one exception was its title track, which the record company wanted to release as soon as possible as the first single. "Marquee wasn't available, so we mixed that on Auratones in one session at Threshold, starting at midnight and finishing at eight in the morning," says Williams. "Francis Rossi called me later that day, and when we asked one another what we thought of the track, he said, 'I think it's tremendous.' And he was right. It sounded great even on a tinny radio. "I remember when we first played the finished album at the Phonogram HQ just off Marble Arch, and the company's MD, a lovely guy named Ken Malliphant, had us all sit there with his entire staff and the press people in one of the big playback rooms. I was crapping myself, but he was a great boss for vibing people up, and when the record finished being played he said, 'Have we got an album or have we got an album? Guys, fck off out there and sell it!' In subsequent years, you'd never get that kind of vibing up at the record company. It was exciting. Although there have recently been suggestions about remixing the album to try to fatten up the sound, I kind of like preserving the historical moment. It is what it is, and I'm still immensely proud whenever I see clips of Live Aid to know the song that I produced kicked off one of the biggest events in music history."

Do you contemplate their pain? Imagine facing all the fucking differences And do you believe in hopes and dreams that pass you by? Have you ever thought about all those who didn’t try? Did you ever think you’d watch it all just fade away? 2. Status Quo 02:25 I’m stood here in a contradiction As we push things out the door Stumbling through with good intentions While we show what we stand for We were never really made for this So fight on through Join hands, stand together Protect the people you know and love Walk on and fight those demons Because you’re not one to give up We are all strong enough to spark a bit of change A fuck you to the ignorant and those who are to blame Alright!

-	en	https://www.xsnoize.com/…5426_n-32x32.jpg	XS Noize \| Independent Music News	https://www.xsnoize.com/status-quo-announce-the-release-of-the-first-volume-of-the-new-official-archive-series/	The iconic Status Quo are delighted to announce the release of the first volume of the new ‘Official Archive Series’ brought to you by earMUSIC. ‘Vol. 1 – Live In Amsterdam’ will be released on 11 August 2023 in strictly limited and numbered CD and vinyl editions, as well as in digital formats. As with each forthcoming release in this series, this official and fully endorsed recording features a carefully curated selection of iconic Status Quo performances, including classic hits spanning their extensive catalogue, deep cuts and fan favourites. Each track is a testament to the band’s enduring popularity and musical prowess. The next volume will be released in November and was recorded in London, so keep your eyes open for the following releases! The ‘Official Archive Series’ will offer exceptional sound quality and great packaging throughout, featuring photography by Christie Goodwin. The Series has been freshly mixed and mastered by Eike Freese and Laurin Halberstadt at Chameleon Studios Hamburg. ‘Vol. 1 – Live In Amsterdam’ was recorded in the Dutch capital on 19 October 2010 on the band’s ‘Pictures Exposed World Tour’. The setlist at the Heineken Hall was representative of the rest of the ‘Pictures Exposed World Tour’ with the line-up of Francis Rossi, Rick Parfitt, Andrew Bown, John ‘Rhino’ Edwards and Matt Letley delivering an avalanche of Quo classics, as befitted a tour celebrating ‘40 Years of Hits’. A first musical foretaste of the release of ‘Official Archive Series Vol. 1 – Live In Amsterdam’ is already available with the single ‘Beginning Of The End’, first released on the album ‘In Search Of The Fourth Chord’ in 2007. The first release sets the bar high for what is due to follow, but each album in the Status Quo ‘Official Archive Series’ captures the raw energy and infectious enthusiasm of a Status Quo live performance, no matter where in the world. With their trademark sound, powerful guitar riffs, and irresistible hooks, the band delivers an unadulterated rock ’n’ roll experience, and this collectable series is a great way to celebrate one of the greatest live acts ever.

Covid came along and that got rescheduled and then cancelled altogether but Rossi finally makes it to Hastings’ White Rock Theatre on his follow-up tour, ‘Tunes and Chat’. The previous tour adopted that well-established format for this type of evening: seasoned music journo chats to acclaimed rock star about their life and career, interspersed with some live songs. Sadly, (for the reasons given above) I didn’t get the chance to see Rossi do this with veteran rock writer, Mick Wall, when they went out on the road but Rossi clearly enjoyed himself because he’s back for more. However, this time he’s eschewed the standard format of on-stage bantering with an established music journo and it’s just Rossi and his guitar tech and accomplished co-musician, Andy Brook. Brook famously doesn’t say a word during the show until right towards the end when he reads out some audience questions for Rossi to answer. So the “chat” part is very much Rossi in solo mode. It soon begins to remind me of one of those monologues that Ronnie Corbett used to do sitting on that massive big chair meandering away when he did his solo segment on The Two Ronnies. It’s very stream-of-consciousness with lots of ad-hoc, one-liners interspersed with recollections about growing up in an Italian family in south London, getting hooked on music and embarking on a potentially-lethal home experiment in trying to create his first ever electric guitar. Along with the more generic chit-chat, there’s also some fascinating insights into how certain Quo songs came about. And, my, do we get the songs. Starting off with some of the early material like ‘In My Chair’ and ‘Down The Dustpipe’ before moving on to some of the songs recorded at the height of the band’s success in the 1970s and early 1980s, there is absolutely no shortage of Quo classics, including ‘What You’re Proposing’, ‘Paper Plane’ and ‘Rocking All Over The World’. I’ve seen Status Quo perform acoustically in the past, of course, when they did their ‘Aquostic’ project some years back but this is a much more intimate affair and Rossi is in fine voice and clearly in his element. On stage, Rossi and Andy Brook spar extremely well together musically – even if not conversationally – and the evening ends with a wonderful, communal sing-along to ‘Caroline’. Structured? Not really. Insightful? Partly. Entertaining? Absolutely! https://www.francisrossi.com/ Related posts: Status Quo – Aquostic at Hammersmith Apollo 26/4/15 Status Quo at Hammersmith Apollo 28/3/14 With music-loving parents rock music had always been in the background growing up. By my early teens I’d begun taping a few things off my dad when I first got a portable tape recorder. But these are the first albums that I actually owned. 1. AC/DC – Highway To Hell My dad had been an early adopter as far as AC/DC were concerned, buying High Voltage not long after it was released in the UK and playing it pretty much constantly as I recall. Highway to Hell came out in 1979 and not only did my dad have a copy but my older stepsister had one, too. By 1981, though, she was getting far more into punk and so gifted me her copy. My first rock album – and what an absolute classic to start off with. 2. Status Quo – Never Too Late Not the greatest Quo album but a good solid album and a great cover of ‘Somethin’ Bout You Baby I Like’ which had made the top ten. I was already a confirmed Quo fan when the album was released in March 1981, just in time for my fifteenth birthday in May – thanks Mum! 3. Slade – We’ll Bring The House Down Another fifteenth birthday present (thanks Dad!). I’d been aware of Slade in the early 70s, of course, but by the time I was a teenager they’d virtually disappeared off the radar completely. But I remember watching Top Of The Tops when Slade burst on the screen with their brilliantly raucous comeback single ‘We’ll Bring The House Down’. I asked for the album for my birthday and a life-long devotion to all things Slade followed. Not Slade’s most famous album by a long stretch, but in terms of making an impact on a youthful Darren perhaps the most significant album I ever owned. 4. Deep Purple – In Rock A friend at school sold me this second-hand. He decided he was a punk not a metalhead and this was therefore surplus to requirements so I bought it off him for 50p. A true classic album, I loved (and still do) the combination of Jon Lord’s eerily atmospheric Hammond, Ritchie Blackmore’s manic guitar wizardry and Ian Gillan’s deranged screaming. Deep Purple had been defunct for several years by this time but this was an indication that I would be dipping back into the back catalogues of the previous decade for many of my subsequent musical purchases over the coming years. 5. Whitesnake – Ready an’ Willing Bought from a record shop in Southport while I was in a youth theatre project this album immediately impressed – with one unforgettable tune after another. Just a few weeks later Whitesnake, along with AC/DC and Slade, would be one of the first bands I ever saw – live at the Donington Monsters of Rock festival. 6. Status Quo – Whatever You Want I remember getting this from the local newsagents where they had a small rack of cut-price LPs amongst all the magazines and sweets. I bought it mainly for the title track and ‘Living On An Island’ but this became an album I played loads. 7. Rainbow – Down To Earth Another bargain, this is one I got cheap from a mail-order company. I had already taped my dad’s copies of ‘Rising’ and ‘Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow’ by this time and was a fan of Ronnie James Dio’s vocals but I also really warmed to the more commercial rock of the Graham Bonnet-fronted Rainbow, too. Still a really great album and still one of my favourites. I took this (along with my recently-purchased Ready an Willing and Whatever You Want) to a party in the summer of 81 and they all got a bit scratched and battered, sadly. It was an early lesson in why you should not take records to parties – but, with any luck, hopefully someone would be inventing the CD for me in a couple of year’s time…. So that was my first bunch of albums. Many, many hundreds more would follow over the years. But, looking back, I feel fairly nostalgic thinking about how it all started for me and, if I may so myself, not a bad choice of albums at all…. Seven spectacular reunion gigs The communal celebration of a band’s legacy, the return of a classic sound and unforgettable songs, the emotional resonance of seeing members sharing a stage again after many years apart; there can be something very,very special about reunion gigs of your favourite bands. As the reunited line-up of Ozzy, Geezer and Tony prepare to play their final Black Sabbath show I look back on some pretty special band reunions. In no particular order, here are seven spectacular reunions I’ve been lucky enough to witness in recent years. 1. Black Sabbath 2014 and 2017 Truly one of the great reunions of modern times, even without original drummer Bill Ward. Back in 2014 when Sabbath played Hyde Park I wrote ‘Osbourne’s ups and downs have certainly been well-documented and Iommi has been undergoing debilitating bouts of chemotherapy over the past two years. All of that is a world away from tonight’s performance, however, and the band members are all blisteringly on form. They commence with a stunning version of War Pigs and one by one the classics are reeled off: Snowblind, Fairies Wear Boots, Iron Man. The sound is great. The guitars, drums and vocals are everything you would want at a Sabbath gig.’ When dates were announced for The End tour I had zero hesitation in snapping up a ticket. Reviews from 2014 here and from 2017 here. 2. Status Quo ‘Frantic Four’ 2013 and 2014 Although Status Quo continued to fill arenas each year, there was something very special and very emotional about seeing the classic ‘frantic four’ line-up of Alan Lancaster, John Coghlan, Rick Parfitt and Francis Rossi walk on stage at the Hammersmith Apollo after a 32-year absence. The earthy, rocky, bluesy brand of boogie they played that night was quite different from the keyboard-heavy pop-rock act that normally tours under the Quo banner these days and the crowd were absolutely ecstatic. Sadly, following the tragic death of Rick Parfitt, it’s something that can never be repeated now, but I was lucky enough to see them on both the original reunion tour in 2013 and the follow-up a year later. Here’s my review from 2014. 3. Mott The Hoople 2009 and 2013 I have loved Mott The Hoople ever since discovering one of their albums second-hand as teenager in the early 80s. And although I’d seen Ian Hunter solo before I was amazed to open the Guardian guide one Saturday morning and see an advert for a Mott The Hoople reunion at the Hammersmith Apollo with all the original members, 35 years after the bands demise. Although alzheimer’s was beginning to take its toll on drummer Dale Griffin he joined the band for the encores in 2009. Hugely emotional, it was a glorious celebration of a criminally under-rated band and remains one of my favourite gigs of all time and remains a text-book case of how to pull off a reunion with dignity, style, emotion and meaning. I saw the band again at the O2 when the reunion (sans Griffin) was repeated four years later. The sad deaths of both Dale Griffin and bass-player Overend Watts in the past year remind us how privileged Mott fans were to get their long-awaited reunion when they did. 4. Beach Boys 2012 While I’d seen a couple of stunning solo shows from Brian Wilson, I’d never been at all tempted by the Mike Love-fronted band that continued to tour under the Beach Boys name. But when it was announced that the surviving Beach Boys (Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, Bruce Johnston and David Marks) would be re-uniting to celebrate the band’s fiftieth anniversary I snapped up tickets for friends and family as soon as they went on sale. A mega run-through of Beach Boys hits, a gloriously full sound (aided by musicians from Brian Wilson’s musically brilliant touring band) and a beautifully authentic-sounding new studio album, too, this was definitely a reunion not to be missed. Al Jardine’s voice was particularly outstanding still. 5. Blur 2009 and 2015 Blur’s Hyde Park reunions have become something of a tradition. I saw the first in 2009 and although I missed the one for the 2012 Olympics I did see them again in 2015. ‘The crowd is hugely good natured and it’s very much a communal celebration in Hyde Park. These songs have stood the test of time and are rightly held in great affection, as are the band who play them’ is what I wrote at the time. My full review from 2015 here. 6. Fotheringay 2015 ‘Sandy Denny was the finest British female singer-songwriter that ever lived. Fotheringay was the short-lived band she formed in 1970 on leaving Fairport Convention. It lasted less than a year, but forty-five years on the surviving members have reformed for a short tour and are playing their first London gig since 1970. Band reunions can elicit mixed reactions and some questions went through my mind on this one. However talented the remaining musicians are, would this be a worthwhile exercise with the band’s two main front-people, Sandy Denny and her husband Trevor Lucas, long since deceased? As soon as the band come on stage, though, and open with Nothing More, the opening number on the original Fotheringay album, all doubts are set aside.’ Full review here. 7. The Kinks (well Ray and Dave) 2015 Who knows if there’ll ever be a Kinks reunion. I did, however, catch a solo gig of Dave Davies in Islington back in 2015 with a very nice surprise at the end. Here’s what I wrote at the time: ‘Of course, when he came back on for an encore we could all guess absolutely what the song was going to be. What we couldn’t guess, though, was who would be joining him for that final song. “A surprise for Christmas!” announced Dave and on walked his brother Ray, the two of them sharing a stage together for the first time in 19 years. The audience as one are hit with amazement and wonderment at this beautiful and unexpected moment in rock’n’ roll history. Ray was in fine voice as he sang You Really Got Me and Dave cranked up the guitar. The audience went wild. Excitement, joy and genuine emotion as that 2 minutes and 14 seconds of one of the greatest rock’n’roll songs of all time blasted out from the stage.’ Full review here. Of course, there are some band reunions I would love to see if ever they were so inclined (Gillan, Supergrass, the surviving members of the Byrds) and there is one I would have loved to have seen happen more than anything (Slade) but the possibility of that seems ever more remote with each passing year. However, I do feel genuinely lucky to be present at each of those moments described above. Which have been your favourite musical reunions and which bands would you like to see re-unite? Status Quo are a band that stopped worrying about critical acclaim and musical credibility long, long ago. After the band’s 70s/early 80s peak we’ve seen cringe-worthy covers albums, sing-along football songs, bizarre collaborations with the Beach Boys; in fact you name it, they’ve tried it. Even the well-received reunion of their classic 70s line-up in 2013 was immediately followed by a cheesy mafia comedy film set on a tropical island. So the idea of a Status Quo acoustic album and tour could be dismissed as yet the latest undignified attempt in a long line of pointless gimmicks. Except that… the album was actually rather good. And following a strong reception to a one-off acoustic show at the Roundhouse last year, touring it was an inspired idea. More than simply strumming along to some old hits, however, the band took the trouble to create completely reworked arrangements for the album and they are replicated here tonight. The acoustic guitars and harmonica are complimented by a range of other instruments, including mandolin, accordion, viola, cello and violins. Joining the modern era line-up of Status Quo (Francis Rossi, Rick Parfitt, Andrew Brown, John Edwards and new-boy Leon Cave) are an additional nine musicians as well as two female backing singers, all of whom, Rossi tells the crowd, played on the album. Rather than the usual Quo gig, the elegant lighting, back drapes and stage full of seated musicians looks more like the setting for a 1950s dance band. The sound is still unmistakably Status Quo but the light and breezy arrangements and sensitive vocals show off the quality of the songwriting and bring out new depths to often familiar songs. A beautifully laid-back version of early 80s hit “Rock ‘n’ Roll” is a particular highlight and there are some lovely reworkings of earlier material like “Reason for Living”, now re-imagined as a folk-rock rock classic. Rain is given a makeover as a countrified acoustic blues and a classically-infused Mystery Song, with exquisitely catchy string accompaniment, is another highlight. Of course many of the best known classics are included, too, like Caroline, What Your Proposin’ and Down Down. The set proper is finished with Whatever You Want and Rockin All Over the World, the acoustic treatments creating the perfect setting for a mighty communal sing-along. Thankfully the post 1983 material has been kept to a minimum in favour of earlier classics, but they encore with a nicely sensitive version of Rock ‘til You Drop. That is then followed by the gimmicky jig, Burning Bridges. It wouldn’t be my choice for a Quo encore but the crowd lap it up and you can forgive the band one lapse of good taste after such a stunning evening.

But when it comes to big rock reunions, and I’ve seen a few, nothing beats a well-chosen, established act from a similar era to kick things off. Status Quo have chosen brilliantly here by getting in Wilko Johnson as the support for their “frantic four” classic-era reunion tour. Diagnosed with terminal cancer in early 2013, former Dr Feelgood guitarist, Johnson, made the brave, inspirational and utterly life-affirming decision to use his remaining time, not pursuing a debilitating and ultimately futile course of treatment, but by saying farewell to his fans with a series of live dates. There has been no sign of his being incapacitated just yet and so further dates have been added, the Quo tour being the latest. And what a magnificent performance, not only from Wilko but from bass player Norman Watt-Roy and drummer, Dylan Howe. The crowd roared its approval as the trio delivered blistering performances of Feelgood classics like Roxette, Back in the Night and She Does it right. The admiration and affection for the man tonight was moving but this was no mere sympathy vote. It was a genuinely magnificent set and the crowd responded accordingly. Quo could not have chosen a better way to open up the evening. After a shortish break the lights dimmed, the famous spoken intro from the 1977 live album was relayed over the PA, the silhouette backdrop made famous by the “Hello” album cover came down and Francis Rossi, Rick Parfitt, Alan Lancaster and John Coghlan walked on stage. The four are reunited for a second time after their reunion tour last year following a 32-year break. Since the demise of the classic line-up in the 80s Status Quo, under Rossi and Parfitt, has very much continued, of course. But what we saw tonight was something very different from the lighter keyboard-heavy pop-rock act that continues to fill arenas every year. Like last year’s Quo re-union tour, again there was a focus on material from the early 70s albums, rather than the big hits of later years. It was a very similar, setlist too, but although lacking the emotional resonance of seeing four guys walking out on stage together for the first time in over 30 years, it more than made up for that by being a somewhat tighter performance from the band than in 2013. As in last year’s reunion, returning bass player, Alan Lancaster, got a hefty slice of the lead vocal duties, Lancaster’s gritty vocals being something that later versions of the band have definitely missed out on. I’ve seen the post-Lancaster/Coghlan Status Quo at a couple of festivals, and while they are undeniably fun and entertaining, the quality of songs and the earthiness of the performance when the original four get on stage together provides something different altogether. Highlights for me were Lancaster opening with Junior’s Wailing, Rossi singing In My Chair, and a magnificent performance of perennial crowd-pleaser Forty Five Hundred Times. Although the focus was very much on album classics, I must confess when I saw them last year I was ever so slightly disappointed that they had chosen not to play one of their greatest ever hit singles, Caroline. Tonight, though that was rectified and the band encored with a magnificent version of Caroline, followed by traditional show closer, Chuck Berry’s Bye Bye Johnny. Definitely, a memorable night for British rock.

Status Quo have been around for 25 years, but it's not always been heads down, no nonsense success. On the other hand, as Rick Parfitt tells Jon Lewin, they're not exactly an unknown band... "WHEN I was young, if anybody had told me that I'd be driving a Porsche, would have 90 or so gold albums on the wall, and would be number one in the charts, I'd have told them to sod off – I just couldn't imagine that this could have happened." Rick Parfitt got his first guitar at the age of ten. "I just wanted a guitar like every young kid at that time, and fortunately I learned to play a tune in the first week. It was 'Mary's Boy Child', 'cos it was Christmas and that was one of my mum's favourite songs. I don't know how I learnt but I did, and managed to get this sort of one finger chord – so what's new? I haven't improved recently," he laughed. "When I was 15, as soon as I left school, I went off to a holiday camp to play on my own in a bar, and that was the start of it all. The Sunshine Holiday Camp, in Hayling Island, 1963. I was a Canary, wearing the yellow tops, just like 'Hi De Hi'. I was playing standards, like 'Island Of Dreams' from the Springfields, 'When The Saints Go Marching In'." At another holiday camp – Butlins, Minehead, in 1965 – Rick saw a group called The Spectres playing in the Rock Ballroom and realised that beat music ("as it was known at the time") was for him, rather than his cabaret "hairy fairy, bow tie thing". He got pally with The Spectres, particularly two by the names of Alan Lancaster and Francis Rossi. "Francis got chucked out of his digs, because he got caught in bed with a girl, and I said, 'I can't see you out on the streets, so I'll stick along with you.' We were sleeping in baths and on the beach, and we became really close. When the season ended, we said we'd write, stay in touch, which we did." But it wasn't for two years – November 1967 – that Rick got the call. The Highlights had rowed and broken up, and Rick had been working as a baker for two weeks when he was asked to join The Spectres, who by this time had signed to Pye Records. "I've been very lucky — doors have opened for me just at the right time. I chucked the job in straight away." Rick's first guitar with The Spectres was a red Gibson 335 bought on HP, which he kept for two years. Not long after that, Francis Rossi bought his green Telecaster; this guitar gave the band a different sound, so Rick lashed out £90 for a hand-painted 1960 Tele. This is still his main guitar. The first Quo single, released at the end of 1967, was 'Pictures Of Matchstick Men', which peaked at number seven in the charts. A hit, but how did it affect Rick? "I did literally go weak at the knees when I heard 'Pictures Of Matchstick Men' on the radio, Keith Fordyce or David Jacobs on a Saturday, and I was at home, and we had the radiogram – with the lid that lifts up and all the gubbins, y'know? – and I said mum, come in 'ere and listen to my record – it was always mum, never dad – and I remember when my voice came in on the harmony in the chorus, it just freaked me out. And the band? "I do remember when 'Matchstick Men' came out, we were rehearsing down Lambeth Walk, and it had just reached number 11. Francis was still working, mowing lawns, and Alan Lancaster was still cleaning windows, and Pat, our manager, came down and said, right, you can give up your day jobs, you're now turning professional. We all went waa-hey, and went over the pub." Even though they were having chart success, the band weren't rich. "I can't say we were making a living. We were playing for like £50 or £60 a night; but when you've gotta put petrol in the van, get new bits and pieces of gear, pay for your guitar on HP, in those days... when 'Matchstick Men' was out, I was still living at home, borrowing fivers off my mum." "Just about every day of the week was spent gigging. We were backing Madeline Bell when 'Matchstick Men' was in the charts, as well as doing our own thing. You'd get up pretty early, which was no problem in those days... I lived down in Woking, so I'd have to scamper up to London in my Standard A10, and we'd all meet up at Lambeth Walk, at the Gas showrooms, which was where we used to rehearse, in the cellars – it's a completely different shop now. They were pretty grim, with all these rats knocking about. Alan Lancaster used to kill these rats... I could never handle how he used to whack 'em... "Anyway, we'd load the van up, drive off to where we had to go, do the gig, pack the gear up – no roadies in those days – drive back, unload the gear back into the Gas showrooms at about one o'clock in the morning, then go home. Then do the same the next day." The Quo's early dabblings with the pop charts resulted in one further hit ('Ice In The Sun') and then a string of misses. There followed what's normally referred to by Quo biographers as the lean years, though the band saw it differently. For most of 1969, they rehearsed. Their pop image made it difficult for them to get gigs, but they were fortunate to have management with faith and a few fivers to lend. "We rehearsed for the whole year, which is where the sound that Quo has today came from. We started to fall into Steampacket... er... Steamhammer type things – 'Junior's Wailing'. I wasn't quite sure about this chugging beat at first, but we played it and played it, and we looked at 'Roadhouse Blues', stuff like that, and we realised that we all dug this rhythm, that there was something infectious about it for us. It used to really turn me on playing this 'chunk chunk-chunk' thing." Almost as important (and innovative) was the realisation that the band didn't have to wear stage gear. So out went the pink bell-bottoms and yellow frilly shirts, and on stayed the jeans with holes in the knees, T-shirts and plimsoles. The first gig they did with the new sound and image was at The Castle, in Tooting, South London. "WE ACTUALLY GOT £320, AND I REMEMBER SITTING IN THE DRESSING ROOM, GOING 'FIVER FOR YOU, FIVER FOR YOU', COUNTING IT OUT." "There was us and Mott The Hoople, and there was all these people that I'd never seen before. They were called 'heads': long hair, trench coat, album, and a pint of beer, right? They'd sit on the floor cross-legged and bang their heads. We learnt a lot from them: when they were all nodding their heads, we thought, we'll have some of that, so we did the same. That was how the whole Quo stance came about, legs apart, heads down. That was it – Quo was born." Rick states that there was never any question of the band splitting up, though there was some friction with Francis Rossi over the £1400 he received for 'Matchstick Men'. The band had one of their first rows, though Rick now thinks Francis was right not to split the money. "But we didn't realise that we were down and out. We just wanted to play. We actually played to three people once, half way to Margate, some ballroom on the left-hand side." Status Quo had two years or so of struggle before they turned the corner. There's one specific incident that Rick remembers which marked the beginning of a new era. "I remember playing Links Pavilion in Cromer: the first time we ever came away with more than £300, it must have been 1969 or 70. We actually got £320, and I remember sitting in the dressing room, going 'fiver for you, fiver for you', counting it out. I actually came home with money in my pocket, getting home about 4am, saying to my mum and dad, wake up, throwing this money all over the room. I suppose that was the start of us actually making money. That's what I remember as being the start of our success. I put £60 in the bank." Was there any difference between his image of success and the real thing? "As far as I can remember I didn't have an image of what fame was like: I'd look at the stars on my wall, and I loved them, and that was it. Quo's rise to fame was so gradual that I don't think we really felt it. Obviously when there were people in the business, like manager Billy Gaff, who said you're going to make it, that always gave me a bit of a tingle. You'll be driving Ferraris, all that shit, but you believe it at the time. As it happens it turned out to be true. Though it was Porsches, not Ferraris." Another important rung on the ladder for Status Quo was their first gold album, awarded for "Piledriver" in 1973. "I thought Christ, this is fantastic; when I was young, even in my wildest dreams, I never thought about gold albums – it just didn't dawn on you. Nowadays you look at them and say, oh, another one. You get so many you do become a bit complacent about it; they get packed in the cupboard, I give them to my mum, I give them away to charities and that..." The Quo's well-documented success throughout the 1970s and into the 1980s doesn't seem to have made much difference to the basis of Rick's lifestyle. The on-tour routine now is get up, shower, have breakfast, go to the next gig – he's simply cleaner and better fed. Even though he's now approaching 40, Rick says that the physical side of touring still isn't a problem. "Age doesn't come into it at all; the hard side is the mental side... the travelling, the hanging about in hotels, hanging about backstage before you go on, that's what does me in. As long as I'm active, I'm fine." The band have been through a lot of changes recently; first, drummer John Coghlan left, then bassist Alan Lancaster departed in a flurry of acrimonious lawsuits, leaving Rossi and Parfitt the only two remaining original members. Rick, with the benefit of a heavy dose of hindsight, sees it as a process of streamlining. "We've had changes ever since organist Roy Lynes left at the end of the 1960s. I think now we've found what we really wanted – precision. John, the things he hated most were recording, gigging, and rehearsing. And Alan Lancaster – there was a slight problem with Alan – he had a bit of a gammy right hand, and if you soloed some of his bass parts... well, Francis and I had to overdub his bass parts without him knowing to get that real 'chunk'. That's something I haven't told anybody before..." Both Rick and Francis Rossi believe the new line-up to be the best Status Quo have ever had; the new rhythm section of Jeff Rich and John Edwards is their tightest, and this has breathed new life into the band. "I can tell you this: this is certainly the last line-up of Quo. We're more than happy with it, and if anything goes wrong with this I don't see us carrying on. Me and Francis might carry on in the studio, but at the moment, it's still Quo. There's more life in the band than ever." Will it ever stop? "Sometime it's got to stop. I don't visualise myself at 65 still rocking. I might be doing cabaret again, showbiz, I dunno, I might be a fucking ventriloquist! I'd like to be on the stage for as long as I can; once you've got the theatrical thing in you, it's still all show business." Which could explain why Rick hasn't got bored with Status Quo. It's hard work, he says, but it's not a job – an important distinction for any rock careerist. But what of the last 20 years plus? "When you look back on it, it's a great feeling. It's a shame that it comes in stages, because you don't realise... if you were to take a chunk out of your own career, and see yourself five years later, you'd go wow! But the fact that it happens gradually, step by step, it doesn't really come as a great surprise. It's a bit of a let down, really, when you think about it. So what were the highlights of Rick's career? Live Aid obviously, and playing the Prince's Trust at Birmingham NEC in 1982 (the first rock gig attended by a royal). But also the pleasure of breaking the band abroad. "Like Australia, for instance. You realise how big you are... people waiting at the airport... it really makes you feel good." Success for Rick Parfitt, apart from the obvious tangible benefits like his Mercedes 380SL, is evidently a matter of pride in achievement. He's obviously an accomplished rhythm guitarist (in spite of his self-depreciating jokes about 'the fourth chord'), and he derives a lot of satisfaction from the rapport he shares with his fellow musicians. I asked him for his advice for aspiring followers in his footsteps. Given his experience of the business, his reply is unsurprising. "If you work hard, then something will come of it. If you think you're good, just carry on, and don't let anyone tell you that you aren't." More with this artist

Then in 1972 he became the ‘Whispering’ presenter of TV music show The Old Grey Whistle Test. Now he's celebrating 25 years fronting the BBC’s Country show, as well as turning 78, all while on tour with an event co-hosted by Colin Hall, based on Hall’s book and documentary series The Songs The Beatles Gave Away. The first music I remember hearing That would be my mum and dad’s record collection in the early fifties, pre-rock’n’roll, so Mantovani – a great favourite of mine – Johnny Mathis and Perry Como. We had a radiogram in the corner of the room, and when it was switched on it glowed like a warm fire. My mum listened to the radio all the time. That would be formative in terms of what I’m doing now. The first song I ever broadcast I was sitting in for John Peel on BBC Radio 1 on August 19, 1970. I had a brilliant producer called Jeff Griffin, who said to me: “You bring in the music, I’ll teach you how to build a programme.” I learned so much from him, he was so skilful. Our first choice was Cinnamon Girl by Neil Young, because I just loved it. The greatest album of all time I’ve been so lucky to hear important records arrive in real time. Sgt Pepper was an absolute game changer. There were some experimental groups at the time, such as Pink Floyd or Soft Machine, but what The Beatles and George Martin did with Sgt Pepper was bring every thread of creative energy together to push out the boundaries as far as technology would let them go. Twelve months later, in pop music and the industry, everything was different. The singer Ben E King. He was with The Drifters, a genuinely groundbreaking black band who started as R&B/doo-wop, then were steered into the charts in a very creative way by their label, Atlantic. There Goes My Baby [1959] had an incredible new sound that was a combination of orchestration and atmosphere, all bound together by King’s voice. The guitar hero Jimmy Page. He drove probably the greatest rock band that ever lived. I was fortunate to spend time touring with them in the States, and it was incredible to watch his artistry. The songwriter Country artist Lori McKenna. She’s not a commercial writer, but it just so happens that a lot of her songs have been huge hits. One song of great warmth, which we need so much of these days, is Humble And Kind, a sentiment that sums Lori up. She’s become established as one of the top writers in Nashville. The best live band or live artist I've ever seen That’s easy: Bruce Springsteen. I saw him at his first big showcase at the Roxy in Los Angeles in 1975, where everyone was there – George Harrison, David Bowie and some tennis stars such as Jimmy Connors. Then I saw him in New Haven in 1978, a four-hour show that we recorded for Whistle Test. This was the best show I have ever seen for performance, energy, and the electricity of Springsteen when he was down in the audience. Afterwards he took us to a place nearby and got up on stage with the band and jammed until two a.m.! My guilty pleasure I love this record, it’s absolutely gorgeous – Move Over Darling by Doris Day. It’s in no way a comment on my private life [laughs]. My most underrated act There’s a lovely country artist from Northern Ireland called Catherine McGrath. She put a wonderful album out, Talk Of This Town, in 2018, which got to Number One in the Country chart. The best record I've appeared on David Bowie’s Memories Of A Free Festival [1969]. It wasn’t all hash and incense, though [laughs]. It was done in the early evening in Trident studio in London. I was there with my first wife, Sue, Marc Bolan and his first wife June, and David and Tony Visconti. We were sat on the floor singing: ‘The sun machine is coming down, and we’re gonna have a party’. It was a lot of fun to do, and to hear back. My Saturday night party record Anything by Blackberry Smoke. I love them. They’re the Status Quo of country! The song that makes me cry I’ll pick something where the beauty of it makes me cry, not because it’s sad: Lukas Nelson & The Promise Of The Real, Just Outside Of Austin. It’s an appreciation of love and nature, and it has a connection, for me, with someone I care about. It became our song. The song I want played at my funeral Ben E King again, and Stand By Me. It’s a song about getting through things, we’re all in this together. I’m an ambassador for Help Musicians, and during the pandemic, artists such as Roseanne Cash, Peter Frampton, Rick Wakeman and more became the Whispering Bob All-Stars, recording this as a fundraising track. It’s still raising money for musicians now.

for his The explainer below is good at saying why artists would want to sell, reckon its less convincing why such vast sums are being paid Given the terrible money from streaming, I'm struggling to see how this buyer will get half a billion back from Springsteen royalties and merch etc I wonder what Quo would sell for? I don't think it would take very much for them to be hugely tempted. Unless I'm missing something, I'd sell while there's still buyers out there offering boggling sums "Why Superstar Artists Are Selling Their Music Rights: An Explainer – Rolling Stone" www.rollingstone.com/pro/features/famous-musicians-selling-catalog-music-rights-1114580/amp/ Post by roquer on I might be wrong, but I remember in an interview Francis said that they don't receive any money from the old catalogue since the last 90s from a deal that David Walker did. But it might be wrong, because an interview from days ago, said he did at least well since the lockdown because of the royalties. Post by mortified on I don't really see a huge company like, say, Sony wanting Quo's back catalogue. It seems to me it's only been artists who have sold in vast quantities worldwide and more especially in America. Quo's market is considerably smaller. It also appears to have been mainly individual artists, some of whom are in bands (Stevie Nicks, Lindsay Buckingham etc.) so I imagine anyone would only want their hands on Francis Rossi's material with Rick and Alan gone, although they'd have to get teasers out to Rhino and Andy in particular if they wanted to repackage/reissue anything after 1986. Not that I know how it works. I'm just surmising. It's presumably a very long-term project by music companies. Recouping these sorts of sums quickly doesn't seem likely. And, as already hinted at, it depends who owns the publishing rights as things stand at the moment. It may not be any of the band for all I know. Post by mortified on The thing about Quo's stuff is, the numerous compilations have probably sold pretty well and it's the hits anyone would be interested in. If anything that is. It's interesting but that article linked at the start of this thread cited quite a few artists that I've only really heard of in terms of their name (Timbaland, Nelly, 50 Cent, Skrillex e.g.). I remember a collaboration between Skrillex and Korn but that's about it and I have a 50 Cent single called P.I.M.P. So I'm presuming we're talking largely rap here although the Korn thing was a homage to dubstep (remember that? ). The point I'm making is that it may be very surprising who is able to sell their music publishing rights. I wouldn't discount Quo entirely. Post by col on Do Quo actually own their recordings? I suspect everything from the sixties, seventies and eighties (and probably half the nineties) belongs to the record companies, which is probably Universal all the way. If that's true, Quo ain't really got anything to sell, only UTI and everything from TPAOY album onward. There may have been some licensing from Acklode but that would only get back to the Don't Stop album (see what I did there). Post by Quoincidence on Do Quo actually own their recordings? I suspect everything from the sixties, seventies and eighties (and probably half the nineties) belongs to the record companies, which is probably Universal all the way. If that's true, Quo ain't really got anything to sell, only UTI and everything from TPAOY album onward. There may have been some licensing from Acklode but that would only get back to the Don't Stop album (see what I did there). BMG own all of the PYE material, Universal own the majority of the 70s up until the mid 2000s material. I'll have to check what Quo own, as I do have a spreadsheet. As far as I know, Porter wants Quo to own all of the material. Whether he is actually buying it back bit-by-bit I've not a clue. D Walker was stupid to sell the catalogue in the 90s when he did, but he was all about the money. Quo probably were given the opportunity by Phonogram to own it all, which would explain why Rossi had various archival bits in his home studio. Post by MrWaistcoat on Who apart from us would be interested whilst a band called Starus Quo continue to make records ? That boat sailed an age ago......sadly. Last chance saloon was 2014. Like I've put here on Spotify alone, Quo had 13.5 million listens in 2021. Demand is there, agreed not for new music I think Francis is going to be hugely interested if they can sell some or all of the back catalogue, they certainly aren't making good money from downloads / streams Was astonished on youtube to see that a performance of Army from about 4 years had over 20 million views !!

Opinion columnist David Brooks, in The New York Times article “America Should Be in the Middle of a Schools Revolution,” notes that teachers and students are grappling with altered realities that may persist for years. To address these challenges and engage disenchanted students and parents, a viable solution exists: flex-based schools. These schools, also called hybrid schools, or in California, non-classroom-based schools, empower families and students to play a more active role in their education while providing personalized support and acceleration. Flex schools offer a dynamic schedule that adapts to each student’s evolving needs, promoting engagement and success. Springs Charter Schools’ flex-based programs in 17 physical sites in Southern California, including two in San Diego County, have been serving the region for more than 20 years, and we have been listed as one of a select few charter school networks that have made gains toward closing the achievement gap for students in typically underperforming groups. We are making a positive impact on students’ lives and providing valuable choices in education. What does this look like in practice? A high school student might take classes on campus three days per week and work at an internship two days per week while earning credit for that internship. A younger child might attend class four days per week and work on personalized assignments to accelerate her progress with her parents on the fifth day. And there are many more scenarios. Unfortunately, despite the widespread availability of technology and the changing landscape of education, the return to the traditional classroom model remains the norm for most public schools. California continues to make it difficult for public charter schools to operate flexible schools like ours — case in point, the current moratorium on opening new non-classroom-based charter schools, even though the existing schools are popular and successful. This moratorium indicates the disinterest many in the traditional system have for new ideas. The old guard would prefer we would just go away, but our students and parents keep us going. Here are five compelling reasons why flex-based schools should become the new standard in American education: 1. Personalized learning paths: Flex schools prioritize individualized education. Unlike traditional schools, where all students receive the same assignments and are given the same amount of time to do them, flex students can customize their learning pace. Maybe the student needs 10 hours a week for math, but only three for history. Electronic tracking tools ensure students receive the necessary support, and teachers can monitor progress in real time at the touch of a button. 2. Students pursue their passions: Flex-based schools allow students to explore their interests while staying on track academically. They can engage in community groups, sports and extracurricular activities without rigid time constraints. The freedom to choose fosters motivation and engagement across all age groups. 3. Students are empowered: Flex students learn essential skills such as self-directed learning and time management because they have the autonomy to manage their schedules. Flex kids learn to manage time because they actually have time to manage. This empowerment extends beyond their compulsory schooling, preparing them for lifelong success. 4. Flex students learn to be kinder and more inclusive: Flex schools reduce the social pressures often associated with traditional education. Students have choices regarding when and where they attend class, and smaller virtual groups create a supportive learning environment. For students with learning differences, flex-based schools provide essential flexibility. 5. Real-world learning: Flex-based schools emphasize real-world applications. Students work with community experts, undertake internships, attend community college classes and initiate community projects during school hours. This practical approach enhances their education and prepares them for life beyond school Flex schools are truly the model of the future. They offer a balanced approach, combining personalization, flexibility and accountability, ultimately fostering student success and happiness. America’s education system must evolve to meet the needs of today’s learners and provide them with the tools to chase their dreams during school hours, rather than waiting for the end of the school day for “real” learning to occur.

Leaving aside the multitude of compilations and live records that flood the market, Status Quo have some 33 official studio albums to their name, the most recent being 2019's surprisingly well-received Backbone. But if you’re looking to buy into the Quo back catalogue or expand your Quo collection, tread warily. Because while the band hit an enviable run of form with a succession of near-flawless albums they released between 1970 (Ma Kelly’s Greasy Spoon) and, for the sake of argument, 1981 (purists consider Never Too Late to be the last ‘real’ Quo album), some of the material they churned out after a post-Live Aid reunion is woeful. After bassist Alan Lancaster and drummer John Coghlan had jumped ship in the mid-80s, guitarist/vocalist Francis Rossi had little opposition within the band when it came to dabbling with more middle-of-the-road-flavoured material like In The Army Now, The Anniversary Waltz and Burning Bridges (songs that Lancaster would rather have chewed off his own arm than perform). Certainly guitarist/singer Rick Parfitt seemed content to go along for the ride. The version of Fun Fun Fun that Status Quo recorded with The Beach Boys in 1996 might have been little short of a travesty, but it sounded like a work of genius compared to the same year’s cover of Steeleye Span’s jaunty folk-shuffle hit All Around My Hat, recreated in the company of Span singer Maddy Prior. Fortunately, the renewal of Rossi’s writing partnership with former road manager/ harmonica player Bob Young helped to refocus Quo’s creative energy, and Under The Influence (1999) was hailed as their best album in years. Heavy Traffic, in 2002, was better still, although with hopes of long-term Quo fans coming to the boil, the band bottled it with the aforementioned The Party Ain’t Over Yet, and the reformed "Frantic Four" (featuring the classic Rossi/Parfitt/Lancaster/Coghlan lineup), whose reunion tour in 2013 was such a huge success, never entered the studio. Sadly, with Parfitt and Lancaster now gone, they never will. Here, then, are the Status Quo albums that many of us wore out tennis rackets to, throwing shapes in the privacy of our bedrooms; the ones that the band made before your gran became a fan as well. ...and one to avoid

This collection features songs from the pre-Quo days, as the first iterations of the bands that developed into Status Quo found their feet – and their sound – as well the first two Status Quo albums. CD 1 starts with remastered mono versions of Quo’s first two albums, Picturesque Matchstickable Messages from the Status Quo and Spare Parts, from 1968 and 1969 respectively, remastered in both mono, while the second disc offers the same selection in remastered stereo. CD 3 is dubbed ‘Before Quo’ and boasts recordings from The Spectres, who then became Traffic Jam, including A-sides, B-sides and BBC sessions. The fourth disc delivers a generous selection of A-Sides, B-Sides, demos and outtakes before the fifth and final disc completes the story of this era with 18 further tracks from various BBC radio sessions. The discs are presented in a clamshell box and come with a 40-page booklet with extensive sleevenotes and loads of images of memorabilia from this era, drawn from the band’s own archive. The Early Years (1966-1969) will be released on 15 March 2024 via BMG.

Review by Jasper Rees		https://theartsdesk.com/sites/default/files/favicon.ico		https://theartsdesk.com/new-music/cd-status-quo-quid-pro-quo	CD: Status Quo - Quid Pro Quo The archaeological evidence suggests that organic life was here once 'Quid Pro Quo': Status Quo are now recording in Latin. Not much else has changed After 29 studio albums, eight compilations, four live albums, amounting to a total of 41 at pretty much one for every year of their existence, the denimosaurus we know as Status Quo has issued a release the title of which is entirely, and for the first time ever, in Latin. Unless you count Quo (1974). Quid Pro Quo, one very much suspects, does not translate in Rossi-Parfitt speak as “this for that”. Indeed “quid” looks to be a reference to lucre, which the Quo have been raking in for what feels like centuries on an unvarying diet of three- and, when they can get away with it, two-chord stonewashed boogie.

Common Pleas sought to block House Bill 68 from going into effect on schedule, and at

ban on gender transition treatment for minors. The decision means House Bill 68, which also includes a ban on trans athletes in girls' and women's sports, is now in effect. But the decision is being immediately appealed. The decision comes from a lawsuit filed in March in the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas, which sought to block HB 68 from going into effect on schedule, and at all. It was filed on behalf of two 12-year-old transgender girls and their families, one from Hamilton County and one from Franklin County. Their families and the American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio argued they would lose “critical, medically necessary health care” under HB 68. Judge Michael Holbrook, who stopped the law from taking effect until after his decision, wrote that HB 68 doesn't violate Ohio's single subject rule for legislation, and that it doesn't violate the state's "health care freedom" constitutional amendment. He also wrote that it doesn't violate either the Equal Protection Clause or the Due Course of Law Clause. In defending the law, the state in part argued that transition treatment is too risky for anyone under 18 to undergo, and HB 68 protects them from potential harm. Republican Attorney General Dave Yost also said Holbrook went too far in halting the law before it took effect. A spokesperson for Yost said in a statement: "The Attorney General applauds the trial court’s decision. This case has always been about the legislature’s authority to enact a law to protect our children from making irreversible medical and surgical decisions about their bodies. The law doesn’t say 'no' forever; it simply says 'not now’ while the child is still growing." ACLU of Ohio legal director Freda Levenson said in a statement: "While this decision by the court is a genuine setback, it is not the end of the road in our fight to secure the constitutional rights of transgender youth, as well as all Ohioans’ right to bodily autonomy. We are appealing immediately.” Levenson confirms the law is now in effect, and that the appeal is being filed with the Tenth District Court of Appeals. The next step would be the Ohio Supreme Court. Gov. Mike DeWine vetoed HB 68 late last year, but almost all GOP lawmakers voted during sessions of the Ohio House and Senate to override that veto in January. The case against HB 68 was litigated for five days in a Franklin County courtroom. It included testimony from parents of the two plaintiffs and an out-of-state parent on the other side of the issue, physicians and activists. Major American medical associations back puberty blockers and other treatments for trans youth, the ACLU has said, which is why it wants physicians to continue prescribing care for patients under the current status quo. Holbrook's ruling is likely to face an appeals process that could make it all the way to the Ohio Supreme Court.

There can't be many acts who've released as many albums as Status Quo. I recently had the privilege of working on their 33rd studio album, Backbone. Shortly before embarking on the project, I'd taken over the reins in the Quo camp from Grammy award-winning engineer Gregg Jackman, and as I'd already worked on the Francis Rossi & Hannah Rickard release 'We Talk Too Much' I had some experience of working with Rossi. But Backbone was to be forged in very different circumstances to previous Quo albums. This would be the first record of original material to be released since long-time guitarist Rick Parfitt passed away in late 2016, and the first album to feature the newest band members, Leon Cave and Richie Malone. It was also the first Quo album that Rossi decided he'd produce solely by himself since 1991's Rock 'til You Drop, and from the outset he was determined to make it very differently from the Quo albums of the '90s and '00s. He wanted to make it on his own terms, rather than deliver something the band felt expected or obliged to — so when I say it was a privilege to be involved in this project, it's not just about the excitement of working with a big name; it was also a genuinely original, interesting and engaging project. In this article, I'll take you through how we approached the Backbone sessions, explaining some of the decisions we made and techniques that we used along the way, and hopefully I'll be able to cover a few things that might be of benefit to your own productions. Building On The Demos We recorded, mixed and mastered the entire project at Rossi's home studio. It's obviously a little grander than what most SOS readers would think of as a 'home studio' — it comprises a live room, a green room, a vocal booth and a comfortable control room, with a Harrison 48:32 console at its heart — but it offered us a similar balance of pros and cons. The band would, of course, be able to record the final album in the studio, but they'd also have the luxury of time to work on developing the songwriting and making demos there too. Over the years the studio has made the move from recording on ADAT machines to a Mackie HDR 24-track hard-disk recorder and then, eventually (on Jackman's arrival), to a computer-based setup based on Logic Pro X. I'm actually a dyed-in-the-wool Pro Tools user, but it was important that I use the in-house system for this production — thankfully though, I've used Logic many times over the years, which meant the switch to Logic wasn't too daunting. The band started the demo sessions around February 2018 with a view to recording the album in the Autumn. We kept everything that Rossi and long-term collaborators Andrew Bown, John 'Rhino' Edwards and Bob Young sketched out during songwriting sessions, and we also imported drafts from band members who'd recorded things remotely, on various systems: Boss hardware recorders, Logic sessions, and even some voice memos. This material formed the core of the album and was kept for reference in the working project right up until the final mix — in fact, a few of the 'demo' parts we'd recorded even made it onto the finished record. The idea of retaining the demo material throughout was that we could make sure we never lost sight of the energy in those original ideas — and I think it's fair to say this approach worked well. One upshot of working with the demo material in these sessions in this way was that the drums were not the first thing we laid down, as they typically are in rock productions. Instead, we built the album recordings around the guides we'd created during the writing sessions, starting each song off by recording guide guitars from each writing partnership, and a guide vocal from Rossi. Whether working on demos or the final product, I'm a firm believer in using studio time with the artist for recording; the engineer/producer should always be focused on capturing the energy of the performances, and things like editing, processing and comping can be done later at your own leisure. Rossi has a similar philosophy. Thankfully, it was also apparent from an early stage that Backbone was not going to be a project that would leave us with take upon take of material to sift through later— recording really was a case of getting down just one or two takes (three at most) that could be tidied up to appear as the final 'take' on the record. Vocals Although I've just called them 'guide' vocals (since that was the intention), we rarely needed to redo any of these initial lead vocal parts, other than to drop in a word or two to accommodate the occasional lyrical tweak. At some stage, the lead vocal would be double tracked, to achieve the definitive Status Quo vocal sound — sometimes immediately after the initial take, sometimes after everything else had been laid down. Incidentally, it's fascinating to see just how exacting an artist is about their double tracking when they've spent a lifetime doing it! I often reach for Synchro Arts' Vocalign or Revoice Pro when dealing with multiple vocal tracks, but great as those tools are, for this album I happily left them unused on the lead parts. We used an AKG C414 and a Neumann U87 set up in tandem, each running through a dbx 160 VCA compressor. On many 'classic' Quo records the vocals were tracked and double-tracked with a C414, a setup that persisted until Jackman encouraged Rossi to adopt the U87 in the '90s. Eager to see if the mic choice could help recreate a vintage sound, we kept both channels running for most of the early vocal takes, allowing us to compare the results later. As it turned out, the C414 wasn't as impressive as we'd anticipated — it sounded somewhat brighter, but it didn't really lend itself to this vocal. The U87 wasn't entirely what we wanted straight off the bat either — it offered something the C414 didn't, yet still seemed sort of 'muted'. To arrive at the desired sound, we EQ'ed the U87 to emulate the frequency response of the C414, which yielded a nice, full-bodied tone, with neutral mids and airy highs. A theme of huge 'block vocals' developed very early on into the recording process, and this became part of the signature sound for the album. It was a case of quadruple-tracking a background part and then adding a fifth and an octave above that (again, quad tracked). These had to be super tight — unnatural even — to achieve the desired effect, so I made liberal use of Revoice Pro for this. (Prime examples of this sound can be heard on the tracks 'See You're In Some Trouble', 'Backing Off' and 'Falling Off The World'.) Electric Guitars The move away from the wall-of-guitars sound of some recent Quo records was deliberate. The idea was to get the sound to 'breathe' more, and so our approach involved capturing sounds with considerably less harmonic distortion, and again choosing not to track take upon take of the same part. Many of the songs were constructed around riffs, but there's a signature sound to Quo which involves a guitar figure movement from playing a fifth and then a sixth and then back again — otherwise known as 'the finger'. It forms the rhythmic basis of the songs, so we chose to get these down at an early stage — other figures and parts could then be developed around them. Rossi is an exceptional blues guitar player and rather than recording rehearsed ideas for the solos on this album, he preferred to jam them out to see what felt right. As with the vocals, it was a case of two to three takes before discussing whether he'd nailed the part and if it served the song. As a guitar player myself, I had to make a concerted effort to think as an engineer/producer, more in terms of the record and how the phrasing, articulation and tone of the solos sat in the song than I usually would as a player. Sometimes we'd fine-tune the parts (not as easy as you'd expect when it's all improvised like this!) or comp the solo out of the two or three takes we had on file. We quickly got into a system of a three-channel recording setup for Rossi's parts, with a DI signal feeding a tailored AC30 emulation in Logic, and a dual-miked 60W Marshall JCM900 combo set up in the live room. A Shure SM57 was placed dead centre on one of the cones, and a Neumann KM183 omni small-diaphragm capacitor model placed six feet from the amp at head height, to give us a more neutral reading of the room — the omni pattern doesn't seem to exaggerate room modes as much cardioid mics tend to. The height was simply set to reflect what the listener would hear if stood in the room. For the most part Rossi used his custom Status guitar. This is a solid alder body model, fitted with Hot Rail pickups and a bolt–on graphite neck, and featuring a variety of tonal controls. I confess that I had my doubts to begin with — but I'd soon find myself pleasantly surprised by this instrument's versatility. Depending on the material, I often like to use some form of physical noise control, such a Gruv FretWrap (string damper) when recording guitars, and something like this is essential when dealing with carbon-fibre models, which always seem to exaggerate sympathetic resonances.

At a Status Quo concert, ‘Paper Plane’ isn’t just a song, it’s a launchpad. The lights pulse, the crowd roars, and with the first riff, everyone takes flight. This version captures that raw energy, taken from the upcoming ‘Official Archive Series Vol. 3 – Live At Westonbirt Arboretum’, which is available now on all digital platforms, along with a lyric video. Francis Rossi belts out the chorus, and a wave of pure joy washes over the venue. Strangers transform into a singing, swaying mass, united by the soaring spirit of the track. Live music magic! The ‘Official Archive Series’ offers exceptional sound quality and great packaging throughout, featuring photography by Christie Goodwin. The Series has been freshly mixed and mastered by Eike Freese and Laurin Halberstadt at Chameleon Studios Hamburg. ‘Vol. 3 – Live At Westonbirt Arboretum’ was recorded on Sunday 22 June 2008 as part of the ‘In Search Of The Fourth Chord’ UK tour. This was the tenth show of the year, and was part of the ‘Forest Live’ initiative by the Forestry Commission, and in fact, was a return to the venue for the band who had performed a short run of ‘Forest Live’ shows as part of the ‘Heavy Traffic’ tour of 2003. ‘Vol. 3 – Live At Westonbirt Arboretum’ is a further release from the Status Quo ‘Official Archive Series’ presenting the raw energy and infectious enthusiasm of a Status Quo live performance; no matter where in the world. With their trademark sound, powerful guitar riffs, and irresistible hooks, the band delivers an unadulterated rock ’n’ roll experience, and this collectible series is a great way to celebrate one of the greatest live acts of all time.

The group consisted of Francis Rossi, Rick Parfitt, Alan Lancaster, and John Coghlan in the original lineup. They became known for their unique blend of boogie rock and catchy pop hooks that resulted in a string of hit singles and albums throughout the 1970s and 1980s. They began as a rock and roll freakbeat band called the Spectres. By 1967, with very little commercial success, they discovered psychedelia and changed their name to Traffic (later Traffic Jam, to avoid confusion with Steve Winwood's Traffic.) At this time the line-up also included organist Roy Lynes and drummer John Coghlan. Late in 1967 they recruited second guitarist Rick Parfitt and became The Status Quo, scoring Top 10 singles with Pictures Of Matchstick Men and Ice in The Sun.Â One of the defining characteristics of Status Quo's music was their use of the electric guitar, which was heavily distorted to produce a raw, powerful sound. Their early hits such as "Pictures of Matchstick Men" and "Ice in the Sun" showcased this distinctive sound and helped establish the band as a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. However, it was during the 1970s that Status Quo truly cemented their place in rock music history. They released a series of albums that became iconic, including "Piledriver," "Hello!," and "Quo." These albums contained classic tracks such as "Caroline," "Down Down," and "Rockin' All Over the World," which remain popular to this day. One of the hallmarks of Status Quo's music was their ability to blend traditional blues and rock elements with pop sensibilities. This resulted in songs that were both catchy and musically complex, featuring intricate guitar solos and driving rhythms. Their live shows were equally impressive, with the band renowned for their high-energy performances and elaborate stage setups. However, Status Quo was not without their controversies. They were often criticized for their perceived lack of musical innovation, with some accusing them of simply churning out the same formulaic rock songs over and over again. Others accused them of selling out to commercial interests, as their music became increasingly polished and radio-friendly over the years. Despite these criticisms, Status Quo remained one of the most popular and enduring bands in British rock music history. They continued to release albums and tour well into the 21st century, with Rossi and Parfitt remaining at the core of the band until Parfitt's death in 2016. Their influence can be heard in the music of countless other bands and artists, and their legacy as one of the greatest rock bands of all time remains secure.

Anyway, what I came on here to talk about is the above album- Hello by Status Quo. Released on the 28th September 1973, it recently celebrated its 50th anniversary, and as far as I’m aware , it received very little coverage apart from a cover piece in Classic Rock magazine. In my humble opinion it is Status Quo’s greatest album, and one that had a massive impact on me the first time I heard it. You could say it changed my life. I was 12 years old in 1973 and already obsessed with music. I already owned three Beatles albums, Sgt Pepper and the recently released Blue and Red compilations, and I’d been buying singles for over a year, and was well into Glam Rock, Slade, 10cc etc. I was mainly into singles, while my brother four years older was into albums, especially the heavier variety, Led Zep, Sabbath, Floyd etc , which didn’t interest me at all at that age( they would years later). One evening towards the end of the year, he asked me to listen to a song from a new album he’d bought. I said ok, but I don’t like you’re stuff. He said try it, and I did. The song was Caroline and I was blown away. I played the whole album, couldn’t believe what I was hearing, and apart from my Beatles albums, it is probably the most played album in my life. It is joyous, 39 minutes of pure pop, rock and roll, glorious riffs and great musicianship from Francis, Rick and Alan, all just 24 years old, whist John was a bit older at 27. Let’s look at why I think this is such a classic album. Side One Track 1: Roll Over Lay Down- What an opener, a stone cold classic it hits you like a runaway train. The build up to the ending is superb and so powerful. Track 2: Claudie- A wonderful song, that could almost be a country song. The song I used to play along to with my cheap plastic guitar in front of my bedroom mirror. Track 3: A Reason For Living- The first Rick vocal, it always felt religious to me talking about owning up to my Maker and saying prayers. A great song though. Track4: Blue Eyed Lady- What a classic riff to open a song with. A powerful song, the first of two Lancaster/Parfitt numbers. Side Two Track 1: Caroline- Listen to it as if for the first time. Nothing more to say! Track 2: Softer Ride-” I ain’t gonna work, I ain’t gonna work no more.” What a lovely sentiment, and another great record. Don’t be fooled by the quiet opening. Track 3: And It’s Better Now- “Got to have something to sing about, everyone must have a song”. I love this song. The guitar and bass middle bit is just wonderful. Track 4: Forty Five Hundred Times- Quo’s Magnum Opus? Most Quo fans think so, but I’m not sure. Their longest record at just under 10 minutes, it is certainly a classic. The first time I heard it live at Cardiff Castle in July 1976 will stay with me forever. There is a great version on the 1977 Live album at nearly 17 minutes long. So there we have it . A classic album by a band that took over my life for the next 6-7 years. My interest was already waning by the late 70s, but when John Coghlan left in 1981that was it. I had no interest when the band reformed in 1986(did anyone), but I still continue to play those 70s albums to this day. So do yourself a favour. Put Hello on, crank up the volume, and enjoy 39 minutes of pure joyous music. You won’t regret it. Ps. Could someone post a couple of videos for me for Roll Over Lay Down, and Caroline. Cheers Alan

One to marinate in my mind, get my teeth into and really have sink in and digest for a variety of reasons. An album that Francis wasn't sure he even wanted to originally make, let alone release onto the public after he had lost his cohort, Rick Parfitt over the last few years and wasn't sure if he had it in him to do one with the band without him there – totally understandable. The record company either talked him round or he talked himself round and this is the result of all the work from the dare I say Post-Parfitt line of Status Quo with new boy, Richie Malone on Rhythm Guitar as well as the first to feature Leon Cave on Drums playing brand new songs too. It starts up with the ploddy but humourous 'Waiting For A Woman' with it's laid back, bluesy softly sounding played licks from Francis which may seem an odd opener for the 1st album in yonks as you'd expect it to go off with a bang immediately. Fear not because the next two tracks really set the gas alight with the Quo sound that we are more used to with the powerful 'Cut Me Some Slack' and 'Liberty Lane'. In my view, they are two of the main highlights of the album with harder-edged riffs and pounding 'n' building rhythms that you can really get your rocks off to! Rock 'N' Roll! Massive credit to Francis Rossi and John 'Rhino Edwards for those. Other tracks are a bit light-weight or whimsical in comparison which may sound bad but kinda true but it doesn't mean they are bad songs but not exactly top-dollar high-ranking Quo standard if that makes any sense like 'I Wanna Run Away With You' which is very much album filler or 'I See You're In Some Trouble' with it's spin around of a famous Clash song title in the songs lyrics. 'Backbone' is nice single-along but not sure about those woo-woos in their as I do find it a bit too cringe-worthy – I do like the 'different strokes for different folks' line a lot though. There's a cool quirk to be found like the click noise in 'Backing Off' that was maybe a mistake but left in as it's one of those things sounds like it was meant to be and works when it shouldn't. Dare I say 'Better Take Care' comes across as a complete rip-off of Lynyrd Skynyrd's 'Sweet Home Alabama' in the chorus of that makes me think 'Why?'. It's would be a better song had John David (the writer) not blatantly stole that famous 'Southern Rock' melody. Another major standout of the album is Richie's 'Get Out Of My Head' that has that strong Parfitt/Lancaster in-your-face hard-hitting like ballsiness to it that I associate with earlier 80's Quo like 'Over The Edge' or 'No Contact' was – a real kick it up a notch and prove that the new blood in the band is definitely a positive thing from a writing and vocal perspective. He's got a brilliant voice and well and truly a vital asset to the outfit and a real saving grace for the band. 'Falling Of The World' is a piece of class and ticks boxes of clever lyrics and outstanding counter-melodies that really make the song work really well – big kudos to Mr. Cave for this gem! 'Running Out Of Time' has that light-hearted Quo-goes slightly countriness to it and a decent enough song. We get what could be the cousin of 'Burning Bridges' in 'Crazy Crazy' (the first bonus track) that is pure Irish Jig and I think could work played back to back live in concert with 'Face The Music' (second bonus track) being a decent unofficial closer on the album with that 'Baba O' Riley' like organ riff from Andy Bown finishing off the proceedings. It was a decent enough effort as a new studio/comeback album and I am hoping the next one will be even better with more songs on the level of 'Cut Me Some Slack'; 'Liberty Lane' and Get Out Of My Head' but that's just my own personal opinion. Those Telecasters could do with being higher up in the mix at times so those guitar dynamics are way more at the forefront. Looking forward to seeing what songs will appear in the live set on the forthcoming Backbone tour as an addition to what was performed live last year in 2019 from it.

Now they're best known in Australia for giant red hands and a modern reimagining of their biggest hit, Down Down, as a supermarket slogan. "They were using Down Down for some few years," Status Quo singer and guitarist Francis Rossi says when asked about the band's deal with Coles. "And our manager got a meeting with the people at Coles to discuss an Australian tour sponsorship, and the idea came back, 'Well, perhaps would they do an ad?' "And it was so successful for them that suddenly it was, 'Oh you Status Quo boys, you're marvellous!'" he says, laughing. "It's been a great relationship. We're doing a couple more [ads] with them tomorrow." This is what survival looks like for stars of the 60s who failed to die before they got old. What once was sneeringly dismissed as "selling out" now appears to be shrewd monetisation of existing assets. What should establishment-threatening rock'n'roll rebels do when they become the establishment: compete with younger, cooler versions of themselves, or accept their best days are behind them and take a solid pay cheque churning out the back catalogue on the nostalgia circuit? Rossi made that decision long ago: cool doesn't send his kids to university. "We are our back catalogue." Emerging as a psychedelic rock band in 1967 the band originally called themselves the Status Quo, but had before long dropped the definite article along with the beads and flowers, and reinvented themselves as a straight-ahead, good-time, boogie rock outfit. It made them one of the biggest selling bands of the decade with hits such as Whatever You Want, Rockin' All over the World and the No 1 Down Down. The band briefly disbanded in the early 80s, but have been busy ever since – touring, making albums and now, with Bula Quo!, entering the world of film. And while the film's soundtrack forms the new Quo album, it's telling that it comes with a bonus disc of re-recordings of their best-known songs. The way Rossi tells it, the biggest motivation for the band these days is simple: fear. "We grew up in the postwar world of England, which was heavily depressed and we were trying to escape it," he says. "This is a person who didn't get much of an education to make it in this capitalist world; success is what makes the man. And it's kind of sad, but I feel that if I fail with Status Quo, then I'm a failure." And that is why Rossi sees nothing wrong with playing the old songs night after night. "Lots of acts that have been around a long time have a problem with their catalogue, like they're ashamed of it, and it's so much of a smack in the face for a fan. "I've always been a keen Everly Brothers fan, or an Eagles fan or Fleetwood Mac, or Muse, or the Killers – and if I go and see those acts and they don't do the tracks I know them for, who the hell are they?" But doesn't that get … well, boring? Being known around the world for the singles is a problem that lots of people would like to have, Rossi says."So maybe 85% of the set is for what we call the floating punter: he knows the hits and he's happy hearing that. But the hardcore fans, they want to hear the album tracks and the strange B-sides, and whenever we've done that you see these massive question marks over the heads of most of the people in the hall, going, 'What the hell? Who's this?' " It's OK to appease that muso inside who wants to do something different – but the truth is that the big hits are who Status Quo are, Rossi says. "When you play Rockin' All over the World and it lights the place up, it's fantastic. And luckily it happens every night – which is I suppose why those songs were hits in the first place. "And yes, when you rehearse them on a film stage in London at 10 o'clock on a Monday morning, oh my god, it's just … " he trails off. "But doing them where they're supposed to be, in front of people, is always a joy." There are no concerns about the song being sullied as a jingle, he says. "It's one of those things that when you're younger you'd think, 'There's no way I'd do things like that!' " In the same way young people are determined not to become like their parents, and then find age catches up with them, so things can change. "That 25-year-old angry young man, so adamant about what he was going to be and not going to be, and I'm now one of those short-haired old guys with male pattern baldness. "Millions of blokes look like that, so what happened to me being unique?," Rossi says, chuckling. So what would he say to that 25-year-old self? Rossi laughs again. " 'Don't be a dickhead.' "

the boundary-pushing duo composed of ISOxo and Knock2 - have just released their surprise debut album, '4EVR.'	en	https://themusicessentia…logo-300x300.png	T.H.E - Music Essentials	https://themusicessentials.com/music/isoknock-4evr/	ISOKNOCK – the boundary-pushing duo composed of ISOxo and Knock2 – have just released their surprise debut album, ‘4EVR’, an unexpected drop that exemplifies the pair’s fervent drive to redefine the next decade of dance music. ‘4EVR’ is an eight-track masterclass on radical, runaway imagination. The album sees ISOKNOCK flip electronic convention on its head, filtering thrashing trap beats, experimental production, and vintage dance-pop through a punk rock lens – a genre-defying approach that leads to a bracingly-original body of work. ‘4EVR’ is an album for the current moment, using potent maximalism to speak to the disaffected youth. ISOKNOCK are asking their audience to embrace life’s pains and wear their hearts on their sleeves – a vivid sense of empowerment transmuted by the duo’s grungy, moshpit-inducing production. In a scene often muddled by aimless positivity, ISOKNOCK are disrupting the status quo of mainstream dance music through rare subversive expression. Alongside the release of ‘4EVR’, ISOKNOCK have unveiled a special short film and music video for the album’s title track, both co-directed by Mitchell Mullins and Zach Okami. Exploring a mysterious relationship between a biker and a young woman falling in love at an underground party, the short film premiered at a gallery exhibit and album release event at Los Angeles’ LOT 613 on Wednesday, July 31. The gallery exhibit traced the parallel timelines of ISOxo and Knock2’s rise from their humble beginnings, and was capped off by a surprise ISOKNOCK performance of the new LP. The event was a fitting celebration for the rapturous album, capping years of unceasing momentum for the joint collaborative project – a duration that’s seen the long-time friends conquer the electronic music world. The San Diego-natives first met at the San Diego County Fair as young teenagers (while performing at the same local stage), forming an immediate bond defined by a shared desire to shake-up the foundations of dance music – a passion that informed their parallel trajectories leading into this momentous debut LP. As the two artists ascended as individuals – playing packed-out renegade shows, performing at major international music festivals, and collaborating with icons such as Skrillex and RL Grime – they’ve also evolved across multiple iterations of ISOKNOCK. Stemming from humble beginnings as a b2b SoundCloud guest mix back in 2019, the pair have recently culminated with four consecutive sold out shows at the Shrine Auditorium last fall, their packed-out, primetime Sahara Tent performance at this year’s Coachella, as well as two sold out sets at Seattle’s WAMU Theater and Brooklyn’s Under The K Bridge in May. The gallery exhibit traced the parallel timelines of ISOxo and Knock2’s rise from their humble beginnings, and was capped off by a surprise ISOKNOCK performance of the new LP. Now, with their ‘4EVR’ album, ISOKNOCK share a full-length project that showcases their inextricable creative sensibilities. Reflecting the duo’s rockstar attitude, ‘4EVR’ translates ISOKNOCK’s dramatic visual flair and reputation for extravagant live musical set pieces into a raucous album listening experience. As a result, the duo circumvent expectations of what an electronic act is supposed to look and sound like, all while solidifying themselves as an iconoclastic model for a new generation of electronic music fans. ‘4EVR’ releases via renowned label/collective 88rising – the revolutionary imprint that has paved new ground for AAPI artists, making it the perfect home for these dance music disruptors. Listeners unwittingly got their first taste of ‘4EVR’ with the surprise LP’s spontaneous single, “SMACK TALK” – a collaboration with trap pioneer RL Grime. The track follows RL Grime’s years of organic synergism alongside ISOKNOCK, including his electric b2b set with Knock2 at this year’s Ultra Music Festival (which also featured an impromptu appearance from ISOxo). Recontextualizing the classic festival trap sound, “SMACK TALK” represents a passing of the torch: a symbolic undertaking that sees ISOKNOCK taking RL Grime’s pioneering formula and revolutionizing it for a new age. ISOKNOCK’s genre deconstruction continues on the title track “4EVR,” which features sigilcore vocalist cade clair. Kicking off with futuristic synth melodies before introducing cathartic dance-pop bass stabs and infectious emo vocal crooning from cade clair, “4EVR” builds with Jersey Club drum rhythms and panoramic trance synth chord progressions. The track then drops into a thumping, Eurodance-inspired instrumental before transitioning into a rage-inspired trap beat and closing out with an epic, cinematic synth lead – concluding a song that twists a host of modern and vintage aesthetic tropes into a decidedly fresh, modern perspective. The tracklist for ‘4EVR’ begins with “THRASH (PARTY STARTER),” an appropriately-titled song that kicks off with harrowing sirens and heart-dropping, euphoric synth melodies. The track then builds into its explosive trap drop, a section filled to the brim with visceral distortion, trunk-rattling kick drums, and snappy, reverberating snare hits. Continuing the album’s characteristic genre traversal, “TRASH (PARTY STARTER)” finishes with a cacophony of palpitating rave hardcore elements, wrapping the track with a warehouse party atmosphere. The album continues with “ENERGY,” a collaboration with Zimbabwe-bred vocalist Bantu that filters bass house formulas and Afrobeat-inspired drum rhythms through ISOKNOCK’s signature maximalist approach. ‘4EVR’ is then rounded out by the propulsive, percussion-oriented “PAIN”; the futuristic, climatic trap banger “SIGNAL,” featuring vocalist Dava; and the emotional, R&B-inspired “BLIND,” featuring vocalists Araya and Sur Black. Audacious, grandiose, and stacked with vivid production details, ‘4EVR’ positions ISOKNOCK as pop stars ready to be the face of electronic music’s future. More than that, the album acutely translates the duo’s close creative synergy – a chemistry made possible by their long-standing friendship and mutual artistic instincts. ‘4EVR’ takes listeners across a gauntlet of music genres throughout its tracklist, but it never loses sight of ISOKNOCK’s finely-tuned creative and thematic vision – a precise execution that proliferates a timeless aura around the entire project, ensuring it to inspire electronic music fans for years to come.

Fred Pomerantz played the congas. Pomerantz — a trained musician before he began his religious career — was spiritual leader for 32 years of one of Bergen County's biggest Reform congregations, Temple Beth El of Northern Valley. He died last month at age 84, but his legacy lives on as a musical innovator who brought a fresh, jazzy sensibility to Jewish worship. Originally from western Pennsylvania, the rabbi known in his youth as "Freddy with the the drums" sought to make ancient liturgy more accessible to new generations. Starting in the late 1960s, he collaborated with Grammy-winning performers, turned his services into a jazz-rock album and took his musical concoction on the road to synagogues across the country. "Music is this universal way to bring people together," said Pomerantz's daughter, Rebecca Shinder, who grew up near the temple in Closter and followed in her father's footsteps as a rabbi. "It's a way to have people understand prayers they previously recited by rote. Nothing about this service is rote." Pomerantz led Temple Beth El in Closter from 1973 to 2005. He died on July 8 at Englewood Hospital. He was fluent in music long before he became fluent in the Bible. Growing up in a small town, he played for school bands, for the local summer stock playhouse and in town parades. He paid his way through college by playing drums and booking bands at Penn State and the University of Pittsburgh. But he eventually realized his true calling and was ordained at Hebrew Union College in New York in 1968. Connecting to new generation with 'Sim Shalom' He returned to Pennsylvania that year to serve at Rodef Shalom, a synagogue in Pittsburgh. Early on, he noticed that many young Jews didn't feel connected to the formal tunes their parents and grandparents sang at temple. Determined to change that, he started incorporating jazz rhythms into the traditional Sabbath prayer service, creating a program that he called "Sim Shalom," Hebrew for "grant us peace." "It was such an unusual and healing service based on jazz music," said Marty Kasdan, past president of Temple Beth El. "He put together a group of musicians and singers who did this huge event that drew people of all ages. It was beautiful! His goal was to bring music into the services and make it more approachable." "He would lead the service as a rabbi and also serve as a drummer from the bimah," Kasdan said, using the Hebrew word for "altar." "Sim Shalom was a major event that would enhance the beauty and meaning of the service and would make you meditate and feel happy," Kasdan added. "There were variations to it each time, with different performers. He also created other programs, like pre-service concerts with musicians who would also participate in the prayer services afterwards." In a 2001 interview with The Record, Pomerantz said, "When people are opening up and connecting to Judaism and their heritage, that's when I feel my best." Pomerantz said he wanted to blend the timeless with the timely. In ancient times, Jews used musical instruments in prayer services at the holy temple in Jerusalem. But many, particularly in Orthodox and Conservative synagogues, stopped using instruments on the Sabbath after Jerusalem's Second Temple was destroyed by the Romans in the first century. Most Reform temples, however, have long used choirs, organs and bands during services. A new album and a national tour In 1971, Pomerantz turned his program into an album, "Sim Shalom — Rock Jazz Service," to spread the message. He traveled to Reform temples across the U.S. and Canada with singers and bands, attracting a crowd of worshippers to celebrate the Sabbath with toe-tapping fervor. The Central Conference of American Rabbis took notice and invited Pomerantz to join its liturgy committee, which wrote “Gates of Repentance" and other prayer books published in the 1970s and used by over 1 million Reform Jews over the decades. Howard Shapiro, rabbi emeritus of Temple Israel in West Palm Beach, Florida, hosted a Sim Shalom performance in 2008. "It was an attempt to give the liturgy contemporary components that would give it new meaning," he said. "There have been folk interpretations and modern interpretations of the prayers, but this jazz innovation was something unique. "It was partially like being at a jazz concert, but it was also sacred. Freddy was very creative," Shapiro said. Jazz greats in the temple Pomerantz brought in Grammy-winning jazz artists, such as the late Michael Renzi, Harry Allen and Annette Sanders. He wanted people to be active participants in prayer and to rethink the status quo, said Shinder, 52, the rabbi's daughter, who grew up in Closter and still lives there with her husband and children. "I've had Jews and non-Jews tell me that this is something they didn't know they needed," said Shinder, the rabbi at Temple Beth Shalom in Florida, New York. More: Artist from Teaneck draws acclaim for capturing trauma of Israel at war Throughout his career, she said, her father aspired to provide unique experiences, whether through creative spaces or a dimly lit sanctuary, through music or projected images on the sanctuary walls. When Pomerantz joined Rodef Shalom in Pittsburgh, he offered a stark contrast to the older leader on staff, she said. The coffeehouse Pomerantz created attracted both Jews and non-Jews to learn, sing and search for meaning together. After leaving Temple Beth El, Pomerantz served at Congregation Agudas Achim in Sullivan County, New York, from 2004 until his death. But he kept up his Bergen County ties, At Temple Beth El, there was a Shabbat Unplugged Band that played monthly. Pomerantz performed in that ensemble well into his retirement, with his grandson joining him in the percussion section.

More than “just” a new studio album by British rock icons Status Quo! One CD with Quo’s new album Second Disc with all their hits as heard in the spy-comedy movie Bula Quo!, starring the band ~2CD and Digital Audio Out July 9~ New York, NY (May 29, 2013)—Experience classic rock artists Status Quo as you’ve never encountered them before. On July 9 2013, the band will release their new double album, Bula Quo! via earMUSIC/Edel/Eagle Rock Entertainment [MSRP $17.98]. Bula Quo! has been inspired by their incredible adventures filming their first ever feature-film of the same title. The first disc features nine brand new tracks, written as the soundtrack for the duo’s madcap escapades in the movie. Disc 2 contains exclusive reworked studio songs or live versions of 10 classic Quo hits, which are also featured in the film (including an amazing Fijian-style rendition of “Living On An Island”). Status Quo is enjoying an exciting phase in their long and successful career, after the critical acclaim and the support received by their loyal audience for their previous studio album Quid Pro Quo and the relative tour. The 90-minute action movie Bula Quo! features the band as themselves and stars Craig Fairbrass [Cliff Hanger, Rise Of The Footsoldier, Eastenders] and Laura Aikman [Keith Lemon The Movie, Freight, Surviving Picasso] with Jon Lovitz [Saturday Night Live, The Critic, Friends, The Wedding Singer]. The film was directed by Stuart St. Paul, who has worked on projects ranging from Duran Duran’s seminal “Wild Boys” video, to Aliens, Batman and three James Bond films. The movie will hit the stores and theaters soon after summer. “Making the film in Fiji was a fantastic experience and we couldn’t help but be inspired by our surroundings,” states vocalist/lead guitarist Francis Rossi. “We had no plans to write and release a new studio album as well as filming our parts for the movie, it just happened.” Adds singer/rhythm guitarist Rick Parfitt: “We hope that Quo fans will enjoy the film, which is certainly something new for the band, but we know they are going to love the music.” As the new material sounds inspired and fresh, it is one album not to be missed and the film is destined to become a cult for Quo fans. For everybody else… Bula Quo! will “simply” be one of their strongest releases ever! www.statusquo.co.uk www.ear-music.net www.youtube.com/earMUSICofficial www.facebook.com/earmusicofficial Eagle Rock Entertainment is the largest producer and distributor of music programming for DVD, Blu-Ray, TV, Audio and Digital Media in the world.

Enjoying one of the longest careers of any band in rock history, they have become hard-rock heroes to many — but the uninitiated may wonder where to start. To coincide with the 180g vinyl reissue of their 1980 compilation, 12 Gold Bars, we present eight Status Quo facts that you need to know. Listen to the Status Quo best of 12 Gold Bars right now, and scroll down to read our eight things you need to know about Status Quo. Status Quo Facts: 8 Essential Things You Need To Know 1: ‘Rockin’ All Over the World’ is actually a cover Status Quo had a Top 5 UK hit with ‘Rockin’ All Over The World’ in 1977, and, since then, the song has been synonymous with the band. It was, however, originally written and recorded two years earlier by John Fogerty for his self-titled second solo album. Other versions of the song have been recorded by Bon Jovi and The Georgia Satellites. During the filming of Status Quo’s ‘Rockin’ All Over The World’ promo video, bassist Alan Lancaster was living in Australia, so he was replaced by a dummy holding a bass guitar. 2: ‘Down Down’ was inspired by Marc Bolan Written by Francis Rossi and Bob Young, ‘Down Down’ was inspired by the Tyrannosaurs Rex song ‘Deborah’, leading Rossi to want to write a chorus that started with a punchy “D” sound. The singer and guitarist also noted that the intro to ‘Down Down’ sounds like their own early song ‘Pictures Of Matchstick Men’, though the resemblance is an accident. 3: They weren’t always called Status Quo They say the third time’s a charm… but make that the fifth for Status Quo. The band were originally called The Scorpions when they formed in 1962, but a year later they switched to The Spectres. They then assumed the short-lived moniker Traffic Jam in 1967, before renaming themselves The Status Quo. Dropping the definite article in 1969, Status Quo were ready for the 70s — and the decade they would make their names in. 4: They released a bona fide psychedelic classic Though firmly hailed as hard rock stalwarts, an early incarnation of Status Quo had a Top 10 UK hit with ‘Pictures Of Matchstick Men’ in 1968. Now regarded as a classic of the psychedelic rock era (with original copies commanding crazy prices among collectors), the song was written by Rossi while, he claimed, he sat on a toilet in Camberwell. It has since been sampled by Death In Vegas (for the track ‘Scorpio Rising’, sung by Liam Gallagher), while Ozzy Osbourne and Type O Negative collaborated on a cover version for the 1997 Howard Stern biopic, Private Parts. 5: ‘Caroline’ could have sounded very different Usually picked to open their live sets, ‘Caroline’’s place in the band’s history is assured. Yet the song could have ended up sounding very different. At first, Rossi wasn’t taken by Bob Young’s lyric “Together we can rock’n’roll”, but when he couldn’t come up with an alternative, it remained in place. The original arrangement of the song was also much slower, but after Rick Parfitt sped the guitar riff up, ‘Caroline’ became the classic concert-opener fans know and love. 6: Rick Parfitt and Francis Rossi were appointed OBEs The two rockers were appointed to The Most Excellent Order Of The British Empire in 2010. They compared the moment to their memorable opening slot at the original Live Aid, in 1985, noting, “nothing can make you forget this”. It wasn’t, however, their first brush with royalty. Status Quo met Prince Charles in 1982, when they performed for The Prince’s Trust. They gave all the money they earned to charity. 7: The mystery behind ‘Mystery Song’ One of the band’s more controversial numbers, ‘Mystery Song’ was written about a prostitute. The line “STs showing, you really got me going” left many wondering what kind of illicit code words the band might be using in their lyrics — though it turned out that “STs” simply stood for “stocking tops”. 8: ‘Wild Side Of Life’ has a Carter Family connection Recorded by everyone from Bill Haley to Willie Nelson, Jerry Lee Lewis and Bonnie Tyler, ‘Wild Side Of Life’ was co-written by William Warren and Arlie Carter. The tune is based on an old Appalachian country song, ‘I’m Thinking Tonight Of My Blue Eyes’, with which The Carter Family had a hit in 1929. In the 30s, Roy Acuff used its melody for ‘The Great Speckled Bird’, which in turn provided inspiration for ‘Wild Side Of Life’, penned by William Warren after — depending on which story you believe — he spotted his ex-wife in a bar; or he met a young woman who ditched him for “the glitter of the gay night life”. Arlie Carter was the pianist for Jimmy Heap And His Melody makers, who first recorded the song, but it took country singer Hank Thompson to have a hit with it, in 1951. The group’s classic best of, 12 Gold Bars, has just been reissued on 180g vinyl and can be bought here.

Quintessential rockers, the group is a legend—remarkable for its longevity, popularity, and impressive record sales. The “Quo,” as they are called, have sold more than 125 million records internationally and have had more than 50 number-one singles in Britain, a figure higher than that of any other band in rock history. A blues-rock quintet (or quartet, depending on the era), the Quo are fronted by lead guitarist/vocalist Francis Rossi and rhythm guitarist/vocalist Rick Parffit. The group is known for boogie rock, in which 12-bar blues progressions are performed in a rock style. In addition, the band is identified by its characteristic sound—basic, loud, and heavy, but with catchy melodies; its image—long hair, T-shirts, blue jeans, and white tennis shoes; its concert presentation—heads down, with all of the guitarists lined up together; and its rabid fan base. The Quo have inspired generations of supporters, dubbed the Quo Army, who faithfully buy their records and attend their shows. The Quo Army are credited with inventing “headbanging,” a gesture in which appreciative fans flop their heads up and down in time to the music. For the Record… Members include Andy Bown (born on March 27, 1946), keyboards, guitar, harmonica, bass; John Coghlan (born on September 19, 1946; left group, 1982), drums; John Edwards (born on May 9, 1953), bass, vocals, songwriter; Pete Kircher (born c. 1950; left group, 1985), drums; Alan Lancaster (born on February 7, 1949; group member, 1962-85), bass, vocals; Matthew Letley (born on March 29, 1981), drums; Roy Lynes (born on November 25, 1943; left group, 1970), keyboards; Rick Parffit (born Richard Harrison on October 25 (some sources say October 12), 1948; joined group, 1968), rhythm guitar, vocals, songwriter, producer; Jeff Rich (left group, 2000), drums; Francis Rossi (born Francis Dominic Michael Rossi on May 29 [some sources say April 29], 1949; joined group, 1962), lead guitar, vocals, songwriter, producer.

Status Quo are lauded as particularly exciting live performers and as a terrific cover band; they have recorded songs by a number of diverse rock, R&B, folk, pop, and country artists. The Quo served as the model for Spinal Tap, the self-proclaimed “loudest band in Britain,” in Rob Reiner’s comic rockumentary film This Is Spinal Tap, (1984). Despite their chart success and passionate, loyal fan base, Status Quo have received a mixed reception among some rock music aficionados. Stereotyped as “three-chord wonders,” the group has also been derided as musicians of limited skill that play plodding, repetitious music for unsophisticated audiences. Although the band has achieved great popularity throughout the world, it has yet to catch on in the United States. Their only American hit was the single “Pictures of Matchstick Men,” a psychedelic bubble-gum tune that features trippy lyrics, a Vox organ, and a phased-out, persistent guitar riff. This song, released in 1967 and later covered by Ozzy Osboume for the Howard Stern film Private Parts in 1997, is generally considered a pop masterpiece. After its psychedelic period, the Quo redefined themselves and developed an instantly recognizable sound: the thunderous Fender Telecasters of Rossi and Parffit, a driving beat, and songs perfect for foot-stomping and playing “air guitar.” Since then, the Quo has kept to this same basic formula, which not only helped foster their monumental success, but made them objects of derision as well. Rossi and Parffit’s songs, with occasional contributions by other band members and collaborators, are commended for their melodies, insightful lyrics, interesting key changes and harmonies, and infectious sound. Ranging from barnstorming rockers to quieter ballads, the group’s influences include folk, skiffle, early rock, and country music. Several compositions by the group, such as “Caroline,” a song by Rossi and Bob Young, are considered classics. Matchstick Men Caught Fire The genesis of Status Quo began in 1962 when Alan Lancaster, a member of the orchestra at Sedgehill Comprehensive School in Beckenham, Kent, England, asked fellow orchestra member Alan Key to form a traditional jazz band. Key asked his friend Francis Rossi, then calling himself Mike, to join. They became a beat group called the Scorpions, with Rossi and Key on guitars and Lancaster on bass. After losing Key and adding drummer John Coghlan, the Scorpions changed their name to the Spectres and started to write original material. While playing at Butlin’s holiday camp in Minehead, the band added keyboardist Roy Lynes. While there, Rossi also met Rick Parffit, who was singing and playing guitar in an act with this twin sisters, and decided to work with him. In 1966 the Spectres signed a deal with Piccadilly Records (later Pye Records) and released three singles, all of which failed to chart. They changed their name to Traffic (not to be confused with the band fronted by Steve Winwood), then to Traffic Jam, then to the Status Quo. In 1967 Parffit joined the group, which released the single “Pictures of Matchstick Men”; it became a massive hit. At the insistence of its record company, the band began dressing in Carnaby Street gear, such as satin vests, frilly shirts, and frock coats. The group released its first album, Picturesque Matchstickable Messages from the Status Quo, in 1968. This record, which showcases the Quo’s psychedelic pop sound, yielded another popular single, “Ice in the Sun.” However, their subsequent pop/psych record, Spare Parts, failed to make an impact, and the Status Quo began to be viewed as a novelty act. By 1970 the Status Quo decided to toughen up their sound and image. They grew their hair long, donned jeans and sneakers, and began to play no-frills rock. As Status Quo, they released the boogie-influenced hit single “Down the Dustpipe” and the bluesy album Ma Kelly’s Greasy Spoon, which also received notice; soon after, keyboardist Lynes left the band. The following year the band released Dog of Two Head, an album now considered the birth of their signature sound. The Quo played two important outdoor music festivals, the Reading Rock Festival and the British Great Western Festival, events that helped to cement their reputation as an authentic hard-rock band. Status Quo left Pye Records, signed a deal with the Phonogram subsidiary Vertigo, and begin to build a solid following. In 1973 they released the self-produced Piledriver, a studio album that captured their live sound; the single “Paper Plane” began a string of hits that lasted through the mid-1980s. The Quo then released Hello!, a record often considered their best. Entering the British charts at number one, this album, Rossi’s favorite Quo recording, is especially vibrant. In 1975 the single “Down Down” was the first to reach number one on the British charts. In 1976 the Quo teamed with Levi Strauss and Company to promote their album Blue for You; one of the first sponsorship deals of its kind in Britain. Another album released that year, Status Quo, reached number 148 in the United States, the only Quo LP to chart in America. Changes to the Status Quo In 1977 Status Quo released Live!, an LP of the band in concert at Glasgow’s Apollo Theatre that is acknowledged as one of the best live albums ever recorded. In 1982 drummer John Coghlan left the band and was replaced by Pete Kircher. The same year, the Quo became the first rock group to perform at a charity benefit attended by royalty: the inaugural Prince’s Trust concert at the Birmingham NEC, at which Prince Charles was present. In 1984 the Quo announced their retirement from touring. Rossi and Parffit participated in the Band-Aid recording of “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” and keyboardist Andy Bown became a full-time member of the Quo after several years of part-time status. In 1985 the group opened Live-Aid—at the time, the largest live event in music history—by performing John Fogerty’s “Rockin’ All Over the World.” This marked Alan Lancaster’s last appearance with the Quo; later, he filed an unsuccessful injunction against Rossi and Parffit seeking to prevent them from using the group’s name without him. In 1986 the Quo returned with a new rhythm section, bassist John “Rhino” Edwards and drummer Jeff Rich, and decided to come out of retirement. In 1990 the Quo celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of the meeting of Rossi and Parffit, releasing their compilation album Rockin’All Over the Years, which became the band’s fastest-selling album. In 1991 the Quo received the BRIT Award and the World Music Award for their contributions to music. That year the group also earned an entry in the Guinness Book of Records for playing four shows in eleven hours, eleven minutes in Sheffield, Glasgow, Birmingham, and London; Rossi and Parffit were also immortalized in the Rock Legends Hall of Fame at Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum in London, England. The band signed with Polydor Records in 1992, followed by Rossi and Parffit’s autobiography, Just for the Record, for Bantam Press, the following year. In 1994 Status Quo had its second number-one single with “Come On You Reds,” a song recorded with the Manchester United Football Club for the Sport-Aid benefit. That same year the Quo charged BBC Radio One with ageism for refusing to play “Fun Fun Fun,” a remake of the Beach Boys hit; the courts however, ruled in the station’s favor. In 1997 Parffit underwent a successful quadruple bypass. Two years later, he’d recovered enough for another concert marathon: the Quo played three countries in one day and four British shows in 18 hours; in addition, they performed at a benefit concert in Munich, headlined by Michael Jackson, for the aid of Kosovan refugees. In 2000 Jeff Rich left the band and was replaced by Matthew Letley. In 2002 the Quo’s single “Jam Side Down” reached number 17 on the British charts; they also released the album Heavy Traffic and went on tour to support it. The Quo Achieved Status By successfully changing their direction, developing a grass-roots following supported by constant touring and exciting live shows, and maintaining a large, devoted audience through their appealing music and consistent approach, Status Quo have become a rock legend. They also have been praised for their commitment to their craft, despite indifference from record companies, radio stations, and music fans. They are not without detractors, however: The Quo have also been denounced as boring, predictable, formulaic, unfashionable, and unadventurous; their music from the 1980s and 1990s has been called limp and over-produced. Writing in The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Rock, Nick Logan and Bob Woffinden summarize the Quo quandary: “The worst band in the world, or true progenitors of working-class punk heavy metal? Status Quo are Britain’s very own Grand Funk [referring to the Michigan hard-rock outfit], almost universally condemned by rock cognoscenti, but supported by a veritable denim army of banner-waving, head-shaking British fans.” Generally, however, the Quo are recognized as an institution, a band that creates unpretentious, likable music that transcends trends and appeals to a wide variety of listeners. A critic in Guitarist noted, “Quo ARE rock ‘n’ roll. After years at the butt end of a million three-chord-wonder gags, this band is what many a guitarist and bass player would really like to be, whether they care to admit it or not.” Gary “Pig” Gold of MusicHound Rock: The Essential Album Guide concluded that the Quo “is nothing short of the first and last rude word in loud, denim-clad, beer-soaked, and stripped-to-the-basics music-making. While trends duly come and go, and myriad challenges to its throne rise to briefly boogie then vanish, Status Quo seems destined to persevere well into the next century at least.” Asked by Sheila Rene of HardRadio what he is most proud of after 30 years with Status Quo, Francis Rossi answered, “Just hanging on, I think, in the face of adversity…. I’m quite proud that we’ve managed to hang on and we still sell out shows. We’re extremely lucky that we can do that.” In an interview with Ram Samudrala on his website, Rick Parffit perhaps summarized it best: “[l]f the party’s flagging, put on some Quo.” Selected discography Picturesque Matchstickable Messages from the Status Quo, Pye, 1968.

Forbes" ]	2024-05-29T04:22:20+00:00	From the origin of their name to the inspirations behind classic songs, these Status Quo facts will help you unlock the history of the band.	en	https://www.udiscovermus…icon-32x32-1.png	uDiscover Music	https://www.udiscovermusic.com/stories/status-quo-facts-8-essential-things-you-need-to-know/	In one form or another, Status Quo have been on the planet since 1962, when Francis Rossi formed the band The Scorpions while at school. Enjoying one of the longest careers of any band in rock history, they have become hard-rock heroes to many – but the uninitiated may wonder where to start. To coincide with the 180g vinyl reissue of their 1980 compilation, 12 Gold Bars, we present eight Status Quo facts that you need to know. Listen to the Status Quo best of 12 Gold Bars right now. 1: “Rockin’ All Over the World” is actually a cover Status Quo had a Top 5 UK hit with “Rockin’ All Over The World” in 1977, and, since then, the song has been synonymous with the band. It was, however, originally written and recorded two years earlier by John Fogerty for his self-titled second solo album. Other versions of the song have been recorded by Bon Jovi and The Georgia Satellites. ADVERTISEMENT During the filming of Status Quo’s “Rockin’ All Over The World” promo video, bassist Alan Lancaster was living in Australia, so he was replaced by a dummy holding a bass guitar. 2: “Down Down” was inspired by Marc Bolan Written by Francis Rossi and Bob Young, “Down Down” was inspired by the Tyrannosaurs Rex song “Deborah,” leading Rossi to want to write a chorus that started with a punchy “D” sound. The singer and guitarist also noted that the intro to “Down Down” sounds like their own early song “Pictures Of Matchstick Men,” though the resemblance is an accident. 3: They weren’t always called Status Quo They say the third time’s a charm… but make that the fifth for Status Quo. The band were originally called The Scorpions when they formed in 1962, but a year later they switched to The Spectres. They then assumed the short-lived moniker Traffic Jam in 1967, before renaming themselves The Status Quo. Dropping the definite article in 1969, Status Quo were ready for the 70s – and the decade they would make their names in. 4: They released a bona fide psychedelic classic Though firmly hailed as hard rock stalwarts, an early incarnation of Status Quo had a Top 10 UK hit with “Pictures Of Matchstick Men” in 1968. Now regarded as a classic of the psychedelic rock era (with original copies commanding crazy prices among collectors), the song was written by Rossi while, he claimed, he sat on a toilet in Camberwell. It has since been sampled by Death In Vegas (for the track “Scorpio Rising,” sung by Liam Gallagher), while Ozzy Osbourne and Type O Negative collaborated on a cover version for the 1997 Howard Stern biopic, Private Parts. 5: “Caroline” could have sounded very different Usually picked to open their live sets, “Caroline”’s place in the band’s history is assured. Yet the song could have ended up sounding very different. At first, Rossi wasn’t taken by Bob Young’s lyric “Together we can rock’n’roll,” but when he couldn’t come up with an alternative, it remained in place. The original arrangement of the song was also much slower, but after Rick Parfitt sped the guitar riff up, “Caroline” became the classic concert-opener fans know and love. 6: Rick Parfitt and Francis Rossi were appointed OBEs The two rockers were appointed to The Most Excellent Order Of The British Empire in 2010. They compared the moment to their memorable opening slot at the original Live Aid, in 1985, noting, “nothing can make you forget this.” It wasn’t, however, their first brush with royalty. Status Quo met Prince Charles in 1982, when they performed for The Prince’s Trust. They gave all the money they earned to charity. 7: The mystery behind “Mystery Song” One of the band’s more controversial numbers, “Mystery Song” was written about a prostitute. The line “STs showing, you really got me going” left many wondering what kind of illicit code words the band might be using in their lyrics – though it turned out that “STs” simply stood for “stocking tops.” 8: “Wild Side Of Life” has a Carter Family connection Recorded by everyone from Bill Haley to Willie Nelson, Jerry Lee Lewis and Bonnie Tyler, “Wild Side Of Life” was co-written by William Warren and Arlie Carter. The tune is based on an old Appalachian country song, “I’m Thinking Tonight Of My Blue Eyes,” with which The Carter Family had a hit in 1929. In the 30s, Roy Acuff used its melody for “The Great Speckled Bird,” which in turn provided inspiration for “Wild Side Of Life,” penned by William Warren after – depending on which story you believe – he spotted his ex-wife in a bar; or he met a young woman who ditched him for “the glitter of the gay night life.” Arlie Carter was the pianist for Jimmy Heap And His Melody makers, who first recorded the song, but it took country singer Hank Thompson to have a hit with it, in 1951.

SANTA CLARA — With San Francisco unable to reach a long-term deal with Brandon Aiyuk, the 49ers have given the star receiver permission to talk to other potential suitors. Now the question is whether there’s a team that Aiyuk wants to play for that is willing both to give him the lucrative contract he’s seeking and the 49ers enough compensation in a trade to make something happen. If not, Aiyuk might end up staying in San Francisco whether with a new contract or on a fifth-year option. For now, the situation remains status quo despite swirling rumors about Aiyuk’s status. “I’m not going any specifics with offers, contracts, trades, anything like that. But what I can tell you guys is nothing has changed,” coach Kyle Shanahan said Tuesday. “A lot was out yesterday and stuff, but from the situation that we’re in with Brandon, nothing’s changed.” NBC Sports Bay Area reported Monday night that the Niners have agreed to potential deals with Cleveland and New England that could happen if Aiyuk was willing to agree to a long-term deal with those teams. Aiyuk reportedly would prefer a deal with Pittsburgh but the Steelers would also have to meet the 49ers asking price for one of their top players. Shanahan said he doesn’t expect a resolution to be imminent. “You always want it to be. Badly,” he said. “But this stuff does take time. Every day I hope it gets resolved. But I have no timetable on it. It didn’t surprise me coming into this. … Hopefully it will get resolved sooner than later.” Related Story: 49ers QB Brock Purdy Shows Benefits of Healthy Offseason Early in Training Camp Aiyuk Skipped Offseason Program, Reported to Camp but Refuses to Practice Aiyuk skipped the entire offseason program, including a mandatory minicamp in June, as he waited for a lucrative extension to replace the fifth-year option on his rookie deal. He reported to training camp in late July after making a trade request but has refused to practice. He is attending team meetings and is not being fined. Aiyuk had been set to play on the fifth-year option worth about $14.1 million this season and wanted San Francisco to make him the latest receiver to cash in with a long-term deal. Ten receivers before Aiyuk had signed contracts worth at least $70 million already this offseason with Justin Jefferson’s four-year, $140 million extension with Minnesota setting the top of the market. Related Story: Joshua Dobbs Seeks Stability With 49ers After Wild 2023 Season Aiyuk’s Absence Would Be Hard to Overcome for 49ers’ Super Bowl Hopes Aiyuk had been a key part of San Francisco’s offense last season as he formed a great connection with quarterback Brock Purdy. Aiyuk had 75 catches and a career-high 1,375 yards last season with seven touchdowns as he earned second-team All-Pro honors. His absence would be hard to overcome if San Francisco has designs on getting back to the Super Bowl and winning it this upcoming season. “Brandon’s a great player,” Shanahan said. “It’s real hard to be better when you lose a great player. So we got to look at anything. We got to understand the situation we’re in and what that looks like. That does take time. So hopefully it’ll all work out best for him and best for us in the long run.” Related Story: Eight-Time Pro Bowler Says Pay Cut Hurt but He Did it to Stay With 49ers 49ers Have History of Handing Out Megadeals to Homegrown Stars The Niners have done a good job keeping their homegrown stars drafted since Shanahan and general manager John Lynch took over in 2017. San Francisco had handed out megadeals the past four offseasons to George Kittle, Fred Warner, Deebo Samuel and Nick Bosa. Those weren’t easy negotiations but Warner’s pushed into training camp with Samuel missing a few practices in 2022 and Bosa not signing until less than a week before the opener last season. Bosa described the process as “brutal” and said he had doubts it would end with a new contract at times last summer. “As it got closer and closer (to the season), it gets pretty dicey,” Bosa said. “But I definitely didn’t want to be traded. It’s a good place to be. I’m very thankful and grateful to be paid and here, because I don’t think there are many other organizations that are as good as this one.” The 49ers are also without another of their top offensive players with All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams holding out of camp in search of an improved contract. Shanahan had no updates on Williams’ status and said he hopes “that gets resolved as soon as possible too.” NOTES: RB Christian McCaffrey strained his calf and will likely miss a couple of weeks of practice. … RB Elijah Mitchell has a strained hamstring and will miss about a week, leading to the Niners bringing back RB Matt Breida. Breida rushed for 1,902 yards for San Francisco from 2017-19 before being traded to Miami. … P Mitch Wishnowsky is out with knee irritation and the 49ers will need to bring in a punter for the exhibition opener on Saturday at Tennessee. … Rookie WR Jacob Cowing returned to practice after missing time with a hamstring injury. … Rookie WR Ricky Pearsall tweaked his shoulder in practice and left early. … WR Malik Turner was placed on injured reserve.

CD 3 is dubbed ‘Before Quo’ and boasts recordings from The Spectres, who then became Traffic Jam, including A-sides, B-sides and BBC sessions. The fourth disc delivers a generous selection of A-Sides, B-Sides, demos and outtakes before the fifth and final disc completes the story of this era with 18 further tracks from various BBC radio sessions. The discs are presented in a clamshell box and come with a 40-page booklet with extensive sleevenotes and loads of images of memorabilia from this era, drawn from the band’s own archive. The Early Years (1966-1969) will be released on 15 March 2024 via BMG.

So, what do they do? They release another covers album…honestly guys, really? There’s been a trend in recent years, which isn’t particularly welcome, of bands rerecording their own songs or putting out cover albums of their “favourite” songs (usually the same “favourite” songs of every other band on the planet). The Quo did both on one album! Spinning the original fifteen-track incarnation of ‘Riffs’ was actually far less painful than I’d imagined it might be. In all honesty, new versions of ‘Whatever You Want’, ‘Rockin’ All Over The World’ and especially ‘Caroline’ seem vaguely pointless, while ‘Junior’s Wailing’ fairs a little better. ‘Caroline’ is especially unfortunate, the Quo policy of adding keys to everything, and smoothing out all the rough edges, makes for a pretty painful listen. Moving on to the choice of covers we find a pretty mixed bag. For the most part, Rossi and co give the songs a good Quoing (apologies to the spell checker). A workman-like version of ‘I Fought The Law’ fails to hit the spot before the guys try on ‘Born To Be Wild’ for size which works much better despite it being a song we've all heard a million times. Andy Bown has a ball adding the necessary amount of swirling organ to the Steppenwolf classic. Is that my foot tapping? A faithful rendition (with added harmonica) of the BTO classic ‘Takin’ Care Of Business’ keeps things rolling along nicely. Next up, ‘Wild One’, the old rock n’ roll tune popularized by Iggy Pop, seems a very strange choice. The Quo version sounds more like Iggy with a dash of Billy Idol than Quo. Luckily, Quo are soon back on safe ground for the harmonica-drenched boogie of Canned Heat’s ‘On The Road Again’, which would have been a little better if they’d had the strength of their convictions and jammed it out. ‘Tobacco Road’ is gone in a flash, which is fine by me as the David Lee Roth version is definitive to my ears for which I make no apologies. A sprightly run-through of J. Geils ‘Centerfold’ is great fun though. ‘All Day and All Of The Night’ is fine for what it is, but it’s a terribly overplayed song. Far better is a faithful version of ‘Don’t Bring Me Down’ that somewhat surprisingly, suits Quo down to the ground (no pun intended). The Quo do blot their copybook a little with a version of Elvis Costello’s ‘Pump It Up’ that is slightly redeemed by the verve with which they attack the tune. Overall ‘Riffs’ is probably far better than it has any right to be and It had a few nice moments that made me smile and my foot tap. Would I play 'Riffs' again when I could listen to the original tracks? Probably not. This new 2 Disc deluxe release features three bonus tracks on disc one released as singles to promote the ‘XS – Greatest Hits’ set. ‘You’ll Come Round’ and ‘Thinking Of You’ (complete with bagpipe guitars) + single B-Side ‘Lucinda’ that is heads down, old-school Quo and probably too good to be languishing as a B-Side. If you purchased ‘Riffs’ back in the day you probably have a copy with a bonus DVD, so you’ll want to keep that one, but this new deluxe edition should be a worthy addition to the collection. This time out the second disc is a CD with a further smattering of B-sides and a lengthy (6.46) live, unreleased alternate version of ‘Caroline’. The majority of disc two is a live show from the Montreux Jazz Festival on July 4th, 2004, where the Quo plough through classics such as ‘Rain’, ‘Roll Over, Lay Down’ and ‘Down Down’ and, in typical Quo style, throw in a medley (or two) to remind us how good a live band they are/were. ‘Riffs’ is released on September 30th alongside the deluxe ‘Heavy Traffic’.

So why does Quo frontman Francis Rossi hate it so much?	en	https://vanilla.futurecd…e-touch-icon.png	louder	https://www.loudersound.com/news/status-quo-the-story-behind-quo-live	Time isn’t always the great healer. Certainly it hasn’t been for Francis Rossi, in terms of how he now views Status Quo’s definitive first live album. What bugs the Quo frontman the most about 1977’s Live! is the very thing that made the fans who bought it first time around so proud of it. “Unlike every other live album from those days, there are absolutely no overdubs on that album, no going back and fixing the bum notes, nothing other than what we actually put out there on stage at the time,” he says. “We wanted to prove we weren’t like the others, we weren’t cheating. But every time I listen to it now, all I can hear are the mistakes. I sit here cringing, thinking: ‘I wish we’d put fucking overdubs on.’” A lack of overdubs – a complete lack of any dressing-up whatsoever – is what gave Status Quo their unique appeal, and what gave Live! head-shaking brilliance. The fact that it was rough as a badger’s arse mattered not then, and matters even less so now. That crowd you hear going ballistic – the Glasgow Apollo, famously the most ballistic audience in the British Isles – isn’t the product of some producer’s bag of tricks. Nor are those squawking, squealing, wheeling-dealing guitars and swing-hammer drums. That is the authentic sound of the original Quo, and you’re invited to accept no substitute. Of course, they were one of the quintessential British live acts of the 1970s. Long before AC/DC came along, Quo were the original heads-down, no-nonsense boogie band par excellence. They released albums, from which just one single was allowed to be released, even though it was always an enormous hit. Actually they had just broken that rule with their Blue For You studio album, which became their third album to go straight into the UK chart at No.1, and from which they released three singles. Nevertheless, the fact remained: you couldn’t consider yourself a true, heads-down Quo fanatic unless you’d been to see them lay down the law live at least once. “That’s exactly who we were in those days,” agrees Rossi. “Which is why I think the Live! album went down so well with everybody. It was like a ‘greatest hits’ album only much better. No long-form videos in those days, let alone YouTube, so the closest you could come to a genuine Quo live show without actually buying a ticket was on that album. It’s definitely us at our most rocking, that’s for sure. It was rock’n’roll all the way with that line-up, which is another reason why that live album jumps out of you. You can hear the aggression.” Deep Purple Albums Ranked From Worst To Best The 13 best Status Quo headbangers from 1971-1981 The live albums that changed history: 1973-1977 Status Quo's Rick Parfitt to make 'full recovery' following health woes It’s an attitude best heard on the album’s quintessential Quo-in-the-70s track, Forty-Five Hundred Times (one of the few songs Rossi and fellow guitarist/partner in crime Rick Parfitt sat down and wrote together). The head-pummelling version on Live! is nearly 17 minutes long. Better yet for the true Quo addict, though, is the speeded-up, heavy-hitting version of Caroline – featuring co-writer and then-tour manager Bob Young on harmonica – weighing in, via a hearteningly clumsy segue into Bye Bye Johnny, at a not so much cool as downright unreasonable 13 minutes. But this album wasn’t some off-the-top-of-their-heads, Grateful Dead-type performance. Live! had its share of hits, too, including Roll Over Lay Down, which remains one of the few live rock tracks to become a hit single in its own right, and Rain, still one of the biggest and best Quo singles, and one of the few truly great ones written solely by Parfitt, who also sings it in his hard-as-nails voice. “The thing is, it was a complete one-off,” says Rossi. “Not only would we never make a live album like that now, but no one else would either. In fact no one else was making live albums like that back then. So even though it gets on my nerves, I’ve got to love it really. And that audience you hear, in Glasgow. You didn’t argue with them, I tell you.”

A look at how she leverages audience engagement.	en	https://tubularlabs.com/…ular-favicon.svg	Tubular Labs	https://tubularlabs.com/blog/taylor-swift-defies-the-status-quo-how-female-creators-are-taking-their-power-back/	The music industry has long been the focus of scrutiny from many artists for its overbearing record contracts and manipulation of naive and hopeful talented musicians. Millions of fans might not know that their favorite musicians don’t own their own music. Many of the world’s most infamous musicians have come out against record labels. Prince is notorious for coming out and warning young artists — “don’t sign.” What does it look like when record labels own their artist’s music? The Record-Breaking Re-Record Enter in: Taylor Swift and her army of dedicated fans, aka — Swifties. On Friday, November 12, Taylor re-released her album Red from 2012, originally owned by a label. This time, she is label-free. The album rendition is titled Red (Taylor’s Version). Billboard reported that Swift had the biggest album sales week of 2021. According to Spotify, Taylor broke records on the streaming platform for most album streams in a single day by a female artist (90.8M). That said — the previous title holder was also Taylor, following her release of “Folklore” in 2020. Tubular’s data reports that Swift’s personal Youtube racked up 170M views across 39 uploads in the first week of release. In just 7 days, +7,890 album-related videos were uploaded by fans across Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, and Twitch. Exercising Creative Freedom One of the most notable songs on the album that Taylor says she is most excited about is “All Too Well”. When Swift appeared on The Tonight Show, she told Jimmy Fallon this was her favorite song on the original Red album from 2012. Still, she revealed “oftentimes my personal favorites don’t end up being singles or videos” due to labels having the final say in the songs that they’ll push and market the most. So the original 10-minute version of the song was cut down to a standard length and never given a video feature — until now. Swift resurrected this song with her director debut for the short film “All Too Well”. This video won the highest number of Youtube views on Taylor’s channel with 41.1M and 3.6M engagements in just one week and more than eight other song variations, such as the lyric video, short film, and SNL performance earned over 70M views total. Mastering Fan Engagement Taylor made her directing debut with “All Too Well”, a short film starring Sadie Sink from Stranger Things and Dylan O’Brien from Maze Runner. In her classic Swift-style, she dropped dozens of “easter eggs” (clues & codes) throughout the 14-minute film, which incite her fans to scour the content for a hint into Swift’s personal life. This scavenger hunt game she’s created with fans exhibits a mastery of viewer-creator relationships. Engaging with fans this way exponentially propels viewership, engagements, and minutes watched. When you have millions of people raking through details with a fine-toothed comb, engagement skyrockets — this is a lesson that all brands and creators can learn. Today’s young social video audiences want to participate, relate, and be involved rather than just consume. The Future of Crowd Funding Swift’s ability to produce records sans-labels has allowed her to reassume creative control and become more successful than ever before. She’s breaking records left and right. But how can up-and-coming artists without a fanbase as loyal as the Swifties afford to do the same? We believe the evolution of social video can offer a direct line of communication between creator and consumers. Many artists are looking to promote NFTs via social media to use fan funding for an album, exonerating them from going to a record label. This trend is not unique to the music industry, as it spans across all industries where creators are becoming self-empowered through social platforms. But why would fans pay for NFTs when they can stream on Spotify or Apple Music? The truth is that fans love the artist, not the record label. We’ve seen how Swifties have responded in the first week of Red (Taylors Version), and celebrated her freedom to exercise creative control. Many music-lovers would be happy to support their favorite up-and-comers in recording an album with total creative authenticity rather than one edited by a label. Social video and the creator economy have single-handedly altered the way musicians put out music. This shows us what the future of dispersed funding could look like. It also indicates how consumer-creator relationships empower creators. For more predictions on the future of the Creator Economy, read here. Other female artists have also taken a bit of power back this month. Jessica Simpson bought back the rights to her lifestyle & clothing brand for $65M. Additionally, after over a decade of conservatorship, Britney is finally in control of her own money, property, and life. #FreeBritney. We spoke to the Lead Product Manager and Taylor Swift expert at Tubular to get his perspective on the future of creatives in power.

Looking back, I’ve had an overriding interest in all levels of counter culture and expression, my whole life. Also, in retrospect, it was clear that the majority of my peers would grow up to become bankers and insurance brokers, like mini-me’s of their parents. Which, growing up in Surrey, holds no conspiracy within its own natural equation. However, ask most people whose interests in their early teens are more likely to be black metal rather than cricket — the sense of subcultural outlier-dom only fuels further your sense of individualism, but still your own need to find your tribe. A place to belong. At 14 years old, my father took me to my first gig. It was UFO at Hammersmith Odeon. A venue now immortalised in my life as a place of historic interest and worship. Now I had discovered the power of music. Not pop music but rock music. An assault on all the senses; in the concourse and bar the smell of patchouli oil, old Holborn, warm beer and denim and leather, off set against the fresh ink of newly printed tour merchandise. Then into the arena all senses are secondary to the colossal wall of sound coming from the stage. Looking back behind me as the lights are turned on the audience; the sparkle of patch thread and the skin of palms held aloft, momentarily spring out of the murk. This culture was injected into my DNA that night, never to leave my blood stream. The original hook for me (being so young) was simply any record with a fantastical cover. The first album I bought was AC/DC’s ‘If you want blood’. The image of Angus Young spearing himself through the guts with the neck of his Gibson SG, held too many questions for a young man — plus! As soon as the needle hit the vinyl I was supercharged, with what felt like both freedom and some sort of new cathartic energy. I’m now 55, living in a time of post self help and awakening — I would define it as: “like anger without consequence”. A 1980’s form of solitary living room or bedroom based therapy. Maybe there’s no argument There’s always going to be the status quo and counter-culture will also always exist in varying degrees, as a yin to the yang of the more common norm. Status Quo the band however, they have re tarmacked the end of the road at least twenty times since 1984, and are now a sterling example of how all outlets of youthful expression will, at some point, become exchanged for nostalgia. But at some point in the early 60’s they too would have been different or novel enough to suggest a micro-movement of their own. Even if it was just a wash of matching faded denim and waistcoats catching the eye, in front of what in essence was really just blues, but getting faster and louder over the course of the first five albums. To conclude then? There’s always going the be distinct varying degrees of counter culture and rebellion and expression, end of essay. But that would be boring, if not just very short. I’m interested to know if every generation, once they hit their mid-life, thinks that (their version) of rock & roll is dead? Or is the current younger generations version, too undefined in comparison — to even be properly aware of now? Rock & roll- is by definition a musical sensation, originating in the 40’s and 50’s, closely associated with the social (then phenomena) of young people expressing themselves, perhaps more than they may have done previously. In turn, now, anything with a 4/4 beat or 118/120 beats per minute (bpm) or over, is still associated with having its roots in rock & roll, which within twenty years of its inception, became just ‘rock music’. And all the varying fashion influences and subcultures associated with music, have always had a firm link to the phrase. So there we have it Let’s define what it is now in 2024, and we can wrap this up and get back to Spotify. Not so simple. Even if, just for the arrogant middle aged pride of the whole thing: We are now in a significant time of plagiarism and regurgitation existing over creating something genuinely feeling like a novel new movement in subculture? Art has always been a re-packaging of simple and well road tested ideas, and part of the reality of discovering something you love in the arts which sets you on fire, is in fact your youth (if not) your ignorance, to what had previously inspired the band or painter or performance, you are currently digging. As an example: if you were listening to Greta Van Fleet six years ago and you were then approximately 16 years old. You might not discover Led Zeppelin until you’re 23! — that’s just the law of the repackaging of Rock & Roll. Each generation has their version. In turn, around the same time, the headscarf may have made a momentary comeback for men with long locks, but for a generation not necessarily inspired by the hippies, but by a Michigan four piece in 2018. However, most decades bring a new movement and with that a reinvented music scene, the traditional trinity of elements being: (1) a new sound (2) a new uniform (3) a new drug. That’s fairly historical. It’s the subcultural meal deal. So, there is always some evolutionary thread running through. Even if the visual lineage isn’t there, we might still have been lucky to have a new movement to define an era by. If not one that’s evolutionary, it will be one that’s reactionary to what held the stage before it. For example: in the mid to late 80’s and early 90’s — Acid house / Rave/ Mad-chester/ baggy scene; these pretty much defined a large part of a generation and followed the more self expressionist subcultures of the 80’s such as New wave / New Romantic / Hair metal / Heavy metal. But this new sea of oversized washed out denim, bob haircuts and chemical induced love, with an obligatory bottle of water in hand, bore no natural progressive resemblance to it’s older cousin ‘Indy’ and its step sibling breakfast ‘Goth’, ‘Rock’ and ‘Pop’. It had a more uniformed communistic set of ideals, which enforced more of a blanket of youth in general. Perhaps less separation in tribes. Was this sowing the seeds for a more unified youth culture in the future? Side note I am concentrating for the sake of this essay, on British culture. Although in America, the musical tastes do donate very similar fashion led subcultures, with just slight differences, especially around the hardcore and straightedge movement. But in essence, you can still find fairly true common denominators, either side of the pond. So do we now have a defining subcultural movement for the late noughties? Or are we closer to the end of civilisation in some weird predictive way? Humans are still re-inventing themselves by finding fresh new iterations of past loved ideals of expression — what’s this obsession with identity? especially ‘a whole new look and sound’ — what’s the problem Ed? Well - I’m intrigued that what we have now is a time where an over mutation of fashions and cultural leanings signpost a stronger current within the majority, towards a lesser tribal society. (1) suddenly more apparently influenced by the maths of evolution. As we’ve already touched on, subcultures are informed by reaction to the previous generation and the addition of new ingredients to the pot. So it’s only natural that as equations become larger, the figure of the solution is longer. And as a consequence, it is appearing less remarkably individual. (2) Subcultures and movements and also ‘trends’ have always been influenced positively as well as negatively by politics, and the strength in signals found in the growth of technology. It’s no real secret that Instagram is a dopamine loaded inventory of all of your interests in one place. But a lesser discussed notion being the Huxley-esque theory that we are now drowning in choices in what to consume and where to belong. One big tribe Sounds a bit like one new world order doesn’t it? — it could be. Maybe the desire to be different has now been gradually repackaged into the individual having no particular one sense of identity at all? ‘SEX’ — once upon a time, in a shop on Kings Road owned by Westwood and McLaren I know there is right now, all the same levels of pressures on young people to belong: this is the type of hoody your peers are into, these are the shoes which are trending right now, and this is the music your peers are listening to, maybe you like this too, or maybe you’ll take on just a small element of this subculture? a button badge, a pair of DM’s, download only one track. But more interestingly ‘an attitude’ not even reflecting a scene, but just a nod. That’s actually always been the way, so what are we even debating. But with my hands in the air, I still don’t see, similar to past decades, any sub-culturally diverse, visual and aural movements. However, is that more likely to be prejudice of age for all I understand? Do the kids of today see the difference between the mohawk spiked punks having their photos taken on Kings road in 1979 with the Top shop homage version, or the more real hardcore kids of between then and now. So, what is the outstanding attitude or visual dynamic of now? Musically, things are arguably as strong as they’ve ever been, in fact there’s some brilliant new music out there, right across the board. But is there a new movement? It’s like the arts are now one big sweet shop stocked to the gills with the classics and alternatives and the boiling pots of influences alike. There’s your Beatles-butterscotch and your Haring-Haribo alongside your Fred again-fudge and your Margate scene-Midget Gems, with a side order of denim and the tried and tested. Fashion wise -the now middle aged man version of the kid who only chose to wear the button badge and the DM’s is the bearded straight guy, who upon closer inspection has coloured nail varnish, finishing off his predominantly normal rugged attire. But not just in allegiance with a trend or movement. No, I suspect more in support of changing times. This being the more important socio-political side of expression and the legacy of non-conformity. How there is in fact, more power in a wider distilled consumption of a movement than there is, in a smaller but more evangelical group, who of course need to come first. But the power is in the wider spread of acceptance. We’re now selecting from one large digital platform of pick and mix, and somewhere during our unwitting transition to more choice, we have adopted a tone more of one tribe, rather than tribes. But this time bigger than rave and Mad-chester. It’s global. Because of the internet, influence just moves faster, and that’s a vital difference between now and the 80’s when my story began. Sure there will always be interesting subcultural movements, but they are only globally smaller when reported on, because they are an alchemy of choice and influence. Ironically, if there was a distinctly new movement, it would go global very quickly now, but it would need to touch a global zeitgeist to appear predominant in most the average persons view. And global politics make more of a tone of grey over the more vibrant colours — which localised cultural recipes make, basically because of country zoned politics. What has in fact happened is: accessibility has dulled definition. Commercially informed Rock & Roll is dead, because the signals are many. The palette is muddied. Everyone has individuality rather than a tribe as expression and rebellion; which now (in historic retrospect and scale) will appear, domestically small. So what’s wrong with this new individualised type of non-tribal expression? surely it’s democracy? Well yes, by some data driven academic definition, perhaps. But as far as rock & roll is concerned, it feels like the forefathers of broken ground have been compressed deep, into the foundations of what is now the tower of ‘babel-meh’. What’s changed There’s a sexual energy behind most expression of the self, via fashion, music, and the arts. Except now we have the larger more societal issues surrounding biological identity at the forefront of cultural discourse, like something we have finally arrived at, which isn’t theatre. For many hundreds of thousands of people, the lava of this pain has worked it’s way up through the solid strata of conservative prejudice and societal structure, until only recently, finally breaking the surface of the mainstream plaza. Identity still has the common thread, just much more serious than a jacket you can put away in the back of the wardrobe once the trend has passed. But still something that’s always been present in society. The 1920’s tried hard to give a stage to the normalising of gender fluidity, and challenging the accepted norms of gender stereotypes, especially in the more liberated European city’s like Berlin and Paris, but this was lost from the public eye, once the lens of the times pulled away from the clubs, and the explosion of post war celebration, and began focusing once again on industry and commerce. Now with just my finger barely in the air, I’d say this generation will be known for sexual revolution. By definition but only in the term alone, not too dissimilar to the 1960’s. Our now youth movements, obviously not informed by the previous generation at all, in fact more like the alternative revolts we’ve seen between decades before. Like a ticking clock, probably the largest expression of this generation, will be the gender conversation. The defining youth realisation and movement of the times we are living in. I suspect that sexual identity will undoubtedly define youth culture of this generation. When Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood opened their shop on the Kings road, it was 1974. A shy teenager would have had to pluck some courage up to go in there. The fashion of British Punk was deliberatly intimidating. Although interestingly, the legacy of a movement is actually cultivated in securing the young fan base early, which is more of a commercial and cynical reaction to true movements. And Malcolm McLaren was no stranger to having a commercial ulterior thought stream. But as far as the SEX shop was concerned, this place was the base of a revolution, also paying the rent. There’s a difference, and that difference does in fact define Rock & Roll in its purest form. Some of the committed serving staff in the shop had a strong androgynous feel to their appearance — part of the more photographed high end of the punk culture. Malcolm McLaren knew how to provoke the status quo, he was a master at it. However cynical the keen minded business observer would like to view his orchestration of a scene, which invariably always feathered his own nest; he still opened a huge resource in rock & roll iconography for hundreds of future artists to draw from. And besides, there will always be business behind trend. Music, uniform, and drugs aside Rock & Roll is also very associated with attitude, with ‘an attitude’. What if now, it’s exactly NOT these three things defining the modern version of Rock &Roll? Maybe in the modern sea of the high numbered equation, working it’s algorithm as hard as the end times illuminati demand of it — the individual with a genuinely unswayable fuck you, is the modern embodiment of Rock & Roll? — Just not necessarily having a social media presence, and listening to something so left of centre, they are always lapping the trend before it happens. And in trying to answer the question of this essay, we have observed, the overriding zeitgeist of the times is choice; the individual who consciously has less to choose from, will have a clearer and quickened view of their own wants and needs — surely they are the true spirit of opposition to the times we are living in. But here’s the thing, in order to rebel against the digital sea of grey and all your needless prayers being answered, under the pressure of your preciously manicured fingers, is a person who is no longer Rock & Roll by being tribal. They are simply fitting into the mixed media of a lesser tribal society. The guy who sits next to you on your morning commute, he’s wearing a suit, he’s got tidy hair, but he may be formulating very different perspectives on the world around him than you might imagine. After all, this isn’t the 1950’s anymore. One thing there’s little need to rebel against now is: a patriarchally operating society. Misogyny and a clear division between the sexes and roles is out. And we’ve moved on much further than the boomers realise. However, the last bastion of a traditionally operating society could well be ‘going to work’, and I bet that guy in the suit sat next to you on the train, his Rock & Roll might be: getting to a place where he can dial his hours in remotely, and do more of what he wants. And that might not be the new conventional version of Rock & Roll we later look back on, but the zeitgeist of attitude which rebelled against the assumption of the status quo — in turn, defining the new Rock & Roll. Or at least a large percentage of it. So, if that’s the new Rock & Roll (thank you very much) Let’s take a sneak peak at the next generation’s version of Rock & Roll. Which, if my prediction is right, might well expose the current model as a trap. Especially if Jonathan Taplin’s train of thought in his novel ‘The End of Reality’ has anything to do with it; a world where Thiel, Musk, Zuckerberg and Andreessen, are pulling the majority of the ‘large global influence strings’ albeit Bond villain intention or not, it doesn’t matter, it’s commerce they’re involved in. And if commerce is going to kill your dreams, Rock & Roll has always been there to point that out. That is one defining element of Rock & Roll which has not yet changed and is here to stay. So, turn the new definition of Rock & Roll on its head and will there be a world at some point in the future where, true rebellion lies in keeping a family together? Doing simple things, sitting down to eat as a family, bringing the elderly back to live with you…going off grid. A more simple life (and strangely) one with older family values, but through a completely re-polarised lens of realising we don’t want to be locked into a controlled world of the individual, the selfish new age. I believe the next phase of rebellion will look like regression to those who will agree to the implanted chip in their head. Some people may really have to hide in the woods in order to reclaim old values. There are plenty of examples of this type of rebellion already. You only need a common or garden instagram account to see how sellable ‘living off grid’ already is; obviously those who have truly escaped, don’t post, you’re only looking at the product endorsed version. But those who are posting are perhaps unwittingly prophesizing something to those who, in the near future, will be forced to do, in order not to become marked by the beast. The ultimate Rock & Roll: ‘not to become a walking bank account’. A denial of financial systems, also a strong code in the DNA of Rock & Roll. Plenty to think about — and if like many others reading, your Rock & Roll is putting your favourite record on, and turning up the volume, then screaming “fuck you!!” until the neighbours call the police, that’s cool. Or maybe, like me, your Rock & Roll lies in the awakening of your mind; in which case, reach for your headphones and quietly consider your next move. But don’t tell everyone, the woods aren’t that big.

Since 2008.	en	/favicon-32x32.png	The AU Review	https://www.theaureview.com/music/interview-andy-scott-sweet/	You’ve definitely heard Sweet, even if the name doesn’t ring a bell. With iconic hits like “Ballroom Blitz” and “Fox On The Run” and a mammoth career spanning over fifty years, Sweet has navigated a tumultuous history. Yet throughout all the spinoff groups, the revolving door of band members, and the multiple hiatuses, one constant has remained: Andy Scott. Joining the band in 1970 during their bubblegum pop era, Scott played a pivotal role in transforming their sound towards heavy rock. Their chart-topping hits have been featured in blockbuster films like Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy and continue to be the soundtrack to countless good times. This October and November, Sweet will return to Australia one last time for their Farewell Tour, playing a whopping thirteen shows. I had the pleasure of sitting down with guitarist and original member Andy Scott, and as a long-time listener, it was a joy to hear him speak so fondly of the band and share wonderful memories in anticipation of their Aussie shows. Sweet has been through many changes with an ever-changing line-up and a few hiatuses, but through it all, you’ve remained a constant. What has kept you going all these years? I think the music seems to have legs, which I’m really glad about. It’s also being picked up by film and TV these days, so we find ourselves in some wild scene. They’ll usually put us in where there’s some violence, you know. There was a brilliant one in a TV series a few years back where they burst into this place and arrested this guy in a nightclub and they’re marching him out to the tune of “Blockbuster”, and it was perfect. And of course, Guardians of the Galaxy – it was very, very nice to be involved with that. Looking way back to when you first joined the band, was there any part of you that would ever have thought you’d still be doing this now? Well, there’s one quick answer- no. None of us did. When I first joined, The Sweet had been together for a year and a half, and they were at a point where if something didn’t happen, they would probably all be looking at trying something else. They wanted us to be a pop band because Brian Connolly was the driving force back then and he looks like a pop star, you know. And I did say to him when I first joined, ‘I’m so glad none of your earlier singles was a hit because I think that would have been the only hit you ever had,’ and that’s not talking about me, that’s talking about the way things were in the very late 60s. There were lots of bands that had big hits-like The Love Affair with Everlasting Love, and they didn’t want to be part of that. Luckily, we met these two songwriters – Chinn and Chapman, who were just penning fantastic, easy hits. And even though that was not really what we wanted to do, when you’ve been close with certain things and it hasn’t quite happened, you tend to look at the bigger picture and say, ‘If we do this, can we change to this?’ Status Quo – they started off as one type of band and moved on. Fleetwood Mac started off as one type, and I think Sweet were probably the next band to be an ultra-pop band that turned into a glam rock band and then a progressive rock band. My dad grew up with your music, I grew up listening to your music and now my kids are growing up listening to your music- when did you realise that you guys were going to be one of the classics? Well, Mick Tucker and I went on the road in ’84/’85 and the first tour that we did was Australia. We came over there and we toured every bar, every ballroom. In fact, the tour was called The Bar Room Blitz. We were supposed to be there for five weeks, but we were there for nine or ten. We just didn’t go home, we just kept touring, and it was fun. It set the scene for many more to come. You see younger people in the audience and you immediately start to think of it as a ‘no, dad!’ situation- that the kid’s been dragged to the show going ‘no, dad, no!’ But then you realise that they know the songs and they’re singing along. And I think the internet has been a wonderful thing, from that point of view… It’s broadened the scope of musicians and people who want to listen to music and find things. You can find videos of old bands that you thought were long forgotten.. so I’d say that from a music point of view, it must be fantastic being young. But on the other side of that, the problem is trying to find something original today, it’s difficult…I take my hat off to the Ed Sheeran’s of this world. Speaking of, are there any current artists that you enjoy listening to? Well, bands come and go, and I’ll hear a song on the radio and think, ‘Yeah, who’s that?’ But, no, I’m afraid my iTunes account has become quite stagnant recently. After all this time, do you genuinely still enjoy making and performing music? I don’t think you should do things that you don’t enjoy. I’ve said that if you don’t enjoy something, why are you doing it? I understand that a lot of people don’t have a choice and they might end up working in a situation that they don’t really enjoy, but it pays enough for them to live properly- I do understand that. But, you see, I come from a family that was fairly encouraging… I was very lucky. It was a hobby- a bit more than a hobby, I found out that people enjoyed what I did and we moved on from there, and all of a sudden it was a profession, it was a career. You’re coming back Down Under one last time for your Farewell tour, what led to the decision to say goodbye now? Well, I need to clear this up- I said in an interview that I didn’t want to tour anymore and what I meant was those long two or three-month tours, living out of a suitcase and gigging five nights a week. I couldn’t do that now, my health is more important. So, tours like that I don’t want to do. When we go to Europe, we’ll do two or three shows, then take a week off, then do another two or three shows… But, coming to Australia- we’re doing a Rock The Boat gig first, leading up to the tour. And somebody came out of the woodwork and said, ‘Well, you’re here, why not do some dates?’ And we’ve been trying to do that, even though we’ve played some Rock The Boats in the past, we’ve been trying to get somebody to pick it up after the boat, and this time it’s worked. He’s put together about a dozen gigs, with days off in between… I think it’s a matter of time before some TV station wants us to get up at some god-awful hour, but we’ll do it, we’ll go on. As you mentioned, you’re doing quite a few shows while you’re here with some time off between each show, is there anything that you’re looking forward to doing while you’re here? It will be a bit more relaxing, but there are a couple of guys in my band who haven’t been there very often- if at all, so I think they will be doing a tour of the Opera House and all that kind of stuff. We were actually shown the Opera House in ’74 just before it opened, it was still a work in progress. This guy showed us around, and you could tell he didn’t really want to do it but someone said to him, ‘Oh, show The Sweet around, will you?’, so we’re having a look around and I said, ‘well, it won’t be long before you have bands like us playing here.’ And he looked at us and said, ‘Hopefully not in my lifetime’. And I have to thank Susie Quatro because we did the Opera House with her. We were the support act for her band, it was great. Looking back over your amazing fifty-plus years with Sweet, are there any key moments or memories that really stick out to you? Well, there’s too many. I’ve tried to blur the occasions where, you know, someone was threatening to call the police or something. I try to remember all the positive things. If I was to write a book, the publisher would say to me, ‘You’ve got to include this, you’ve got to include that’, but I’d have to say, ‘they’re still alive, mate! I’m not going to write about that.’ But, you know, I don’t think I will ever write a book now, everything is online. [One time we] went to Hartford in Connecticut…because it had been snowing, the roof collapsed on the basketball stadium next door and the gig was cancelled. Now, the weird thing about this was that the crew were thinking of putting the gear inside, and out of the truck, but they didn’t. And when we woke up in the morning at like 7am and looked out the window we thought ‘That doesn’t look right’. I remember phoning my manager who was with us and he went, ‘Yes. We’ve all seen it, don’t worry. Gig’s off.’ It was really quite funny, looking back.

I found this link quo.boards.net/thread/21443/story-quo-album-cover A little while back we were wondering who drew the Quo album cover - seeing as for so many of us it is a favourite; so I dug around on the internet and found out it was Dave Field. I contacted him, told him our MB had voted his album cover most popular, and asked him if he could tell us the story behind it - and today I got an email from Dave - here it is (I had told him I'd post the story):- " It was 1974 and I was designing various sleeves for Jack Wood, who was the Art Director for the Vertigo Record Label. I had just won a design award for The Sensational Alex Harvey Band's 'NEXT' album sleeve, with it's metal foil print technique, it was a bit of a innovation. I designed and or Illustrated for Vertigo..... Nazareth.....Razamanaz, Loud N' Proud. - Thin Lizzie.....Nightlife. - Alex Harvey.....Next, Tommorow Belongs to Me, Live. - Uriah Heep.....Return to Fantasy. - Black Sabbath.....Live at Last, Paranoid (revised single sleeve). - Manfred Mann...Nightingales and Bombers; to name but a few. Jack called me in to discuss a new album cover for Status Quo, with the working title of 'QUO'. I was pretty chuffed and it was agreed that it would be a good idea to spend a few days with the guys at The Windmill in Brixton to discuss the album concept, as it was where they were rehearsing for a week. After getting our heads together, Rick and Rossi fancied getting a bit of a Roger Dean style background shapes into the design and then combining my monochrome portrait drawings approach, they thought it might be an interesting mix. I studied and sketched the guys over a few days and came up with a draft of the album that finally evolved. I must say that having met a great number of famous musicians, personalities and celebrities in my time, the guys in Quo stand out as belonging to the more considerate, accommodating and generous of them. During my daily visits to The Windmill, I came dressed in my more outlandish of my fashion gear of the time and turned up in some jeans that I had modified from denim to multi coloured leather patchwork. Rick took a shine to them and on the last day I brought them along and gifted them to him on the proviso that he would wear them on stage. I never knew if he did this. I was however, amazed when I was paid for the album design and had a generous extra load of £'s given to me by Rick for the razzy jeans. I look back with affection at my time with Quo.

Just been knock out by that song...	en	/images/apple-touch-icon.png?v=2017a	Steve Hoffman Music Forums	https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/status-quo-best-comp.134399/	Hi maidenpriest, I used to like them in my youth back in the 70's, but don't care much for their music now. They're still very popular here in Holland and they draw quite a crowd in the more rural eastern part of the country, which is where most of their fans live, obviously. I only have one album - a comp that gives a good overview of all their records and hits IMO. It's called The very best of, but it has a different cover than their Whatever you want Best Of comp, which is readily available everywhere. The tracklisting of my comp is also slightly different, though not all that much. My 2cd doesn't have Accident prone, which was one of my favourites back in the day. When it comes to song selection, you really can't go wrong with that Whatever you want comp - judge for yourself by this link; http://www.amazon.co.uk/Whatever-You-Want-Very-Status/dp/B000006X92 If it's the same mastering as my comp (which is possible, I only bought it a year ago or so), the music doesn't really come off great sound-wise, but I guess that's also because of the recording itself. It struck me, though, that the sound is much better from the track Rocking all over the world onwards. But again, that's probably got to do with those recordings themselves. I remember that, at the time of the Rocking all over the world album (1977), it was the first time they hired an outside producer (Pip Williams) and their sound really improved in comparision to their earlier albums. For your interest, there's also this 3 CD comp that's only available as an import (from Holland). http://www.nl.bol.com/is-bin/INTERS...t?BOL_OWNER_ID=1000004003083233&Section=MUSIC Tracklisting seems ok too, and it comes with some nice bonuses on the third disc. Still, none of the comps I've seen seems to contain your favourite song Forty-five times. I guess most of their comps focus on the hit singles. There are approximately a gazillion status quo compilations (half of them featuring just material from their Pye years, so just the first four albums) so I doubt anyone apart from the most diehard fan would be able to give a comparison of all of them. Personally I wouldn’t bother with a comp at all – the quo’s albums between 1970-76 are incredibly underrated, and their continued recording activity since then has done much to tarnish their reputation. No they may never have been cool, but once upon a time they were one of the country’s, nay the world’s foremost rock bands. They weren’t just the comfortable rock/pop act that people see them as today, they really did rock out with the best of them. Just my opinion – not much help on the compilation front though, I’m afraid! if you look at my link above (have a look! it wont hurt you!) 4500 times is on disc three. though the song is about 10 minutes long and there's 18 songs on disc 3 so i dunno how they fitted it all on. hmmm...just listened to the clip and it sounds like the live version which is 16 mins long. anyways, i doubt there's another comp featuring the song. you could get the original album - 1973's Hello!, also featuriing Caroline - but for me, its their most tame album of their classic period, 4500 Times aside. If you like Caroline, and you know you like 4500 Times, you might as well go buy Hello! and then everything else from 1970-76 (77 including the live album). Dont fear the Quo! I did look at your link thanks for this reason you have stated i am supicious it is edited down also i love 'picture's of' which is not their? Although it doesn't contain "4500 Times", certainly the most fun compilation is 12 Gold Bars. Not only does the 80's CD of this sound great (kind of up there with the original CD of Queen's Greatest Hits - vinyl copies of 12 Gold Bars are variable), it is still available, for peanuts... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Twelve-Gold...4887858?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1197578019&sr=8-1 It would be a shame to overlook it. Mind you, once you get into the eighties, I'm definately the wrong person to ask about the Quo ... As for Pye compilations, grab any that contain Mean Girl, and version 2 of Gerdundula (both from "Dog Of Two Head" - not version 1, which was the B-Side of In My Chair). You need to hear these two songs at the very least. If you come across a "Castle Classics" copy of DOTH, that's the best sounding version. There was a PRT version which also sounded great, but it got the running order wrong, and was only in print for a couple of years, so is pretty scarse... Too right! Ma Kelly's is a great album, though if i'm being totally honest i think i prefer Spare Parts so to me its kind of dip but in light of what their change of direction turned them into i have no complaints whatsoever. Is It Really Me / Gotta Go Home is one of the greastest Quo songs of all time. In fact, one of the greatest rock songs of all time. and to think, early 70s live versions sometimes lasted for about 30 minutes! i was born 30 years too late..... i've just ordered another version of the Ma Kelly's album, the one with the BBC session bonus tracks. I have no idea how it will sound, but i dont care to be honest as im just after the session tracks. yep! i have heard a lot of rock music over my 36 years and that playing is very good, what would you call that style 'boogie rock'? i just wish the fans would stop doing that stupid 'drunk headbut' dance, but i guess that dance has a whole history to it, and for its time it was coooooollllll??

The album is presented in full with no commercials or interruptions. Founded as The Scorpions by schoolmates Francis Rossi and Alan Lancaster in London in 1962, the band would evolve into The Status Quo in 1967 before settling on simply Status Quo in 1969. Embracing the psychedelic era, the band had its first hit in 1967 with the trippy Pictures of Matchstick Men, which reached number seven in the UK and would be their only Top 40 hit in the US. In the early ’70s, with psychedelia becoming passé, Status Quo changed their sound to a more hard rock, blues influenced style. Their first two ’70s albums – Ma Kelly’s Greasy Spoon and Dog of Two Head – fared poorly commercially, and so the band left their record label Pye and signed with the more recognised Vertigo Records, which was at the forefront of hard rock and prog rock during this era. From their fifth album, 1972’s Piledriver, Status Quo began to self-produce their records, replicating the sound of their live shows. On Piledriver they developed a heavier sound that stopped just short of heavy metal. It began a sustained period of chart success that would continue into the 1980s. By 1976 the band were something of a phenomenon in Europe, though Stateside success continued to elude Status Quo. A sign of their popularity is the sponsorship deal they signed with jeans manufacturer Levi’s in the mid-70s. Quo’s ninth studio album, 1976’s Blue for You would be the last of their heavier albums. At this point the line-up consisted of Francis Rossi (guitar, vocals), Rick Parfitt (guitar, keyboards, vocals), Alan Lancaster (bass, guitar, vocals) and John Coghlan (drums). The quartet had developed the nickname of the “Frantic Four.” Joining them for the Blue for You sessions at London’s Phonogram Studios were pianist Andy Bown and harmonica player Bob Young. Musically, Blue for You sees the band continue to develop their distinctive boogie shuffle sound. Their roots in the 1960s blues scene are called back to on the melancholic title track, a respite from the speedy rockers that make up the bulk of the album. In its original release, Blue for You features nine tracks. On Side A are Is There a Better Way; Mad About the Boy; Ring of a Change; Blue for You; and Rain. On Side B are Rolling Home; That’s a Fact; Ease Your Mind; and Mystery Song. Released in March 1976, Blue for You debuted at number one on the UK album chart, holding its position for three weeks. Released as a single, Rain peaked at number seven and was later followed by Mystery Song, which reached number 11. The album would sell over 100,000 copies in the UK, France and Spain, and over 150,000 in Australia. Status Quo would soon enter their most commercially successful period with the release of Rockin’ All Over the World, but Blue for You sees the band at the peak of their hard rock era. You can hear it in full at midnight tonight on Radio Nova.

On screen, the Status Quo frontman’s mouth is moving but no sound is coming out. Attempts to fix the problem are waved off. It goes on like this for 30 seconds. Then it dawns: he’s doing his Marcel Marceau impression. “I like to mess with people,” he says with a grin, dropping the comedy mime act. “I’ve got to keep myself entertained.” That’s fair enough – he’s been entertaining Quo fans for 55 years now, even if he’s the last original member left standing. Early 2000s Quo albums Heavy Traffic and Riffs have just been reissued. What was it like being in the band at that point? It was good fun, particularly doing Heavy Traffic. There are times when you’re aware that the public go off you en masse, then something happens and it’s all great again. That was a period when we were okay. Does it annoy you, coming in and out of fashion like that? It annoys me and it hurts somewhat. One of the things that made me agree to do [Quo’s 2019 album] Backbone was the amount of naysayers. When we split from Alan [Lancaster, original bassist] years ago, people said: “They’ll be no good without him.” That made Rick [Parfitt, guitarist] and I dig our fucking heels in. Same thing when Rick died: “No good? Well try this, then.” But acts come in and out of fashion all the time. The Stones, Reggie… Reggie? Elton John. I’m not supposed to call him that because he gets upset, but I can’t help it, that’s what I know him as. I remember years ago, we bumped into him coming out of the studio that Pye Records had. He’d just done a cover of Down The Dustpipe for one of those cheap albums they put out. And three weeks later he was this megastar. Brilliant songwriter. He once said to us: “I wish I could write them rock songs like you do.” I just went: “What? Don’t be silly Reg, for fuck’s sake.” Sir Elton John, Sir Rod Stewart, Sir Mick Jagger. Are you jealous that it’s not Sir Francis Rossi? If you want the truth, just before we got the gong [in 2010, Rossi and Parfitt received OBEs for services to music], I was told by a certain individual that we were due for the other gong [a knighthood]. And Rick was a naughty boy, as usual. Whenever it was imperative that he behave, he couldn’t. I can’t tell you what he did, but it wasn’t particularly good. So it was a case of: “You can’t have that one, but you can have this one instead.” You gave up smoking dope a few years ago. Was it easier than quitting booze and cocaine? Booze and cocaine were easy. I never liked drinking much anyway – didn’t like the taste. With cocaine, we were in Nassau [in the Bahamas], and you would not believe how easy it was to get hold of coke out there. One day I thought: “I’m not going to have any toot until the night before a day off.” And then I ended up thinking: “No,I’ll wait until the next time I have a day off.” And I just got into a routine of not having it. Dope was harder. I miss it, but I daren’t do it now. It’s so strong now I’m frightened of it. You did some spoken-word shows over the last couple of years, on the back of your autobiography I Talk Too Much. Did you enjoy them? Immensely. I realised that I do like to talk. I’d like to do more of them in the future. But then again, it’s weird me saying: “What I hope we can do…” Where the fuck do you think you’re going, you’re seventythree?! Part of me wonders if I should slow down, but I have a fear just like everyone else: how will I finance my old age? We’ve got all the various crises coming, and I can’t help worrying about that. You auctioned off a beloved Telecaster for £125,000 a few years ago. Did you treat you and the wife to a nice holiday? No, I gave a bit to charity, a load to tax… It just disappears into the system. You say ‘beloved’, but only to a point. It was getting difficult to tune, and the best way of stopping me from hanging on to it was to sell it. If you’d told me in the early seventies that I’d sell something for a hundred and twenty-five grand I’d have said: “Don’t be fucking silly. If you had that kind of money you’d retire.” Of course, you can’t retire on that these days. Speaking of retirement, original Quo drummer John Coghlan is playing some farewell dates. Is there part of you… No. …that fancies getting on stage with him one last time? No, is the answer. I wish John all the best, but I can’t do that shit. It feels maudlin to me. Do you miss Rick and late Quo bassist Alan Lancaster? I miss that thing you have when you’re a young band and it’s you against the world. Obviously there were rough times even then, but there was something pioneering to it all: [makes fanfare noise] “Da-da-daaaahh! Here we go!” I miss my relationship with Rick in the early days. But then you get older and you become successful and you change, no matter what people say. What got to Rick was that it wasn’t enough for him. He wanted to be where I was standing. Have you got another Status Quo album in you? We’ve got one in us. Whether we’ll do one or not, I don’t know. What’s stopping you? Spotify. It’s even worse than it was when we were all getting ripped off in the sixties. It makes you sound mercenary saying it, but it’s something we’ve sweated over and they’re giving you a quarter of a penny per stream? Fuck you. So do I think there’ll be another Status Quo album? No, I don’t.

So, what do they do? They release another covers album…honestly guys, really? There’s been a trend in recent years, which isn’t particularly welcome, of bands rerecording their own songs or putting out cover albums of their “favourite” songs (usually the same “favourite” songs of every other band on the planet). The Quo did both on one album! Spinning the original fifteen-track incarnation of ‘Riffs’ was actually far less painful than I’d imagined it might be. In all honesty, new versions of ‘Whatever You Want’, ‘Rockin’ All Over The World’ and especially ‘Caroline’ seem vaguely pointless, while ‘Junior’s Wailing’ fairs a little better. ‘Caroline’ is especially unfortunate, the Quo policy of adding keys to everything, and smoothing out all the rough edges, makes for a pretty painful listen. Moving on to the choice of covers we find a pretty mixed bag. For the most part, Rossi and co give the songs a good Quoing (apologies to the spell checker). A workman-like version of ‘I Fought The Law’ fails to hit the spot before the guys try on ‘Born To Be Wild’ for size which works much better despite it being a song we've all heard a million times. Andy Bown has a ball adding the necessary amount of swirling organ to the Steppenwolf classic. Is that my foot tapping? A faithful rendition (with added harmonica) of the BTO classic ‘Takin’ Care Of Business’ keeps things rolling along nicely. Next up, ‘Wild One’, the old rock n’ roll tune popularized by Iggy Pop, seems a very strange choice. The Quo version sounds more like Iggy with a dash of Billy Idol than Quo. Luckily, Quo are soon back on safe ground for the harmonica-drenched boogie of Canned Heat’s ‘On The Road Again’, which would have been a little better if they’d had the strength of their convictions and jammed it out. ‘Tobacco Road’ is gone in a flash, which is fine by me as the David Lee Roth version is definitive to my ears for which I make no apologies. A sprightly run-through of J. Geils ‘Centerfold’ is great fun though. ‘All Day and All Of The Night’ is fine for what it is, but it’s a terribly overplayed song. Far better is a faithful version of ‘Don’t Bring Me Down’ that somewhat surprisingly, suits Quo down to the ground (no pun intended). The Quo do blot their copybook a little with a version of Elvis Costello’s ‘Pump It Up’ that is slightly redeemed by the verve with which they attack the tune. Overall ‘Riffs’ is probably far better than it has any right to be and It had a few nice moments that made me smile and my foot tap. Would I play 'Riffs' again when I could listen to the original tracks? Probably not. This new 2 Disc deluxe release features three bonus tracks on disc one released as singles to promote the ‘XS – Greatest Hits’ set. ‘You’ll Come Round’ and ‘Thinking Of You’ (complete with bagpipe guitars) + single B-Side ‘Lucinda’ that is heads down, old-school Quo and probably too good to be languishing as a B-Side. If you purchased ‘Riffs’ back in the day you probably have a copy with a bonus DVD, so you’ll want to keep that one, but this new deluxe edition should be a worthy addition to the collection. This time out the second disc is a CD with a further smattering of B-sides and a lengthy (6.46) live, unreleased alternate version of ‘Caroline’. The majority of disc two is a live show from the Montreux Jazz Festival on July 4th, 2004, where the Quo plough through classics such as ‘Rain’, ‘Roll Over, Lay Down’ and ‘Down Down’ and, in typical Quo style, throw in a medley (or two) to remind us how good a live band they are/were. ‘Riffs’ is released on September 30th alongside the deluxe ‘Heavy Traffic’.

I can still remember checking out the record bins and laying my eyes on a 1972 album by a group that I'd never heard before called Status Quo. The album was called Piledriver. Did it ever look rockin': I snapped that sucker up and took it home and spent many an hour transfixed by its straightforward guitar-boogie. I was especially fond of a song called "Big Fat Mama", which was fast and then slow and then fast again and went on for like six minutes or so. Thoroughly impressed, the following year I picked up the band's Hello! album, which was just as good if not better. All the songs were basically the same, but that didn't bother me none. I was also a fan of AC/DC. Still, after the band's next album, 1974's Quo, I kinda stopped loving it. Maybe my straightforward guitar-boogie phase had run its course. But if you're one of those hardcore Quo fans who never tired of that sound--there's quite a few still living in Britain, I believe--you may be happy to hear that Universal Music will release a four-CD boxed set titled Status Quo Live! in September. Those hardcore Quo fans might own half of the 35-track set already, though, since it's first two discs comprise the same Live! album previously issued way back in '77. The other two discs are Tokyo Quo, a Japan-only release that was released on vinyl in the UK for Record Store Day this year, and Australia '74, which features 13 previously unreleased live performances recorded in Sydney. The good news is that the package--which includes a 36-page booklet with extensive notes and rare photos--boasts no less than three different live versions of "Big Fat Mama". That's a whole lotta mama!

Experience the evolution of her iconic sound and empowering lyrics.	en	https://i.forbesimg.com/48X48-F.png	Forbes	https://www.forbes.com/sites/entertainment/article/beyonce-albums/	TABLE OF CONTENTS Almost every Beyoncé fan you speak to will tell you that every Beyoncé album has a distinct DNA and represents an era in time. Over the course of her two-decade solo career, the singer has experimented with different sounds and genres, all while fine-tuning her craft and expanding her legacy. As fans have come to observe, part of this process has included occasionally crossing over to other genres that haven’t traditionally defined her signature sound. Recently, the singer made headlines for yet another genre-defying upcoming project, and ahead of that release, we have compiled all her albums in order of their release and rank. Beyoncé's Discography While her Destiny’s Child days set the tone for her career, Queen Bey’s vast influence on R&B and pop music did not become as evident as it is now until she became a solo artist in 2003. From her early beginnings performing at the now-defunct 106 & Park to amassing a net worth of $800 million and being the most Grammy-awarded artist of all time, the Houston native has proven that her legacy is far-reaching. Although the singer has been known to keep a low profile and channel her impressions into the music, her journey hasn’t been without its controversies. More recently, her highly publicized decision to release an upcoming country album raised some brows. For critics, the singer’s decision to dabble in country music is uncharted territory for her, but ardent fans have argued that she is all too familiar with the genre and even released a track called “Daddy Lessons” on her critically acclaimed Lemonade. Beyoncé's Albums In Release Order From her debut album to her latest masterpiece, each Beyoncé album seems like a careful curation of her career trajectory and her impressions of it at the time. Forbes compiled a run-down of each of these Beyoncé albums by order of release date. Beyoncé (2013) Lemonade (2016) Renaissance (2022) B'Day (2006) Dangerously In Love (2003) I Am... Sasha Fierce (2008) 4 (2011) The Lion King: The Gift (2019) Cowboy Carter (2024) Beyoncé's Albums Ranked As it seems to go for many artists, there has been an ongoing debate about which Beyoncé era has produced her best work sonically. While there is no cut-and-dry answer to this debate, there seems to be a general consensus about how fans have ranked the singer’s albums over the years. Many of the rankings have been based on how well the album did commercially, as well as how the singer’s target audience responded to the music releases. Over the years, several Beyoncé albums on the compilation have served as a time capsule and helped to define the musical palettes of several eras. Music continues to evolve, and it is up to artists to create music that conforms to the times while maintaining their signature sound. Forbes compiled a run-down of each of these Beyoncé albums and the artistic direction that inspired each release. 9. The Lion King: The Gift (2019) On the heels of Afrobeats becoming a global musical force, Beyoncé released The Lion King: The Gift, a body of work that also doubled as a soundtrack for The Lion King remake. The album featured an array of notable African artists who appeared in various songs, including Wizkid, Burna Boy, Tiwa Savage and Shatta Wale, among others. In an interview with Good Morning America, Beyoncé said that she wanted the album to be a tribute to the African continent. “This soundtrack is a love letter to Africa, and I wanted to make sure we found the best talent from Africa and not just use some of the sounds and did my interpretation of it," Beyoncé said. "We've kind of created our own genre, and I feel like the soundtrack, it becomes visual in your mind. It's a soundscape. It's more than just the music because each song tells the story of the film.” 8. 4 (2011) In 4, a 28-year-old Beyoncé took a more sultry approach. Many of the tracks on the album’s R&B tracklist were laden with love songs with varying tempos and underscored Beyoncé's ability to carry a song, regardless of its genre. The precision and artistry in empowerment anthems like “Run the World” coincided with the catchy tunes of “Love on Top” and the well-engineered “Start Over,” however, overall, the album leaned heavily into mid- to no-tempo tracks. Although 4 is arguably one of Bey’s more subdued albums, it still charted a path for her legacy. The album won the R&B Album of the Year at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards. 7. I Am … Sasha Fierce (2008) Beyoncé’s alter ego, Sasha Fierce, was born with the release of the album I Am … Sasha Fierce. Fans would later learn that the larger-than-life, unabashed, and ultra-energetic persona was a far cry from who Beyoncé is in real life. Her third studio album, in many ways, was her way of introducing Sasha to the world. In an interview with Oprah, Beyoncé opened up about how her alter ego influenced her music at the time. “Usually when I hear the chords when I put on my stilettos. Like the moment right before when you're nervous," she said. “Then Sasha Fierce appears, and my posture and the way I speak and everything is different.” The music videos that accompanied this 2008 release were characterized by a laid-back, monochrome, and more subdued visual, compared to B’Day. Sonically, the album drew inspiration from pop, rock and electro-pop in a way that underscored Bey’s vocal ability and artistic flexibility. Some of the notable songs on this album include “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” and “Diva,” which are still considered classics. Upon its release, I Am…Sasha Fierce debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Although she was 27 when the album was released, her mastery of various musical styles, including ballads, soulful throwbacks, and up-tempo numbers formed the core of this album. Other fan-favorite songs from the album included “If I Were a Boy,” “Halo,” and “Sweet Dreams.” 6. Dangerously In Love (2003) Most artists who venture out of groups to become independent entertainers face a lot of scrutiny and relabeling. Beyoncé’s Dangerously In Love propelled music listeners to pay closer attention to her body of work. Ultimately, the album served the quintessential goal of any inaugural solo release: to get the public’s respect and attention outside of a group setting. On songs like “Baby Boy,” the singer, who was only 21 years old at the time, showed incredible creative gusto by teaming up with Sean Paul for the dancehall-infused song which also had elements of reggae and house music, but she also reached back into her Destiny's Child roots with songs like “Dangerously In Love” and “Me, Myself and I,” which reminded fans of her vocal ability without being too predictable. Notable guest appearances on the body of work included features from top rapper Jay-Z, Big Boi and Missy Elliott. A year after its release, the album appropriately won a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary R&B Album. At the time, rumors that she had been romantically linked with Jay-Z began to surface, and that partly fueled the intrigue surrounding the album’s release. 5. B’Day (2006) After Beyoncé officially became a solo act in 2003, not many people were sure about what to expect from the singer. For the first decade of her early career in Destiny’s Child, she had been known as the vocal powerhouse, but a solo career was unfamiliar to fans. Regardless, the “Ring the Alarm” singer did not disappoint, and to date, B’Day, her sophomore album, is regarded by many as the singer’s defining album because it has all of the elements of who Bey has come to represent sonically. The body of work, which was released on her 25th birthday, sold a little over 541,000 copies in its first week and won an award for the “Best Contemporary R&B Album” at the 49th Annual Grammy Awards. Some of the genres that defined B’Day were R&B, pop and hip-hop. At the time, Beyoncé’’’ was rumored to be dating Jay-Z, so when he was featured on “Upgrade U” and “Déjà Vu,” pop culture as a whole was intrigued. In 2007, Beyoncé re-issued B'Day Anthology Video Album, along with the Deluxe Edition, which featured 13 music videos that saw Bey donning several outfits in her signature honey blonde updo, complete with sultry, high-tempo choreography and memorable costumes. 4. Renaissance Act I (2022) It is common for artists to evolve over the course of their careers and Beyoncé’s Renaissance is the perfect example of that. Apart from being the pinnacle that ushered in a bedazzling half-a-billion-dollar tour payday, the album also showcased Beyoncé at the height of her artistic evolution as an artist who refuses to settle into a singular mode for too long. The multi-genre nature of the album is evident throughout the playlist and is highlighted throughout the album’s tracklist. While Renaissance was well-received with records like “Break My Soul” defining the summer of 2022, commercially the album did not do as well as her other bodies of work with 190,000 units sold in its first week. Although the album is a comprehensive compilation of the singer’s ability to take risks, it also opened up a bitter-sweet conversation among the Beyhive when the Grammy Awards seemed to snub the album yet again for Album of the Year. 3. Lemonade (2016) At its core, Lemonade becomes a revelatory discourse that gave listeners a front-row seat to Beyoncé, the person, and not necessarily the global superstar. The album transcends mere musical expression and is a poignant display of some of her innermost vulnerabilities, which fans had never seen in that form before. What made the album stand out was the raw energy that Queen Bey seemed to pour into the record, including references to a certain “Becky With The Good Hair,” a catchphrase that referenced Jay-Z’s alleged mistress at the time and became the go-to phrase for “side chicks.” Even more poignant was the album’s references to race and Beyoncé’s Black womanhood, a reference that many of her fans were not quite prepared for. At its core, the album shifted beyond the boundaries of conventional music at the time and reflected the intricacies and nuances of modern relationships, race, lust and love. The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry reported that Lemonade was the world’s best-selling album in 2016. 2. Beyoncé (2013) A self-titled album is pretty ordinary for many artists who have reached the pinnacles of their careers, but Beyoncé's fifth studio album, Beyoncé, was anything but ordinary. In her documentary, Life Is But a Dream, Beyoncé made some comments about the music industry at the time, saying, “People don't make albums anymore. They just try to sell a bunch of little quick singles. And they burn out, and they put out a new one, and they burn out, and they put out a new one,” she said. Less than a year after she released the documentary, she would go on to release her fifth studio offering, a surprise album, Beyoncé, which would become a paradigm shift that re-defined digital streaming and music releases. The album, which was also dubbed “The Visual Album,” had a tapestry of 17 music videos to accompany each song, a move that is unheard of in the music industry. Unsurprisingly, the album was a raving commercial success and within only three days, sold over 617,000 copies in the United States and was labeled the fastest-selling album in the history of the iTunes Store at the time. Pop-culture critics believe that the release of this album and its critical acclaim solidified Beyoncé as a pop-culture icon. The body of work garnered her three Grammy awards for Best R&B Performance, Best R&B Song for “Drunk in Love,” and also a Grammy award for Best Surround Sound. 1. Cowboy Carter (2024) With Cowboy Carter, Beyoncé plunges fans into the heart of the Deep South in a way that only she can, evoking the region's raw essence with its rich blend of country and soulful elements. When Queen Bey said this was not a country album but a Beyoncé album, she meant it. Everything from the fusion of twangy guitars to the soul-stirring vocals and poignant storytelling gives listeners a heartfelt welcome into the South’s cultural tapestry. Miley Cyrus’s sonic contribution to the album “II Most Wanted” is reminiscent of aged whiskey and carries a smoky and mature quality that resonates with the rest of the album. The interpolation of Dolly Parton’s prelude to Bey’s version of “Jolene” might just be the most colorful reimagination of the classic song through a contemporary lens we have seen. In “Ameriican Requiem,” the Houston native sends a not-so-subtle reminder to harsh critics that she embodies the essence of country music, all while flexing her vocal muscles on hymn-like melodies that soar with emotional resonance. All in all, Beyoncé's masterful command of the genre challenges the status quo and is an audacious masterpiece that brings her three-decade career into a full-circle moment. Is Beyoncé Coming Out With Any New Albums? After the release of Cowboy Carter, Beyoncé does not have any albums expected in the immediate future. As for her current discography, whether ranked chronologically or based on commercial success, Beyoncé's albums offer a nuanced soundscape describing her artistic evolution. From chart-topping successes to moments of artistic experimentation, her discography is no monolith; instead, it is a sacred offering to the world of one of the things she clearly holds near and dear: her art.

For me, Meat Loaf's music has always held a special place in my heart. From a little child going through my dad's record collection and discovering the Bat Out of Hell record with the totally cool looking motorcycle on the cover. I would soon listen to the album and realize what a masterpiece it was from beginning to end. Fast forward many years later to 1993 and I'm in high school. Also See: New York Named One of the Most Cultured States I was probably the only sophomore at Dover Jr/Sr High School that was excited about a new Meat Loaf record coming out. This would mean that he was mounting a comeback, which would also mean that a world tour would follow and that I'd be able to finally get to see the man live in concert. I would be a first day record buyer, buying Bat Out of Hell 2: Back into Hell at the Book and Record store at the Putnam Plaza in Carmel, NY. The album would become a huge commercial success hitting number 1 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart that year, and eventually going on to sell over 14 million copies worldwide. The single "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)" would reach number 1 in 28 countries and would earn Meat Loaf a Grammy Award for Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance in 1994. I would also get to finally see Meat Loaf in 1994 on the Bat Out of Hell 2: Back into Hell Tour at Hartford Civic Center in Hartford, CT. It will always be one of my favorite concerts that I had the chance to attend. Meat Loaf sounded awesome as did his band The Neverland Express. Getting to meet the man many years later would be one of the highlights of my life. A chance encounter when I went to see Bat Out of Hell The Musical in New York City in 2019. Celebration of Meat Loaf Show Playing Paramount Theatre in Middletown Meat Loaf's backing band The Neverland Express includes world-class alumni of Meat Loaf’s official band. Led by his Record Producer, Music Director, Guitarist, Paul Crook with drummer, John Miceli, guitarist, Randy Flowers and female lead vocalist, Lyssa Lynne, the band stays true to the original recordings while delivering the excitement of a live Meat Loaf show. In addition to a #1 album and touring with some of the biggest names in rock, Caleb Johnson is the winner of American Idol season 13. He delivers his own unique stamp to the Meat Loaf classics while staying true to the essence of Meat Loaf’s delivery. Created & produced by Paul Crook, this is the only show that was officially endorsed by Meat Loaf.

Admittedly this is based on a hazy memory of a March 1981 show on the ‘Never Too Late tour. In those days, the Quo were a British institution as the classic line-up of Rossi, Parfitt, Lancaster and Coghlan were revered by fans and could be relied upon for no-nonsense hard rock of the highest order. It wasn’t overly complicated, but they had the songs; it was loud, it was sweaty, and that was good enough for me. Unfortunately, my love of all things Quo was brief as post ’82 Quo were a mere shadow of their former selves and had a string of pretty terrible records to prove it. This string of less than satisfactory albums reached its nadir with ‘Famous In The Last Century’. This was one covers album too many for the majority of fans (or possibly not). The band readily admitted a rethink was required, and with songwriter Bob Young returning to the fold to help with the tunes, Quo were ready to give it another go. Listening to ‘Heavy Traffic’ twenty years on, the album certainly has its moments and marks the beginning of Quo’s resurgence as a recording band. The band had never lost its ability to sell concert tickets in the UK, Europe or even further afield, but you had the feeling the crowds were coming to hear the old tunes. Perhaps surprisingly, Rossi, Parfitt and co didn’t want to just play the hits and be branded a heritage act. It would have been the easy option as they already had forty years on the clock (Francis Rossi and original bassist Alan Lancaster formed their first band in 1962). The album opens with ‘Blues & Rhythm’ an infectious, feel-good, typically Quo tune that gets things off to a positive start. Unfortunately, three songs in and ‘The Oriental’ almost derails the entire record. A frankly embarrassing stomp that is supposedly amusing but, shall we say, seems misguided at best (and I’m being very polite here). After this massive misstep, things get back on track with ‘Creepin’ Up On You' (the only Rick Parfitt songwriting credit on the album) and the full-blown, heads down, pure Quoness of ‘Solid Gold’. At fourteen tracks, 'Heavy Traffic' is probably a couple of songs too long, but left turns like the acoustic-based ‘Green’, penned by Andy Bown, and the brooding closer ‘Rhythm of Life’ keep things interesting. For Quo fans struggling to survive on a diet of live albums, compilations and terrible covers for a decade, ‘Heavy Traffic’ must have been the best thing since denim was invented. Disc two is an odds and sods mix of B-sides, demos and the beginning of a live show from the Heavy Traffic tour at the Heitere Festival, 10th August 2003, that concludes on disc three of this set. Highlights include the oddly enjoyable ‘The Madness’, which seems to be two songs in one; equal parts straight-ahead boogie meets catchy pop with loads of ooh, ooh vocals on the chorus. Another B-side, ‘You Let Me Down’, all clanky piano and swirling organ, is a little bit odd and with an instrumental coda randomly tacked on the end, rather too long. Of the three demo tracks, I might even prefer the stripped-back ‘Solid Gold’ sans harmonica to the album version, while the acoustic-driven ‘Let’s Start Again’ is a fun oddity. ‘All Stand Up’ completes the demo trilogy but doesn’t offer anything new and is over a minute shorter than the finished track.. The live show takes a song or two to settle down soundwise (those splashy cymbals on ‘Caroline’ will loosen your fillings) as the vocals are lost initially, but these are minor quibbles and things soon settle down. Obviously happy with ‘Heavy Traffic’ Quo plough through four songs from the album in a row mid-set with ‘Solid Gold’ and ‘Creepin’ Up On You’ especially, sounding right at home alongside the old favourites. I've a feeling this deluxe set, which clocks in just shy of three hours, will find a place in the collections of many a Quo fan.

I hope you’re ready for some good old-fashioned rock. Because my guest today has been part of one of Britain’s longest running bands, a group that managed to notch up more chart hits than any rock band in the UK. Any idea who I’m referring to? Absolutely, it was status quo. And I’m very pleased to introduce you to the band’s original drummer John Coughlin, who today plays with his own band called John Copland’s quote, we did a little gig recently and it was great it what it is it’s playing some of that close stuff in my head and turn it into like a slightly different jazz feel. But it’s worked out very well. You’ve certainly come a long way, haven’t you? You’ve played every genre of music and your time. Yeah, I think I have well we go to what we call the Old Boys lunch twice a year in London and it’s all musicians from our past and I’ve played with lots of them and they still bang them as partners in crime there was also all sorts of different things and applied innovating and Eric Bell and all loads of different musicians and just so it was it was great. 2:12 You still as passionate about music as you were when you first set out? Yeah, I think so. I someone said that because on my website, there’s a little thing. So you know, John Coltrane is retiring. I actually hate that word. And I said, Don’t be silly. I’m not doing that. But I just still like playing and I think every musician will tell you that I think once you start playing, you enjoy it. If someone says to me, would you rather record or upload to a live audience? I’ve mentioned this many times. I’d rather do a live gig and be in a studio for days on end, you know, but having said that, as you know we’ve made obviously involved with 14 albums So Bob young Jama recently I didn’t realize I recorded some any. Now I want to talk to you about all of those albums. Explain to us how Matchstick Men came about because it was really a breakthrough hit wasn’t it? There was Francis Rossi wrote that a home and he said because the family were all there it was written in his toilet at home. 3:06 Men often say that’s where they do their best thinking yeah well I suppose is the only place to get a patient quiet you know literally go to a music room with a big lock on it 4:24 When you say that you’d prefer to be playing a live gig rather than in the recording studio? Why is that? What’s the rush that you get from playing in front of people are it’s just lovely that you know they all come to see you all comes through the bank rather, at the end they’ll share in the shouting and screaming for more. It’s a lovely feeling. It’s great. It’s like you’ve entertain those people for an hour and a half or two hours depending along the playbook. And it’s just so nice to say well that was nice to see you after the show and like you know shake and wonderful autograph or some and it is so nice and dark. Like being in studio. I remember when you did the call 5:00 albums, you know, like, I’d go to the hotel or whatever I’m trying to go to bed I have this song in my head, it’s been going around for hours. The same song. I mean, at times there’s recording it 20 doing 20 takes in finding out, we listen back to all the time, actually chose a second one. We didn’t need to buy all those others, some people prefer some guys prefer to be in the studio and be on the road. But I’d rather play live concert. I remember co recording in Holland many, many years ago. And we had this massive bang. Like I’m like a massive explosion. What the hell was that we stopped playing calls and the lights went out. And what happened I remember this, we walked outside, all the office, people that were in the studio, they’ll run outside. And what happened had been a thunderstorm. Their lightning hit a tree. And I could still pitch this tree in the outside the front doors, and the tree was black all down the middle is split in the middle of electricity went through the tree and under the ground. So we’re lucky we’ve got all the pieces, but I never forgotten that we wonder what it was it was repaired. We carried on, you know as you do. You’ll pretty young at the time were two wouldn’t take anything too seriously when we were younger. It’s only when you get a bit older that you realize the consequences that could have been talking about when you were younger. John, is it true that he left school at 15 to start an apprenticeship as a mechanic, but you attended drumming lessons under a guy called Lloyd Ryan who actually taught Phil Collins the drums at the at the time too. Is that right? Well, what happened was, my dad got me this job. And I spent I don’t know how many months there and I realized doing this job, but helping the mechanics out you get dirty filthy hands and greasy and covered in oil and many moons after that. I left and did something else and then 1968 6768 pitches and maximum man was recording released. And we ended up having to go up to Manchester and do some of the Pops. How did you get to play in the band anyway in the first place? When I was scored as a guy my Glasgow Steven Ainsworth’s and he said, John, you like aeroplane salsa? Yeah, especially military planes. He said, Well, don’t show the rest of the class. I’m in the Air Cadets Air Training Corps. And so we cycled up. They took me up there next weekend on our cycles. I met the commanding officer. I got measured up for a uniform. My dad was proud. My granddad is proud of how you know lovely. You’re gonna join the Air Force. And anyway, so we put a little groups together in the squadron is the three of us was two guys kept coming in same communities. And anyway, so they started about two or three times and they said, What are you doing anything with this? I said, No, not really. We’re just in the cadet. Would you come and join our band, which I did the following weekend and my dad sent me down there and bring me drums. I don’t know how he did it because I don’t have a car unless I borrowed one I got a taxi or something like this one says Roxton and Lancaster by the way. And they sell John’s arrived with his dad and they must have a few bob because they’ve turned up in a taxi 8:09 That band was called Scorpions, wasn’t it? Well, I think it was called the scorpions as it was called something else. And then we settled on a name called the Spectres and we did release the Spectres name of a song called I have nothing but it was a Shirley Bassey single and we did a rock version of it. And I still think it’s been played somewhere on some record by somebody. 9:07 then the magical Pete Barlow come up with this slime tool Status Quo, which is all I suppose our day we don’t know. But previous to that, before we started, Scott we did we won a competition to go to play in Butlins for six weeks, this summer holiday camp. In those days you’ve been allowed to sell on the campus as an entertainer yet to get a b&b, which really wasn’t nice, you know. So you got on immediately with the other guys. Yeah, it was Francis Rossi and a guy called Jessie Boskie. Who’s he was English but his parents are Polish I believe. Then, Jess. I think I had another one just left and we got Ryan lines to play keyboards. He was on Matchstick Men say with a band for five years. Then it just I remember travelling on a train somewhere years ago. And Roy said I’ve just had enough of this. And so the pull up to the rail thing where you put your bag and he gone. He walks off the train was always going to get a coffee or somebody you know in the in the restaurant car and it was hilarious. And the trains pulling out the station. Then we saw him walking down the platform waving goodbye. He got off he left. We played a gig that night without Yeah, when someone said, oh god that sounds so much better without gables. And it’s funny. Where did the name status quo come from? I think it was my manager at the time I don’t know where really found the name but he said it’s mean says you are something we stopped doing name them. There was ice in the sun in our chair changed the whole thing. That was great. We grew hair long. But well, jeans and T shirts previous to that it was all like frilly shirts and jackets and you know certainly coloured trousers and trying to be popstars. 12:01 we got rid of the daddy mentioned, Bob Young said play colleges universities changed the whole music set. And we just played the blues and some rock and roll it works out well. It worked out better than you could have ever imagined really didn’t. Yeah, it was great. You know, we felt much more at home doing that. And I remember there was one place we played with some college or university somewhere years ago. And this character came up to us backstage and said you know my name is whatever it was I introduced the band and we’d all said in the meeting that we wanted to just be one of those bands that just walks on and plays without being announced you know call you know if they sign love and dogs and this character insisted on and now it’s in the band so we thought God Okay, let him do it. Anyway, so remember this guy was full of you can smell cannabis is college university. And it was you know if you just put your nose on stage you can go yeah, this character walks on stage and he gets a round of applause from these students and everything else and they will cheer Hello guys and I think he says something like Welcome to tonight’s show. I know you’ve been might’ve this band for years I’ve managed to get them ladies and gentlemen will you give a big welcome to their here if we got a we were forgot the band’s name yeah and he was so insistent on announcing stages story he was obviously one good out of it was smelling the dome and he he just thought he was great. We went down very well. 14:41 me my career and me all the traumas that I’ve admired. Like Brian Bennett in the shadows. Brian’s great. I was with Brian the other day. The old boys lunch in London. Bobby Elliot from the holidays. 14:52 This Hello Simon Phillips met ginger. My favourite part of the lot was Buddy Rich. I was very lucky to just spent two hours with Buddy Rich many years ago because I was playing premier drums. Anyway, we went overseas concert and I think it was some of that call was in Manchester he was in I think summit like Preston Guild Hall. With his sell out concert, we were our concert, is to be walked into the concert hall. And his role is with Johnny Cash. And 15:22 we spent two hours talking about drums and touring the world. And we got like a house on fire because I was told he can be really useful, you know, they could be quite awkward. And there was a girl there interviewing him and me. And she said, Nobody, you’re the best drummer in the world. What do you think of this long-haired bloke? I was down here playing in a rock band. And I remember this to this day. He was very kind and he said, Well, man, there’s no need for that. He’s doing his job. I’m doing my yes. He said, John ever play play my drums on No. And I sit on his kit now taps away, you know, trying to do something that I could get away with. And he said that sounds great, John. Yeah, you know, he sort of better go and have a drink. Anyway, I knew that stage buddy never allowed any be found to drink alcohol? Yeah, no, not no alcohol at all. So be drunk. I’ve got a fixture. here somewhere, give us toasting each other with a cup of coffee, you know? 16:22 Reasonably got on I think was because I didn’t ask him. Could you show me how to do a sec. And I just think we just spoke about things happening in the world. It was lovely. I was never forgotten that it was great. I’m chatting with John Cobden for the status quo. John, can you describe what it was like? In the 60s? It was really the heyday of music, particularly in Britain wasn’t it was when everybody was coming up. And the scene was just happening. I was great. I mean, I remember so slowly, we supported Jody Lewis, the kings with loads of tours. We did a Gene Pitney around the early days of Avon calling up Don Partridge, or various other people. I remember one thing we did, which was I’d like to see it again. It was a tour of Australia, flying from Heathrow, London to Sydney. I think it was with Status Quo Slade, Lindisfarne, and a band called Caravan. On the same tour. It was hilarious. And when we did the internal flying in Australia announcer airlines, we found out that someone had put three or four detectives on the plane. And they always sat at the back. And I was I think they were expecting us to play havoc on the plane. It was funny because every time we got on a plane that’s sitting there, which is why even Hi guys, how are you know? I remember the last day getting off the plane and thank you guys. Thanks for Scotland is around Australia find anybody No, but they were so pissed off that I didn’t know. 17:49 We were watching. We knew who they were. It was great. And those were the days weren’t they? I must say I remember that tour. It was huge. Back in a sec with more. 18:01 This is a breath of fresh air with Sandy Kaye. It’s a beautiful day. 18:07 Great to have you here. We’re talking all things status quo. And if you happen to be listening in the US and don’t recognize their sound, it’s because the band was largely ignored in Northern America after they abandoned psychedelia for their heavy Boogie bluesy rock in the early 70s. 19:02 Did life change for you? Yeah, I think it does. I think people want to just come and see status, got signing lots of autographs and things that grew the hair long got denim jeans and T shirts and heads down Boogie and all that, you know, that’s what it was about. And that changed everything. I did it for about 20 years, America was still ignoring status quo at that time with that. Yeah, I think what we should have done, if I’d had my way I think we would have would have uprooted from England and gone and lived in the States for a year and toured America and pushed ourselves because I think Fleetwood Mac did that. And I think some other bands, you know, I think See, I remember you could play in Texas, and you play in Indiana, or whatever you call it. And then California in one state, they’ve heard of you another state they’ve even how to another site. They remember you from the record that was an radio and it’s really difficult. It’s such a big place and I think you need to spend lots of time there. We were spoiled. 20:00 So, because we were big in Europe and big in the UK, yeah, like a promotion I think probably in America. That’s what it was really? Did that frustrate you? I think it did. But like I said, we don’t quite get to go back home to England because we we knew we were big in England, United Kingdom, Scandinavia, and some other countries you know, it just we were so pleased to be back. But I must admit America in those days and seven says, I must admit we did so there a lot and you know what I never saw and all the time we spent that. Never saw a gun. Never saw any trouble. Now think I think twice about culture America now. I can’t work out what’s gone wrong there. Ice in the sand that was written by a former British pop star Marty Wilde became your second top. 20:47 Money while was huge at the time, wasn’t he? Yeah, Marty. Yeah, I think he’s still around now. I think he’s, he’s tomorrow, I believe. And he wrote it for us. And that was great. You know, it was just nice to have people writing good songs for us and coach the band Bob young Rick path and Lancaster Francis wrote some good stuff. And as Bob did, and you know, it’s just nice to read, read go some of their songs and some of the stuff we all got a chip in like it blows on beside. 21:59 The image change had enhanced the appeal of status quo, even though you were almost like a completely different bandwidth. Yeah, I think we progressed along as we went along. I think really, the early Matchstick Men days we enjoyed playing to audiences, of course, but I think we still felt a bit with that image out of place. We didn’t feel in our hearts. It was right somehow. And so we moved on thank God to Bob young for changing everything because as you know, it works. Yeah, it sure did. In 1972 of the Redding and Grandwest and festivals, you really became hot property. You got a record deal and your first single for that new label was one called paper plane. And that just rocketed into the top 10 in 73 Yeah, you were just in demand everywhere. How could you maintain such a hectic schedule at the time and have any sort of relationships at home? I mean, your feet wouldn’t have touched the ground over no I know there’s a story goes our first wives and I think we’ve all right first ones who doesn’t these days and they didn’t want us to go away oh no, you can’t go away. It was just sort of I was just got married you married a musician, a working musician cause we’re gonna go and sort of notice that we play lots of festival running festivals. Great Lincolnshire festivals. We played loads of festivals you were huge deal wherever you went. And once you seem to find the formula that worked you kept rolling it out you kind of recycled that same simple booking on each of the albums and singles that came didn’t you? 23:33 Yeah, I think it was we realized that it was all working properly. 24:54 We all like to drink you know and some of the guys smoked but somehow when you get back to your accommodation ..hotel whatever it is, it takes three, three hours to calm down. Before you can actually crash out you know, it always goes to one of the bounce rooms, grab a drink some wine or some or some beer, then say yeah, good night and see in the morning and then meet for breakfast and then carry on again. That’s how it was John Copeland, you doing this Boogie all through the 70s you killing them wherever you’re playing, each album that you released went into the top five. And of course, you had that huge number one single down down in 1974. Can you shed some light on that one? Well, I think it was a magnificent bust for the bank seeing that we actually made a single go to number one. There was somebody played that the audience would imagine. Massive cheers for it. And they sing all the words and it’s awesome. And I just think I’ve had fans say to me, Oh, John, you know, you’ve made 14 albums, and which is your favourite album? What would you say was your best single your best album? And I said, Look, we’ve made 14 And I always thought at the time your last album was the thought was is your best because you play at home. I don’t really plan he says it’s closer to home now at all really? And I don’t think I would really did when I was touring because you’re used to playing on stage. You know why don’t listen to at home. But you know, downtown was one of our favorites mystery song was another one that I liked and Rick, Rick sung that and too much so I remember what was your best album your best single either way say the best thing to do is offer stagers qualified Now Charlie Bucha is the best. 27:23 Artists often tell me that during that hectic period, when you’re really on top that it goes by in such a blur that your feet don’t touch the ground, you’ve got no memory of it. People say to me, Oh, I missed the 80s. Or I missed the 70s. Because we were so busy all the time. I can really understand that because you were just on the go constantly. You don’t actually take time out to smell the roses at all? No, I think it is. There was a saying in those days. If we weren’t recording, we were touring. And if a word touring, we were recording, you know, then we would have a little bit of time at home. But I don’t think it was enough. And I think we should have had longer. But having said that, it’s easy to jump off the bandwagon and spend too much time at home then what you don’t want to do at the time is lose your fans. You want to keep your fans because they’ve been good to you. And I mean now, I played recently down in Butlins in Minehead where we all started, and fans are coming up to me at the end St. John, it’s lovely sick and either folks who don’t like to do a signing session for hour and a half. And I said to my wife, Julie, I said, Look, this is what I did. I left in 81 It’s like I’m still with the band, you know, fans I’ve been, I’ve always wanted a photo with you. Did you sign this green sign the t shirt. When you get those fans and they stick with you through that period, they never leave you. That certainly proved to be the case with status quo because the League of fans just kept growing as each bogey kept rolling out. And I guess you really did the right thing. All those albums all those singles just kept perpetuating the name of status quo. So it was always on the top of the charts. You got to sunlight rollover lay down in 75 It was very similar to down down in 74 It was very similar to wild side of life in 76 they all intertwined and melded into each other really didn’t that was it rollover down was so much shorter. Remember earlier, that’s when we all co wrote all of us. Yeah, that was good. It was a song that the audience loved that. And I think you know, I didn’t as you know, I didn’t really write songs, but the lads thing. And I think you know, one song was probably Dare I say possibly Nick from the other song, you know, bits of ideas and things but having said that, they’re all good songs that turned out well, audience love. So we did the right thing really. 30:42 Somehow music started going through a whole lot of different changes in itself in the late 70s, didn’t it? After the release in 1980 of the song just supposing you got up and left the band in an extraordinary fashion. What happened? Had you simply had enough? Well, I think it was a combination of us probably not getting on, I think we were possibly worn out a bit. And the guys are doing quite a bit of Bob Hope. And I was just having a glass of wine now and again. And there was something terribly wrong with my my headset. And I think we were all tired. And I just basically, I got to the point where I just needed a massive break. I needed to get away from it for a while. And I just think I’ve had an affair. And I think I got back home to Ireland where I was living at the time. I mean surely took I took a year off to recuperate and I think we went on holidays and I got back home then I realized I needed to play drums again. 31:47 So it’s in your blood? Yeah, John what were the circumstances around you’re leaving from what I’ve been told that appeared to be a really sudden decision? You just got up from the drums and called it quits. Can you tell us in your words how it came about? Well I think it was the band we’re going to involve and lots of things I shouldn’t have done and I wasn’t happy about it. I think we’re all exhausted I think we were tired what we should have done is that time off obviously didn’t see I wasn’t very happy and I don’t know it’s it’s difficult to explain just had enough instead of then next day based on all we’ve got to the Beaumont is use a drum machine and I burst out laughing So you tell me a drum machine can do is shuffle it can’t do a shuffle like me and then they insist they’ll know we were doing this in our Lancaster was so now we’re gonna be right in the morning which is normal you know it’s normal for me to be okay. If we don’t x y and Zed the night before and shouting whatever having a route by we see they got Pekerja to fly out and then fly but then I think unalike is the one we want you to get me back to do more is that massive concert Live Aid I wanted me to do that I never got the phone calls so I saw well you know then the only turn up was on 13 and 14 Much later on you know we all got back together again. But while you were sitting in that studio at the time and you were totally fed up the story is that you were tapping around and then you got up and kicked the whole drum kit apart walked out of the studio and that was that is that how I think 33:34 I just think what we should have done is all stopped recording at the time gone and this is one of the rooms of shadows sat down and talked about it but that never happened. No one could be bothered so you know you get to the point well let’s talk about it 35:06 John Coghlin was known to fans as bad or the med took. He was a sullen, mustachioed and mysterious figure behind the drum kit, and according to reports was sometimes prone to volatile outbursts of temper. Mostly however, he kept to himself, as he’s already alluded to as status quo as popularity saw during the 70s and into the next decade, so did their drug intake. The members became the cocaine gang. And if you weren’t doing it, you were excluded. That’s really what happened to John. With the madness escalating around him, he remained an outcast. On that fateful day in 1981, he just snapped kicked his drums across the room and then boarded a flight from Switzerland, where the group had been working to his home on the Isle of Man. Don’t go anywhere. John Coghlan is just getting warmed up. 36:01 This is a breath of fresh air with Sandy Kaye, it’s a beautiful day. 36:08 Welcome back. Status Quo drummer John Coghlan has been sharing his story about the band’s beginnings, its rise to fame and that crazy rock and roll lifestyle complete with drugs and alcohol that cost him his place in the group, when he left quote quickly picked up the pieces by hiring Pete Kershaw. Their 1982 album, one plus nine plus eight plus two was the first feature paid on drums. I guess they wrote this song in John’s honour. 37:15 With all of this going on, John Coghlin managed to keep himself busy touring and recording with multiple projects and bands. Some four years later, bass player Alan Lancaster also quit status quo, leaving Francis Rossi and guitarist vocalist Derek Parfit to carry on the name. By the mid 90s status quo had scored 50 British hit singles which was more than any other band in rock’n’roll history of the time. I’ve got to tell you what happens when you leave a band it’s no like that. You soon know who your who your friends are. 37:51 You want to make a phone call to someone and they still make an escape because you’re not in the band anymore. So you think okay, fine. I can do without those people. And I did I think we’re partners in crime I made an album. Yeah, single was called We Are The Boys Who Make all the Noise. 38:58 if you look at the video that is still about, you’ll see both bourbon in pseudo miming to the drums I did, because I did a session because obviously why someone I don’t I can’t remember what happened now. But I couldn’t make the video shoot. It made a nice change. So after you’d been rockin all over the world, you settled back took a bit of time out the bugs still had you and you started playing with a whole load of other people until you then started your own bad. Yeah, I think I got a call from a friend of mine. Lancashire is an agent and he said why don’t you put the bands together that plays with your close stuff is because you’re entitled to go out on the road with another band playing all the hits you had in which I did you know and then the John Coghlan disco. I did that for quite a long time. And it was good, but I think having to play drums with those other musicians did help me in a big way, you know, playing different music so and it was a nice little test that for me and I was really happy with that. 40:00 So despite the tensions that had been around between you and Rick and Francis and Alan Lancaster, you managed to reunite for a special one off session in 2012. How did they talk you into coming back to do that? What is that? I think it was Alan G. Parker, who’s a friend of ours. And he got this idea about getting the four of us together to play together and Shepperton Studios in England. And it was basically a studio for making movies, because soundproofing on the walls and ceilings and even the floor, right. And the drum sander was what I call very dry. It was horrible. And I’ve my lovely lovely drumkit, which I’ve still got from the pictures and match them men days, necessarily the same on that Ringo had the same color and everything. Anyway, you know, I’m playing now. Then we spent I think, was it to two weeks, I think we rehearse on topic. No, did we just get together once? That’s what I think we did them. There was talk of at all, but I said yeah, I’m up for it. And Alan wasn’t. And very can, Francis, me spent two weeks rehearsing for the British tour. I think it was and that was the first tour you’ve done together in some 32 years. Yeah, it was it was quite strange, it felt quite different. The four original members of status quo came to be widely known as the frantic for it was back to rockin all over the world. 42:26 I was totally sober at the time, no drinking, which is fine, you know, whatever. But then as I said, we should always do a tour of Europe. And I should I think personally we should have come to Australia and did it. So it was but also what was initially a lot of you didn’t know this. But when we finished the last stumbling gig, it was it was filmed, you know, get the DVD out where they filmed the concert. And that was good fun. And Rick Parfitt said to Francis now, I’d like to carry on doing this as an intern. What CO does now? And I said yeah, I’m up for it. And Alan was, anyway, fancy the monitor. He said, No, I want to do is what we’re doing. You know, later. And Henrik, he said, I’m not you know, I don’t really want to do that. And France has come up with the idea. Why don’t you call it the status quo? PLC? PLC? Yeah, perfect language from Kotlin. Which would have actually gotten a musician’s play fake Francis place. Goes without that could have been okay. But he was doing solo stuff. And was he. Now I think Cole was probably still together, we really wanted another tour, perhaps. But, of course, then direct passed away. Rick died, you know, and that was, that was a shame. But what everyone’s been saying, is that thank God for 13 and 14 tours, because if we just said, Oh, well, maybe one day we’ll do it then cause there’s no signs always then too late. But thank God we did 13 and 14 for the fans. I mean, I was told you’ll love this story. We was told an Australian family flew to London to catch her three shows their Miss was right. They clocked all three shows. So think of the fare, the tickets, the cost of staying in a hotel. Yeah. Then they flew back to Australia. 44:22 Then, I presume, went back to work. What they did, then flew back again, for the last gig in Dublin. Now think of that. That’s diehard fans. Yeah. And also someone told me that a lot of the men they saw in the audience on those shows were actually crying because it’s circling back to their days. You know, when whatever when I got married on baby, they had a passing whatever, took them back to the younger days when those singles were just released. You know, now it was really so it was lovely. It was great. It was very emotional. It was good fun. We all enjoyed it. 46:09 Would have ever thought that we’d be talking about status quo? 50 something years later? My No, it’s amazing. And also, I’m also going to be doing something with a local radio called Whitney radio, and I think they’re changing names, but I’ve all done one show with them. And I’m doing a thing John Coltrane, rock COVID And what it is, I decided that I wanted my own program of playing music, that I like Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, ACDC loads of different types of music, I wrote a big list of songs are here, and I think are gonna have fun. And with the radio said yet, we’d love you to join in with John too. Every week. I send you a list of once a month. Here we go. And I’ve got rejection from Linda Swan friend of mine, who’s going to come in on the first show, so it really is nice playing the pre-record of course it John Kirkland, you say that you made a list of all your favourite songs. What comes in at number one on your list of all-time favourite songs from any band? Got to listen the other Romney I suppose? I don’t know. It could be brown sugar from the Rolling Stones it could be something from The Corrs 48:33 Here’s my wife give me a listen. Thank you darling. And your wife, I believe is a very famous person in her own right. So she’s not just the wife of a famous rock star but she’s competed in and won so many television quiz shows over the years from the weakest link and Sale of the Century International. She actually represented England in that one she’s amazing. 48:59 You just congratulate her for us on the list I got music John miles sosR runaway the cause uptown Uptown Girl Billy Joel simply the best Tina Turner new flame Simply Red and it goes on a lot of songs that I hear on the radio only I’ll put that on my show.

Rich’s songs have won over the hearts of many, most recently with the critically acclaimed albums “Beyond Nostalgia & Heartache” and “What We Do (To Not Let Go),” which gained considerable airplay on BBC Introducing and rave reviews and features from Classic Rock, Vive Le Rock, Louder Than War, Powerplay, and more. Following the critically acclaimed ‘You Can Get Dark With Me’ release (our review is below) , Rich has just put out a new video for ‘Sierra Bonita’ taken from the album as well. Order link: musicglue.com/squidger Our review of the album can be found here: Over the years, Rich has shared stages with the likes of Ramones, Bad Brains, SNFU, Rammstein, Oasis, The Lemonheads, Warrior Soul, The Men They Couldn’t Hang, Whitfield Crane, Ginger Wildheart, The Professionals, Steve Conte (New York Dolls), and has packed out venues in his own right with each band. All this experience and resulting attention has led to signing a deal with Barrel And Squidger Records (known for releasing music by CJ Wildheart, Massive Wagons, and members of Status Quo and Sex Pistols) for his brand-new album titled “You Can Get Dark With Me.” Rich describes the new album: “After the big dramatic production of The Digressions’ albums, I wanted to create something more personal… a world of its own. So, I decided to deconstruct to reconstruct. Every song is a mix of home recording, from the first day of writing each song, and proper studio work, to keep a real personal ‘straight from the moment of inspiration’ feel… but with a sonically and emotionally expanded spirit as well. Guitars were recorded on the fly in my bathroom as I wrote, in real-time. Mostly acoustic, later taken and manipulated to sound ‘electric’ (inspired by the Stones’ similar sonic experiments on ‘Street Fighting Man’). Backing vocals were done on the spot… some of these literally recorded on a phone mic in my bathroom. I then took all this to my trusted friend and talented producer, Andy Brook, and added big studio-grade bass and drums via the talented duo of Simon Maxwell and Ricky McGuire… and experimented some more. Then JUNO and Canadian Country Music Award-winning producer (and another old friend and brother) Russell Broom got involved in a few tracks, most notably ‘SIERRA BONITA.’ Travelling back to my early home of Calgary and recording with him really brought things full circle. So… songs that started out so simple and solitary had travelled quite far. In its own world… reaching out now.” Order link: musicglue.com/squidger About Author

It's time for a revaluation of the Quo.		https://sputnikmusic.com/favicon.gif		https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/78719/Status-Quo-Live%21/	Status Quo Live! 4.5 superb Review by Itsonlyme USER (12 Reviews) January 13th, 2019 \| 17 replies Release Date: 1977 \| Tracklist Review Summary: A seemingly forgotten classic live album that will blow you away! It's time for a revaluation of the Quo. Unambitious, unadventurous, very British, no nonsense, addictive, eclectic, professional, rousing, hypnotizing, modest, fun, passionate, obstinate, sturdy, denim, long hair, working class, solid: these are qualifications for Status Quo, aka the Quo, the Frantic Four. Not only the most succesful band in British rock history, Status Quo is also one of the most remarkable and memorable. Their trade mark sound, combining hard rock, blues, folk, boogie and rock 'n roll is immediately recognizable. It's an amazing fact that they never 'made' it in America, but maybe they are too 'British'. The sound, the feeling and the accent are unmistakebly British. From the late 70's throughout the 80's Status Quo were demigods in Europe, but almost non-existent in America. Still, the live album they produced in 1977, selected from the best parts of live performances in Glasgow, belongs to the most memorable and enjoyable of the 70's. The album radiates a real live feeling, allowing all the different instruments to be clearly recognizable. The vocals from various members, the thumping guitars, the deep bass, the drums and even the harmonica and quiet passages are discernible during the concert. The songs selected are all great, there is no filler to be found and a few killers present. The Quo deliver what they are good at: raunchy, raw and thunderous bluesy rock 'n roll with some folkish, Celtic accents. The album opens with a famous introduction, being the vivacious voice of Jackie Lynton: 'Is there anybody out there that wants to rock'? The reaction of the audience in the sold out Apollo in Glasgow is unanimously positive. Musician Lynton is a life long co-writer of Quo songs. Together with 'fifth member' Bob Young, who is a main songwriter for the band and a gifted harmonica player, the audience is one of the main characters in the show. You can hear them yell, applaud and sing along during some thrilling, spun out songs. Album closer Roadhouse Blues is the most impressive example of this jamming approach. This lengthy song, a very well done Doors cover, lasts for more than 14 minutes and never ceases to entertain. Treating the listener to a heavy blues song, with a long interlude of singing along, harmonica and guitar solos. Most of the Time starts with a nice clean arpeggio melody joined in by the audience and thus creating a cheerful atmosphere, before the song bursts into a thick blues monster with exciting guitar solos. The unadulterated, locomotive rock beast Forty Five Hundred Times however surpasses this song in length and strength, it's one of the highlights of the album. Of course Quo's classic anthem Roll over lay down doesn't fail on this record. This live version has become canonical, providing everything the band represents and it is a demonstration of the versatiltity of the band. As said, this album includes no weak spots or bad song and is best savoured uninterrupted from start to finish so you can experience the atmosphere and excitement. This live album can rival the best of it's generation thanks to the vivid atmosphere, quality song writing and excellent performance. Status Quo is a genuinely underrated foursome (plus Lynton, Young and audience) because they hold on to the same musical style.

There are certainly some fans of the Quo on these boards even if the band failed to achieve permanent success in the US (contrary to UK, Europe, Australia and various other markets). My interest in what is currently touring under the name "Status Quo" has waned after Rick Parfitt's sad passing last year, but I don't want to be bitter about Francis Rossi or the members that are playing with him. I don't agree with the notion that the Frantic Four line-up made the only good Quo music, as we'll see in this thread. Still, even for the purist fans it's a good time to start this thread because finally all the classic Vertigo albums are available as deluxe editions (mastered by Andy Pearce, with more or less interesting bonus material). While the music press has never cared much for the band, I think they offer more variety and substance than they are often given credit for and it's also a goal of this thread to prove it. But certainly Quo are mainly fun listening and not ridden with philosophical ideas or highly complicated musical concepts. I sometimes think of them as the British equivalent of boogie bands such as Canned Heat or ZZ Top, the main difference being that the Quo are less laid back and more aggressive. My intention is to cover every album release, including selected bonus tracks and rarities (i.e. singles-only material) plus live stuff. I'm going to post the album covers and detailed information for each LP but will only write reviews for those albums I'm really familiar with (mainly 70s and 2000s stuff), so feel free to step in if you think you've got something to say. Reviews and views are welcome! For additional reading pleasure and sometimes opposing views, I recommend this series of texts written by forum member @Ma Kelly (his username will be explained in this thread as well, in case you don't know!) though mind it stops in 1984. http://rateyourmusic.com/list/koeeoaddi_there/the_mother***in_quo/1/ Finally one last comment before we get rolling. I prefer a slow but steady pace (also because of my online habits).

It Takes Two (William “Mickey” Stephenson/Silvia Moy) Line-up: Alan Lancaster (vocals/bass) Francis Rossi (vocals/guitar) Roy Lynes (organ/vocals) John Coghlan (drums) The band had been around in various forms and guises since about 1961. This is remarkable because 1) the Beatles-led music boom hadn’t truly begun yet and 2) the band members were in their very early teens when the band was formed! They played at Butlin’s Minehead (a sort of holiday camp) alongside another band called The Highlights, which consisted of Rick Parfitt and the twin sisters Gloria and Jean Harrison. (Watch Rick, Gloria and Jean reminisce on the “Hello Quo” DVD!) While The Spectres played rock music, The Highlights were more of a cabaret band but Rick was attracted to the sound of that other group. He and Francis quickly became friends and hung out a lot together. One curious thing both had in common – Rick had called himself “Richard Harrison” with the Highlights and Francis had been calling himself “Mike Rossi”. Both weren’t too happy about their real names! When The Spectres released their first single (a cover of "I (Who Have Nothing)"), they consisted of Francis Rossi, Alan Lancaster, Roy Lynes and John Coghlan. Two more singles (“Hurdy Gurdy Man” and another cover, “(We Ain’t Got) Nothin’ Yet”) were released but none were successful. The name change to Traffic Jam (after Steve Winwood & company had already secured the name "Traffic") didn't change that and this group's only single (“Almost But Not Quite There”) was no hit either. Another change however prefigured their breakthrough, as Francis' friend Rick Parfitt (who’d just got ‘stilettoed’ after an argument with the singing twins…) was brought into the group, mainly for his voice. The band was now called "The Status Quo" and recorded a Rossi song that had been treated with all kinds of cool effects in the studio, thereby planting the band firmly into the psychedelic movement. "Pictures of Matchstick Men" became the quasi-title track of the debut album (which we'll come to shortly) and is rightly regarded as a classic of the psychedelic era (and has been re-recorded in 1999 and 2014 as well as played live). However those six early recordings were not included on the debut album or one of its reissues, even if the deluxe edition contains excerpts of the BBC sessions done as Spectres and Traffic Jam. Three unreleased Spectres tracks (including The Bee Gees' "Spicks and Specks" later re-recorded for the Quo debut) were later released on Castle's "Singles Collection", two more were released on a rare vinyl release called "Riots of the Amphetamine Generation". I wish all those quartet recordings were collected on a single CD!

Bloodhound 2:05 L Line-up: Francis Rossi (vocals/guitar) Rick Parfitt (vocals/guitar) Alan Lancaster (vocals/bass) Roy Lynes (organ/piano/vocals) John Coghlan (drums) "Pictures of Matchstick Men" - originally written as something in the vein of "Hey Joe" - with its heavy phasing and wah-wah effects worked perfectly in the pop year 1967 and turned “The Status Quo” into a hot new band. The next single "Black Veils of Melancholy", Francis Rossi admitted was an attempt of repeating the success with a very similar sounding song. However, Alan Lancaster said that he doesn't think the songs are similar. In any case, it was not a hit and they went back to outside writers Marty Wilde (himself a former teenage idol and father of Kim Wilde!) and Ronnie Scott for the proper follow-up "Ice in the Sun". This was more poppy and less rocky but did contain another ear-catching sound effect, in this case the sound of a plectrum scraping across the piano strings! When the debut album was finally released in 1968 it featured a mixture of psychedelic-sounding originals written by or for the band and covers of relatively current pop ‘hit’ songs (with hindsight not such a good move, but acceptable back then). The preceding singles were all included, with the exception of "To Be Free" (b-side of "Black Veils..."), later included on the reissues. Speaking of reissues, there was a 1998 remaster on Castle by Robert Corich and Mike Brown and a deluxe edition in 2003 (not sure who remastered that one). Unfortunately neither reissue is available anymore. I've tried to spark some movement but at the moment, it doesn't seem like BMG are willing to change anything about this situation. Personally, I would love a double CD that contains everything the band recorded in that era (i.e. all BBC Sessions) and the earlier, "Rickless" Spectres and Traffic Jam recordings put on an extra disc (see above).

Francis Rossi and Alan Lancaster, with a career spanning more than 50 years.	en	https://www.udiscovermus…icon-32x32-1.png	uDiscover Music	https://www.udiscovermusic.com/artist/status-quo/	When Status Quo’s sixth studio album, Hello!, was first released nearly 40 years ago in September 1973 and jumped straight into the UK albums chart at No. 1 it was the culmination of persistence, constant gigging and a creative transformation the likes of which most groups would never attempt let alone survive. Almost unbelievably Status Quo are still going strong, still touring, still making the commercially successful, no-nonsense boogie-rock records that capture the imagination of air guitarists the world over. Many such axe was raised in tribute to the sad passing of founder member Rick Parfitt in late 2016. If Status Quo was an American band they would be worshipped as Gods, as it is they are just good blokes, the very epitome of great British musicians who know how to put on a great show and make records that have sold many, many, millions. ADVERTISEMENT Their roots can be traced as far back as 1962 when, still at school, Mike (later to become Francis) Rossi, Alan Lancaster and Alan Key (who later left the group) formed a band called Scorpions that then transformed into a five-piece called Spectres. Almost five years later, during which time they’d secured a contract with Piccadilly Records, released three unsuccessful singles and played a summer residency at Butlins in Minehead, they became Traffic Jam for a couple of months and released another single that flopped. Clearly, a change of direction and fortune was needed if they were to continue – another guitarist Rick Parfitt was recruited, the name Status Quo was adopted, flower-power outfits were donned and at the end of February 1968 they suddenly had a No. 7 hit single with the psychedelically-tinged ‘Pictures Of Matchstick Men’. Momentarily in tune with the times, they had a follow-up No.8 hit with ‘Ice In The Sun’ in October but then faded almost as quickly as they’d bloomed, two albums and five subsequent singles in the next two years making very little impression on the charts or the record-buying public. At the beginning of 1970 though there were signs of yet another change in direction. ‘Down The Dustpipe’, with its straightforward riff and wailing harmonica, was their most successful single since ‘Ice In The Sun’ and gave an indication of where Quo might be heading, and the album released later that year, Ma Kelly’s Greasy Spoon, reinforced that suspicion. One more personnel change – long-time keyboard player Roy Lynes had had enough – reduced them to the classic quartet of Rick Parfitt (guitar/vocals), Francis Rossi (guitar/vocals), Alan Lancaster (bass/vocals) and John Coghlan (drums) that during the next 10 years or so enjoyed truly enormous success. They embarked on an astonishing and unprecedented run of 11 consecutive Top 5 UK albums and only one of the 15 singles they released in that period failed to make the Top 20. A more dramatic turnaround in fortune is hard to imagine and they basically did it by adopting the simple expedient of stripping away all pretension, muso-instrumental doodling and unnecessary elaboration from their music, honing it, in its most primitive form, down to three chords, donning t-shirts, jeans and trainers in favour of kaftans, and then working their socks off. Their new, raw and ecstatically infectious boogie-rock appealed immediately to an audience that wanted loud, solid, uncomplicated rock to dance to – music to have a good non-cerebral time to. The crowds who saw them at the 1972 Reading and Great Western Festivals will attest to that. Another album, Dog Of Two Head, released at the end of 1971, was just too early to benefit from this new impetus and then the band went a whole year (unheard of in those days) without troubling record retailers until they made another career-changing move and signed to Vertigo, ironically a label known more for its top-heavy roster of largely obscure prog-rock bands than as a home for no-nonsense, riff-based boogie. Nevertheless, in January 1973 they released what was Status Quo’s fifth album, Piledriver. A Top 5 album containing the No. 8 hit single ‘Paper Plane’, it nailed the formula that, with some tweaking and augmentation, the band adopted from thereon, and it truly marked the emergence of a powerful and lasting presence in rock music. The beauty of their recorded music was of course that, unlike a lot of their contemporaries, they could play it live and actually add something to it – energy, power, more guitar! – rather than delivering a diminished album listening experience. And audiences worldwide lapped it up. Quick to ride the crest of this wave, in September of 1973 they released what many Quo aficionados still regard as their tour de force. Entirely self-written, self-produced and packaged in a stark black sleeve that mirrored the new minimalist approach to their music, Hello! entered the UK album chart at No. 1 and has been in the intervening 40 years, a constant steady seller. The press was predictably a bit sniffy and condescending about it, as they have been with a lot of Quo’s recorded output – NME said mysteriously that the band were “slaves to a musical cliché rather than masters of it” although Jon Tiven in the US Zoo World opined more generously that the album was “pure chunka-chunka music a la Canned Heat, taken to a much higher level”. Hello! also contained the band’s first Top 5 single – ‘Caroline’, the first of a string of 1970s Top 10 hits – ‘Break The Rules’, ‘Down Down’, ‘Rain’, ‘Wild Side of Life’, John Fogerty‘s ‘Rockin’ All Over The World’ and ‘Whatever You Want’ – that meant that Quo were supreme on three fronts – Top 5 albums, Top 10 singles and huge concert draw. Unbeatable. The other 1970s albums were Quo (No. 2 in the album chart), On The Level (No. 1), Blue For You (No. 1), Live! (No. 3), Rockin’ All Over The World (No. 5), If You Can’t Stand The Heat (No. 3) and Whatever You Want (No. 3) and by the end of the decade their sound had become perceptively more polished, as outside producers were used, but without losing any of its edge or ability to deliver the primal, unfussy music that their fans adored and demanded. The 1980s were a time of continued all-round success if on a less stable footing. 1981 saw the departure of founding member and drummer John Coghlan to be replaced by ex-Honeybus member Pete Kircher, and this line-up lasted until the band’s appearance at Live Aid in July 1985. Around that time they also recruited two ex-Climax Blues Band members – drummer Jeff Rich and bassist John ‘Rhino’ Edwards – plus keyboard player Andy Bown who had actually been an on-off member of the group since 1974 but for contractual reasons couldn’t until now be counted as such. Original bass player Alan Lancaster had already departed in less than amicable circumstances (the tried and trusted cliché “musical differences” was quoted – they’ve recently patched up these differences apparently) and actually tried to stop the band continuing as Status Quo. It would have taken more than that to stop the Quo juggernaut though and the band went on to record their In The Army Now album. This line-up was actually the longest lasting (1985 to 2000) and in that period enjoyed seven Top 20 albums and eight Top 20 singles. One personnel change since has seen Matt Letley replace Jeff Rich on drums but essentially the band has retained, through the dominant Parfitt/Rossi axis, the same persona and character. To this day Status Quo continue to tour and play large, prestigious gala concerts, arenas and festivals on a regular basis and, almost as a mark of their rock-establishment status, Rossi and Parfitt were awarded OBEs in 2010 for services to music and their work for various charities. In 2011 they released their 29th studio album, Quid Pro Quo, and, almost as regular as clockwork, reached No. 10 in the album chart. Last year they announced a new venture that promises to raise a few eyebrows – the band’s first feature film, a comedy, starring themselves and set in Fiji! And on a more prosaic note last October a two-and-a-half-hour documentary film was released in cinemas and on DVD. Titled Hello Quo! it charts the band’s history in uncompromising fashion and does much to place their commercial, achievements into some kind of perspective within the framework of rock history. The film reveals some surprising devotees such as Paul Weller, Jeff Lynne and Brian May, who appreciate the talent and expertise it takes to distil and refine a sound and to remain true to a clear, uncluttered vision. Sadly, the death of Richard John Parfitt, on Christmas Eve 2016, in Marbella, Spain – aged just 68 – is bound to disrupt the Status Quo modus operandi. He was such an integral part of the sound, the look and the fun that a Quo sans Rick is hard to fathom.

We don’t just purchase clothing, food and all of the other stuff we need to survive. Capitalism also sells us notions about who we are, what we want, and — ironically — even how to resist the system. As a result, even our own best revolutionary efforts end up reinforcing the status quo. The endlessly enigmatic Jack White blew minds by releasing a new album with a plain white sleeve with the words “No Name” stamped on its cover. Third Man Records gave it away for free to customers buying anything else at their record stores in Detroit, London and Nashville. There was no publicity or big roll out for the record (other than the aforementioned stunt). Here’s the kicker: The album rocks! White put out two very different solo albums two years ago. The futuristic and hip-hop-inflected Fear of the Dawn and the more sedate and acoustic Entering Heaven Alive. The new one blows the doors off with a return to the intensity of early White Stripes albums. The first two songs “Old Scratch Blues” and “Bless Yourself,” are serious riff rockers that split the difference between Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. White dishes out Jimmy-Page-like riffage over a rock solid rhythm section. And so here’s the thing: Jack White is really fired up, and that feels like old White Stripes, but White’s current drummer is a lot better than Meg White, and it may be an unpopular opinion, but I feel like some of the musical intensity suffers as a result. It’s weirdly paradoxical. But we don’t want to hear Tool’s Danny Carey sitting in for Ringo. The third tune conjures a sort of Nirvana 2.0 sound with its quiet/loud arrangement. “When it’s cold outside/ I need the strength to stay alive/ And when I’m in my home/ I need the strength to be alone,” White sings with a bit of a Cobain vibe. The sixth tune, “Bombing Out,” moves between sinister wah-wah guitar parts and punk power chords. The second song on side B, “Underground,” has more melodic content than the rest of the album, but still relies on foot-stomping intensity. White’s latest album gives Greta Van Fleet fans the opportunity to listen to another paean to Led Zeppelin by people who do it almost as well. Instead of GVF’s misty mountain mysticism take, White is offering up the sweating swagger and addled and amped vibe of Zep’s first two albums. The new album is evidence he has tapped into a new source of inspiration, perhaps his marriage to Olivia Jean in 2022. While the album’s future is unclear, in terms of a wider release, copies of White’s initial free offering of the record are selling between $800 and $2,000 online. This is why we can’t have nice stuff! This story was updated on July 29 with the official song titles, following a release by Jack White.

ROCK!	https://getreadytorock.me.uk/blog/2019/08/album-review-status-quo-backbone/	earMusic [Release date 06.09.19] On the release day of this album I will be avoiding social media at all costs. The luddites and trolls will be out in force to decry this album as a travesty and a slur on the Quo legacy, produced, in their opinion, by a ‘tribute’ act. I can hear the laments now for the days of the frantic four, people extoling the virtues of double denim as a fashion choice and there will be those calling for no less than the head of Francis Rossi, atop a Fender Telecaster, in a glass case at their nearest Hard Rock Cafe! Very few though will have actually bothered to listen to the new album which in my opinion is probably the best Quo release in recent memory. Things do get off to a slow start however with opener ‘Waiting For A Woman’. Not sure who arranged the track listing for the album but this song would have been better popping up mid-album rather than being the opener. It’s by no means a bad track however there are better, more gripping songs which would have been better openers. For me ‘Cut Me Some Slack’ would have been more than up to the task of being track 1. Built on a dirty riff cranked out by Francis Rossi and Ritchie Malone this is more like it, Quo firing on all cylinders. ‘Liberty Lane’ keeps up the pace with some excellent cowbell work at the start from Leon Cave, what song isn’t enhanced by a bit of cowbell? This track contains a great melody and has been receiving a lot of airplay on the radio. ‘I See You’re In Some Trouble’ bounces along on a pumping riff, with a great bass line from Rhino Edwards, and contains a big chorus. ‘Backing Off’ is probably my favourite song on the album, again the guitar work here is superb with some unusual twists thrown in along the way. This is the sound of a band really enjoying themselves in the studio and 33 albums in that is quite some feat! ‘I Wanna Run Away With You’ is an old school rocker with a great 12 bar riff that takes you back to the band’s heyday, yes it is that good. The title track ‘Backbone’ follows sticking two fingers up to any of the doubters who think the band are a spent force, Rossi and co are standing proud and are happy to take on the naysayers with an arsenal of 11 top tunes! The chugging riff of ‘Better Take Care’ is another highlight on the album and it contains a cracking guitar solo from Rossi, it is easy to dismiss Francis as a 12 bar wonder but his playing here is top notch. ‘Falling Off The World‘ is another familiar Quo standard with a heavy mid section which will be great in a live setting. The guys then hit full throttle with ‘Get Out Of My Head’ which is a fast paced out and out rocker. Again, live this will be a storming track, if you don’t nod your head along to this one then I would check for a pulse. ‘Running Out Of Time’ then brings the album to a close in fine style, whether this is a comment on the band’s collective age or its longevity is not specified, but this album proves there is plenty of life in the old dog yet. Francis Rossi states on the accompanying blurb that the young blood in the band, Ritchie Malone and Leon Cave, has re-energised the group and this album is the sound of a band renewed. The latest version of Quo may be a bit like Trigger’s Broom, however they have swept away the cobwebs and have produced an album worthy of the legacy and undoubtedly the best album the band have produced in many years. **** Featured Artist: JOSH TAERK Since early 2020 Josh has been entertaining us with exclusive monthly live sessions, streamed via Facebook.

Anyway, what I came on here to talk about is the above album- Hello by Status Quo. Released on the 28th September 1973, it recently celebrated its 50th anniversary, and as far as I’m aware , it received very little coverage apart from a cover piece in Classic Rock magazine. In my humble opinion it is Status Quo’s greatest album, and one that had a massive impact on me the first time I heard it. You could say it changed my life. I was 12 years old in 1973 and already obsessed with music. I already owned three Beatles albums, Sgt Pepper and the recently released Blue and Red compilations, and I’d been buying singles for over a year, and was well into Glam Rock, Slade, 10cc etc. I was mainly into singles, while my brother four years older was into albums, especially the heavier variety, Led Zep, Sabbath, Floyd etc , which didn’t interest me at all at that age( they would years later). One evening towards the end of the year, he asked me to listen to a song from a new album he’d bought. I said ok, but I don’t like you’re stuff. He said try it, and I did. The song was Caroline and I was blown away. I played the whole album, couldn’t believe what I was hearing, and apart from my Beatles albums, it is probably the most played album in my life. It is joyous, 39 minutes of pure pop, rock and roll, glorious riffs and great musicianship from Francis, Rick and Alan, all just 24 years old, whist John was a bit older at 27. Let’s look at why I think this is such a classic album. Side One Track 1: Roll Over Lay Down- What an opener, a stone cold classic it hits you like a runaway train. The build up to the ending is superb and so powerful. Track 2: Claudie- A wonderful song, that could almost be a country song. The song I used to play along to with my cheap plastic guitar in front of my bedroom mirror. Track 3: A Reason For Living- The first Rick vocal, it always felt religious to me talking about owning up to my Maker and saying prayers. A great song though. Track4: Blue Eyed Lady- What a classic riff to open a song with. A powerful song, the first of two Lancaster/Parfitt numbers. Side Two Track 1: Caroline- Listen to it as if for the first time. Nothing more to say! Track 2: Softer Ride-” I ain’t gonna work, I ain’t gonna work no more.” What a lovely sentiment, and another great record. Don’t be fooled by the quiet opening. Track 3: And It’s Better Now- “Got to have something to sing about, everyone must have a song”. I love this song. The guitar and bass middle bit is just wonderful. Track 4: Forty Five Hundred Times- Quo’s Magnum Opus? Most Quo fans think so, but I’m not sure. Their longest record at just under 10 minutes, it is certainly a classic. The first time I heard it live at Cardiff Castle in July 1976 will stay with me forever. There is a great version on the 1977 Live album at nearly 17 minutes long. So there we have it . A classic album by a band that took over my life for the next 6-7 years. My interest was already waning by the late 70s, but when John Coghlan left in 1981that was it. I had no interest when the band reformed in 1986(did anyone), but I still continue to play those 70s albums to this day. So do yourself a favour. Put Hello on, crank up the volume, and enjoy 39 minutes of pure joyous music. You won’t regret it. Ps. Could someone post a couple of videos for me for Roll Over Lay Down, and Caroline. Cheers Alan

But time is running out.	en	https://digiday.com/wp-c…e-touch-icon.png	Digiday	https://digiday.com/marketing/brat-summers-sun-might-be-setting-have-marketers-noticed/	The work has been tactical, for the most part – involving out-of-home (OOH) placements, organic and limited paid social activity that reference the album’s lyrics and lime green sleeve. And despite the vague explanation given by Charli XCX herself (“You’re just like that girl who is a little messy and likes to party and maybe says some dumb things sometimes”), the trend’s attracted responses from iced tea brewers and sausage companies – revealing marketers’ hunger to join in on niche cultural moments, and the way such moments are sold to them by agencies. At the beginning of July, plant-based food brand Field Roast, a No Fixed Address client, bought billboard space in downtown Toronto during the city’s Pride parade linking its bratwurst products to the trend Assembly beauty client Make Up For Ever, altered the colors and copy used in its paid social placements to reference the trend. Last week Lipton, a client of social agency Billion Dollar Boy, posted a TikTok claiming its green tea product to be “brat” soundtracked by one of the agency’s staffers singing along to 360, a track from the Brat album. Just this week, Snapchat unveiled a lime green “brat” filter for the platform, referencing the album’s artwork. Toni Box, evp, brand experience at Assembly, said the agency had received “really positive reactions” from its clientele. “Brands are looking for ways to be culturally relevant,” she said. Still, as cultural episodes go, Brat Summer might be smaller than it appears. A YouGov survey of 3,200 British consumers conducted July 26th found only 11% were aware and understood the term. Furthermore, the number of brands that have aligned themselves with Brat Summer – which include, after all, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential election campaign – is causing some sector experts to back off. Accenture Song’s head of social and influencer Melo Meacher-Jones told Digiday that despite pursuing “initial opportunities” relating to Brat Summer, “once we started seeing the rapid commercialization of the trend, we made a conscious decision to pause any further development.” “We felt that the moment’s authenticity and cultural relevance were diluted by the sheer volume of brands jumping on board,” she added. And eight weeks on from the record’s debut, the window for opportunistic marketers to jump aboard is closing fast. “The trend cycle is massively compressed,” said Katie Mulligan, strategy director at creative agency Brave Spark. Production and approval processes within marketing organizations move slower than media cycles, said Mulligan. She estimated that it might take two weeks from an agency initially recognizing an opportunity to creating work, getting it approved and pushing it out on social platforms. “The smaller brands might be able to react quicker, maybe buy up some really cheap last minute media space… but at an agency with bigger clients, it is hard to be responsive to trends,” she said. So, why are other agencies continuing to pitch work to their clients based on a cooling, crowded – and potentially overblown – cultural moment? Well, partly because they believe that joining in the pop culture conversation, regardless of any potential cringe factor, is worth it. “There’s a clear appetite to reach younger audiences within their preferred online spaces,” said Rachel Porter, influence creative strategy director at Ogilvy UK. “The subcultures that initially engaged with the Brat Summer phenomenon – especially across music, dance and the LGBTQ+ community – are far from insignificant.” Clients had shown “a strong desire to explore how we can together harness these cultural moments to boost brand relevance and engagement,” she added. Brand responses to trends make up a significant portion of their organic activity on social platforms. According to a survey of 500 brand managers in the U.S. and U.K. by agency Billion Dollar Boy, 97% of social media marketers estimate that 20% of their organic social media activity is related to a trend, while 77% planned to increase that proportion over the next year. Mulligan said that Brave Spark has steered clear of pitching Brat-related work, primarily because its team deemed the moment inappropriate for the clients on its roster. “It’s about not looking after yourself and having a summer of sex and drugs,” she added, topics that are “toxic and taboo” for many advertisers. When a suitable trend comes along, though, she said the agency’s teams typically write a “proactive brief” to inspire prototype creative assets and outline the opportunity to a client. Ogilvy’s Porter said the agency had been pitching ideas to clients since the beginning of May, though she declined to name the clients the agency had spoken to. Its pitch relied on the work of the agency’s “dedicated trendspotting team,” which evaluates social media trends based on “target audience overlap, brand alignment and campaign goals,” she added. “Once we identify a relevant rising trend, we immediately share with our clients, including examples, data, potential brand impact and initial concepts,” Porter added. At Assembly, Box said that the agency has been shopping around a trend report to its client roster, explaining the trend and identifying how brands might fit into it. “We you customize the recommendations based on what we know about their audience and, of course, what their product and services are. Not every client is going to obviously implement, but it opens the door for us to have a conversation with them,” she said. How late is too late? Mulligan advised caution from marketers now rushing to join a party that might already be over. “You’re at the tail end of the trend dying off and that potentially puts your client in danger of seeming behind the times,” she said. Knowing when to call it might depend on your chosen cultural bellwether. Dazed and Pitchfork, for example, have both called the end of the trend, while Ogilvy’s Porter disagrees. “While having a Brat Summer is in the mainstream now, we will still see exceptional brand content tapping into the trend in coming weeks. This underlying desire for authenticity, individuality and a sense of belonging will remain,” she said. At Assembly, Box describes the trend as a part of a “movement” that brands can take part in now, and indeed beyond Brat Summer. “We don’t expect the Brat attitude to go away. This is the beginning of a movement… it may not be that we’re calling it ‘Brat,’ we may be for a while, but that attitude is is definitely not a micro trend.” For Mulligan, a sign that the party was definitely over came from the political world, after supporters of the former British home secretary and candidate for Tory party leader Priti Patel as “the brat candidate.” “That is the death knell,” said Mulligan.

A look at how she leverages audience engagement.	en	https://tubularlabs.com/…ular-favicon.svg	Tubular Labs	https://tubularlabs.com/blog/taylor-swift-defies-the-status-quo-how-female-creators-are-taking-their-power-back/	The music industry has long been the focus of scrutiny from many artists for its overbearing record contracts and manipulation of naive and hopeful talented musicians. Millions of fans might not know that their favorite musicians don’t own their own music. Many of the world’s most infamous musicians have come out against record labels. Prince is notorious for coming out and warning young artists — “don’t sign.” What does it look like when record labels own their artist’s music? The Record-Breaking Re-Record Enter in: Taylor Swift and her army of dedicated fans, aka — Swifties. On Friday, November 12, Taylor re-released her album Red from 2012, originally owned by a label. This time, she is label-free. The album rendition is titled Red (Taylor’s Version). Billboard reported that Swift had the biggest album sales week of 2021. According to Spotify, Taylor broke records on the streaming platform for most album streams in a single day by a female artist (90.8M). That said — the previous title holder was also Taylor, following her release of “Folklore” in 2020. Tubular’s data reports that Swift’s personal Youtube racked up 170M views across 39 uploads in the first week of release. In just 7 days, +7,890 album-related videos were uploaded by fans across Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, and Twitch. Exercising Creative Freedom One of the most notable songs on the album that Taylor says she is most excited about is “All Too Well”. When Swift appeared on The Tonight Show, she told Jimmy Fallon this was her favorite song on the original Red album from 2012. Still, she revealed “oftentimes my personal favorites don’t end up being singles or videos” due to labels having the final say in the songs that they’ll push and market the most. So the original 10-minute version of the song was cut down to a standard length and never given a video feature — until now. Swift resurrected this song with her director debut for the short film “All Too Well”. This video won the highest number of Youtube views on Taylor’s channel with 41.1M and 3.6M engagements in just one week and more than eight other song variations, such as the lyric video, short film, and SNL performance earned over 70M views total. Mastering Fan Engagement Taylor made her directing debut with “All Too Well”, a short film starring Sadie Sink from Stranger Things and Dylan O’Brien from Maze Runner. In her classic Swift-style, she dropped dozens of “easter eggs” (clues & codes) throughout the 14-minute film, which incite her fans to scour the content for a hint into Swift’s personal life. This scavenger hunt game she’s created with fans exhibits a mastery of viewer-creator relationships. Engaging with fans this way exponentially propels viewership, engagements, and minutes watched. When you have millions of people raking through details with a fine-toothed comb, engagement skyrockets — this is a lesson that all brands and creators can learn. Today’s young social video audiences want to participate, relate, and be involved rather than just consume. The Future of Crowd Funding Swift’s ability to produce records sans-labels has allowed her to reassume creative control and become more successful than ever before. She’s breaking records left and right. But how can up-and-coming artists without a fanbase as loyal as the Swifties afford to do the same? We believe the evolution of social video can offer a direct line of communication between creator and consumers. Many artists are looking to promote NFTs via social media to use fan funding for an album, exonerating them from going to a record label. This trend is not unique to the music industry, as it spans across all industries where creators are becoming self-empowered through social platforms. But why would fans pay for NFTs when they can stream on Spotify or Apple Music? The truth is that fans love the artist, not the record label. We’ve seen how Swifties have responded in the first week of Red (Taylors Version), and celebrated her freedom to exercise creative control. Many music-lovers would be happy to support their favorite up-and-comers in recording an album with total creative authenticity rather than one edited by a label. Social video and the creator economy have single-handedly altered the way musicians put out music. This shows us what the future of dispersed funding could look like. It also indicates how consumer-creator relationships empower creators. For more predictions on the future of the Creator Economy, read here. Other female artists have also taken a bit of power back this month. Jessica Simpson bought back the rights to her lifestyle & clothing brand for $65M. Additionally, after over a decade of conservatorship, Britney is finally in control of her own money, property, and life. #FreeBritney. We spoke to the Lead Product Manager and Taylor Swift expert at Tubular to get his perspective on the future of creatives in power. Insights to Actions: What can your company learn from the Taylor’s reign?

Filmed and recorded at their O2 Arena show in London on December 11 last year (we’re only reviewing the audio here) this isn’t the Quo we’ve come to love over the years. By the time of the show Rick Parfitt had already left the band and sadly he’d die just eleven days later. In this line up, sure the music is tight and Francis Rossi as always puts in the hard yards, but all you can really think of is that absence and although Richie Malone does a great job, it’s not the same. Musically there’s a certain energy and a real tightness, and the new line-up does a great job of running through the band’s considerable back catalogue with an emphasis on those two peak decades – the 70’s and 80’s. Opening up with ‘Caroline’ it’s a familar and well-worn set that will please fans without the real gems that peppered the recent reunion concerts which are already three years past now. Why release the album? The press release perhaps sets it out best of all: “Having been envisaged as a swansong for the band’s legendary electric set, the 2016 winter tour turned into something very different as Rick Parfitt was forced to be absent having suffered the first of a series of health issues that would tragically end his life as the year closed. With the band having been urged by both Rick himself and the fans to carry on and keep the music blasting, they found yet another gear, and the show captured in front of a the loyal O2 crowd turned out to be very special indeed”. Whatever your personal thoughts and whether or not you consider this an essential release will I guess depend on your level of fandom. There are some great tracks here with, as you might imagine, tracks like ‘Down Down’, ‘Paper Plane’ and ‘Rocking All Over The World’ leading the way. With this release originally heralding the end of Quo’s ‘electric’ shows (with a promise in the advertising back in February 2016 that these would be the final ‘electric shows’ for the band) it’s clear that things have already changed even prior to the release just over a year later. There is already a ‘Last Night of the Electrics’ European Tour underway followed by dates here in Australia. After that the band starts another fully electric ‘Plugged In’ Tour of the UK in October and November. It all rather makes the title ‘Last Night of the Electrics’ rather redundant and the promise looking rather more like a marketing ploy! Whatever happens in the long run it’s been a long and eminently pleasurable journey for many and when Rossi does finally decide to retire his waistcoat, white trainers and jeans British rock music will have lost another great institution.

This was a period which saw band members come and go, the ‘End Of The Road’ tour and an opening slot at a small charity gig in 1985 in Wembley Stadium which earned the band a place in rock history. 1+9+8+2 is an album I hold dear. I borrowed a copy of this at the tender age of 14 and played it to death. This was the start of my rock addiction and I can thank this album amongst others for getting me hooked. Listening back now the album does stand the test of time with ‘She Don’t Fool Me’ and ‘Dear John’ sounding as fresh as ever. I had also forgotten how good some of the other tracks were, ‘Jealousy’ and ‘Young Pretender’ are excellent with great melodies. The second CD with 1+9+8+2 is mostly made up of recordings from rehearsal sessions with the guys mucking around with various cover versions. The cover versions range from the good to the unbelievably bad, Rick singing ‘Blueberry Hill’ has to be heard, just once though! ** 1983 saw the band release Back To Back and hit the charts hard with a series of singles including ‘Ol Rag Blues’ and ‘Marguerita Time’. This album was the band’s most commercial to date and did cause some consternation among older fans who missed the heavy riffing of the Frantic Four. However there was a number of great riffs if you persevered like on ‘Can’t Be Done’ and ‘No Contract’ but for some the cry was ‘sell out’ and the chart success reinforced their views. CD2 contains a mix of singles, album out-takes and extended versions of tracks. One single that makes an appearance here is ‘The Wanderer’ which again raced up the charts peaking at number 7. Another track of note is a version of ‘Ol Rag Blues’ with Alan Lancaster on vocals which is great, I always like Lancaster’s rougher vocals. 1/2 By the release of the next album In The Army Now Quo had parted company with Alan Lancaster and enlisted John ‘Rhino’ Edwards to the fold. They had also played their farewell tour but we will gloss over that one… This album carried on from ‘Back To Back’ with another four hit singles bothering the charts, the highest being the title track which reached the heady heights of number 2. This record also found the band experimenting more with keyboards which again got a mixed reaction from the fans, but it was a route they would continue with through to the end of the decade. There are some gems here however like ‘Save Me’ and the country tinged ‘Invitation’. On CD2 this time you will find B sides, remixes and live tracks. The live tracks are of most interest and include the Quo Cake Mix, a good blues jam and a cracking version of ‘La Grange’ which gives way to ‘Rain’. 1/2 The deluxe edition of Ain’t Complaining bucks the trend by having 3 CD’s which include a live album recorded in Wembley in July 1988. The original album is interesting as it took Quo into AOR territory with extensive use of synths and electric drums. The track ‘Another Shipwreck’ actually reminds me of an Asia track which is about as far from traditional Quo as you can get. To be honest I hadn’t heard this album in full until now and I feel I have missed out on a hidden classic in the Quo catalogue. The song writing is excellent and hearing the band stray from the well trodden path is a breath of fresh air. The album is rounded off with ‘Burning Bridges’, a track which continues to feature in the set list today and with good reason. CD2 contains B sides, remixes, the single ‘Running All Over The World’ and a re-recorded version of ‘Rocking All Over The World’. It is CD3 though which is of more interest as it features the afore mentioned Wembley live set. Any Quo live album featuring ‘Hold You Back’ and ‘Dirty Water’ is a winner in my book. There are a couple of ‘Ain’t Complaining’ tracks on the album as well with ‘Cream Of The Crop’ being exactly that. The 80’s were a transitional time for music and Status Quo moved with the times with varying degrees of success. Given the turmoil the band went through during this period the fact that they came out almost intact and produced so many hits is something of a miracle! ** Review by Dave Wilson Featured Artist: JOSH TAERK Since early 2020 Josh has been entertaining us with exclusive monthly live sessions, streamed via Facebook.

Read on! Identikit boogies STATUS QUO: “Hello” (Vertigo) Album review by Charles Shaar Murray I GUESS I ought to be grateful to Status Quo. If I hadn’t heard this album, I wouldn’t have thought of writing the “Heavy Metal” piece that appeared in last week’s issue. I doubt if that’ll comfort them any since I am told that when Francis Rossie (or “Mick Rossi” as he used to be in more innocent days) was told that I was reviewing this album, he waxed profane and opined that the band had “had it now.” Well, rest easy, Francis. I don’t think that “Hello” is going to end up in my “Top 10 Albums of 1973” list, but it ain’t too offensive. In fact, it sounds quite nice if you don’t listen too closely. It chugs along quite effectively, and Quo bang out dem ‘ol tried and trusted riffs with a certain amount of precision and enthusiasm. There’s even a very nice little neo-Beatles tune called “Claudie”, which would be quite charming if the lads had modified their basic heavy approach slightly, not to mention a cut which winds like a bastardised version of “Truckin”. Now to the bad news. Once you get past the basic sound and production, there’s naught of any real substance there. The solos are woefully unimaginative, and the songwriting also lacks any real inspiration. Quo’s trouble is basically that they’re rather clichè-ridden. Clichès aren’t necessarily bad in themselves, as to a certain extent most good rock music depends on an imaginative and creative juxtaposition of clichès. The problem here is that Quo are not masters of the clichè, but slaves to it. In the hands of a master, the presentation of something half-familiar (or even totally familiar) can be quite enlightening. On the other hand, the same clichè presented badly simply causes anguished mutterings of “Oh shit, not that again”. And sad-to-say, when Status Quo trot out their identikit boogie, it is the latter reaction that prevails. But again, Francis, rest easy. Most of the people who dig you are going to enjoy the album, so why worry? Gotta rush now – I’m going over to Nick Kent’s to hear some Carpenters albums.

The rock group’s new album ‘Aquostic (Stripped Bare)’, currently at Number 34, has been in the charts for 11 weeks, meaning the band have been in the album charts for 500 weeks over their career. Only 50 acts have achieved the feat, including leaders Queen, who have spent 1,457 weeks in the album charts, runners up The Beatles, who have spent 1,406 weeks in the charts, and Elvis Presley, who’s accumulated 1,364 weeks. ‘Aquostic (Stripped Bare)’, Status Quo’s 31st studio album, features some of the bands biggest hits recorded acoustically for the first time. It peaked at Number Five following its release in October, the band’s highest chart position since 1996’s ‘Don’t Stop’ Reached Number 2. Advertisement “To be celebrating 500 weeks in the Official Album Chart – that’s almost 10 years”, Status Quo’s Francis Rossi told the Official Charts Company. “It feels incredible. It’s almost surreal that this band that we formed all those years ago could reach this point. It’s a tangible achievement though, and a milestone we’re very proud of. “‘Aquostic (Stripped Bare)’ is itself our highest charting album for 18 years and has just been certified Gold, so it’s not been a bad few weeks. I rarely believe in looking backwards though, we’re by no means done yet; 2015 will be another interesting year for Quo!” Status Quo are due to play a headline UK tour this year. The band will play: Recommended

Covid came along and that got rescheduled and then cancelled altogether but Rossi finally makes it to Hastings’ White Rock Theatre on his follow-up tour, ‘Tunes and Chat’. The previous tour adopted that well-established format for this type of evening: seasoned music journo chats to acclaimed rock star about their life and career, interspersed with some live songs. Sadly, (for the reasons given above) I didn’t get the chance to see Rossi do this with veteran rock writer, Mick Wall, when they went out on the road but Rossi clearly enjoyed himself because he’s back for more. However, this time he’s eschewed the standard format of on-stage bantering with an established music journo and it’s just Rossi and his guitar tech and accomplished co-musician, Andy Brook. Brook famously doesn’t say a word during the show until right towards the end when he reads out some audience questions for Rossi to answer. So the “chat” part is very much Rossi in solo mode. It soon begins to remind me of one of those monologues that Ronnie Corbett used to do sitting on that massive big chair meandering away when he did his solo segment on The Two Ronnies. It’s very stream-of-consciousness with lots of ad-hoc, one-liners interspersed with recollections about growing up in an Italian family in south London, getting hooked on music and embarking on a potentially-lethal home experiment in trying to create his first ever electric guitar. Along with the more generic chit-chat, there’s also some fascinating insights into how certain Quo songs came about. And, my, do we get the songs. Starting off with some of the early material like ‘In My Chair’ and ‘Down The Dustpipe’ before moving on to some of the songs recorded at the height of the band’s success in the 1970s and early 1980s, there is absolutely no shortage of Quo classics, including ‘What You’re Proposing’, ‘Paper Plane’ and ‘Rocking All Over The World’. I’ve seen Status Quo perform acoustically in the past, of course, when they did their ‘Aquostic’ project some years back but this is a much more intimate affair and Rossi is in fine voice and clearly in his element. On stage, Rossi and Andy Brook spar extremely well together musically – even if not conversationally – and the evening ends with a wonderful, communal sing-along to ‘Caroline’. Structured? Not really. Insightful? Partly. Entertaining? Absolutely! https://www.francisrossi.com/ Related posts: Status Quo – Aquostic at Hammersmith Apollo 26/4/15 Status Quo at Hammersmith Apollo 28/3/14 With music-loving parents rock music had always been in the background growing up. By my early teens I’d begun taping a few things off my dad when I first got a portable tape recorder. But these are the first albums that I actually owned. 1. AC/DC – Highway To Hell My dad had been an early adopter as far as AC/DC were concerned, buying High Voltage not long after it was released in the UK and playing it pretty much constantly as I recall. Highway to Hell came out in 1979 and not only did my dad have a copy but my older stepsister had one, too. By 1981, though, she was getting far more into punk and so gifted me her copy. My first rock album – and what an absolute classic to start off with. 2. Status Quo – Never Too Late Not the greatest Quo album but a good solid album and a great cover of ‘Somethin’ Bout You Baby I Like’ which had made the top ten. I was already a confirmed Quo fan when the album was released in March 1981, just in time for my fifteenth birthday in May – thanks Mum! 3. Slade – We’ll Bring The House Down Another fifteenth birthday present (thanks Dad!). I’d been aware of Slade in the early 70s, of course, but by the time I was a teenager they’d virtually disappeared off the radar completely. But I remember watching Top Of The Tops when Slade burst on the screen with their brilliantly raucous comeback single ‘We’ll Bring The House Down’. I asked for the album for my birthday and a life-long devotion to all things Slade followed. Not Slade’s most famous album by a long stretch, but in terms of making an impact on a youthful Darren perhaps the most significant album I ever owned. 4. Deep Purple – In Rock A friend at school sold me this second-hand. He decided he was a punk not a metalhead and this was therefore surplus to requirements so I bought it off him for 50p. A true classic album, I loved (and still do) the combination of Jon Lord’s eerily atmospheric Hammond, Ritchie Blackmore’s manic guitar wizardry and Ian Gillan’s deranged screaming. Deep Purple had been defunct for several years by this time but this was an indication that I would be dipping back into the back catalogues of the previous decade for many of my subsequent musical purchases over the coming years. 5. Whitesnake – Ready an’ Willing Bought from a record shop in Southport while I was in a youth theatre project this album immediately impressed – with one unforgettable tune after another. Just a few weeks later Whitesnake, along with AC/DC and Slade, would be one of the first bands I ever saw – live at the Donington Monsters of Rock festival. 6. Status Quo – Whatever You Want I remember getting this from the local newsagents where they had a small rack of cut-price LPs amongst all the magazines and sweets. I bought it mainly for the title track and ‘Living On An Island’ but this became an album I played loads. 7. Rainbow – Down To Earth Another bargain, this is one I got cheap from a mail-order company. I had already taped my dad’s copies of ‘Rising’ and ‘Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow’ by this time and was a fan of Ronnie James Dio’s vocals but I also really warmed to the more commercial rock of the Graham Bonnet-fronted Rainbow, too. Still a really great album and still one of my favourites. I took this (along with my recently-purchased Ready an Willing and Whatever You Want) to a party in the summer of 81 and they all got a bit scratched and battered, sadly. It was an early lesson in why you should not take records to parties – but, with any luck, hopefully someone would be inventing the CD for me in a couple of year’s time…. So that was my first bunch of albums. Many, many hundreds more would follow over the years. But, looking back, I feel fairly nostalgic thinking about how it all started for me and, if I may so myself, not a bad choice of albums at all…. Seven spectacular reunion gigs The communal celebration of a band’s legacy, the return of a classic sound and unforgettable songs, the emotional resonance of seeing members sharing a stage again after many years apart; there can be something very,very special about reunion gigs of your favourite bands. As the reunited line-up of Ozzy, Geezer and Tony prepare to play their final Black Sabbath show I look back on some pretty special band reunions. In no particular order, here are seven spectacular reunions I’ve been lucky enough to witness in recent years. 1. Black Sabbath 2014 and 2017 Truly one of the great reunions of modern times, even without original drummer Bill Ward. Back in 2014 when Sabbath played Hyde Park I wrote ‘Osbourne’s ups and downs have certainly been well-documented and Iommi has been undergoing debilitating bouts of chemotherapy over the past two years. All of that is a world away from tonight’s performance, however, and the band members are all blisteringly on form. They commence with a stunning version of War Pigs and one by one the classics are reeled off: Snowblind, Fairies Wear Boots, Iron Man. The sound is great. The guitars, drums and vocals are everything you would want at a Sabbath gig.’ When dates were announced for The End tour I had zero hesitation in snapping up a ticket. Reviews from 2014 here and from 2017 here. 2. Status Quo ‘Frantic Four’ 2013 and 2014 Although Status Quo continued to fill arenas each year, there was something very special and very emotional about seeing the classic ‘frantic four’ line-up of Alan Lancaster, John Coghlan, Rick Parfitt and Francis Rossi walk on stage at the Hammersmith Apollo after a 32-year absence. The earthy, rocky, bluesy brand of boogie they played that night was quite different from the keyboard-heavy pop-rock act that normally tours under the Quo banner these days and the crowd were absolutely ecstatic. Sadly, following the tragic death of Rick Parfitt, it’s something that can never be repeated now, but I was lucky enough to see them on both the original reunion tour in 2013 and the follow-up a year later. Here’s my review from 2014. 3. Mott The Hoople 2009 and 2013 I have loved Mott The Hoople ever since discovering one of their albums second-hand as teenager in the early 80s. And although I’d seen Ian Hunter solo before I was amazed to open the Guardian guide one Saturday morning and see an advert for a Mott The Hoople reunion at the Hammersmith Apollo with all the original members, 35 years after the bands demise. Although alzheimer’s was beginning to take its toll on drummer Dale Griffin he joined the band for the encores in 2009. Hugely emotional, it was a glorious celebration of a criminally under-rated band and remains one of my favourite gigs of all time and remains a text-book case of how to pull off a reunion with dignity, style, emotion and meaning. I saw the band again at the O2 when the reunion (sans Griffin) was repeated four years later. The sad deaths of both Dale Griffin and bass-player Overend Watts in the past year remind us how privileged Mott fans were to get their long-awaited reunion when they did. 4. Beach Boys 2012 While I’d seen a couple of stunning solo shows from Brian Wilson, I’d never been at all tempted by the Mike Love-fronted band that continued to tour under the Beach Boys name. But when it was announced that the surviving Beach Boys (Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, Bruce Johnston and David Marks) would be re-uniting to celebrate the band’s fiftieth anniversary I snapped up tickets for friends and family as soon as they went on sale. A mega run-through of Beach Boys hits, a gloriously full sound (aided by musicians from Brian Wilson’s musically brilliant touring band) and a beautifully authentic-sounding new studio album, too, this was definitely a reunion not to be missed. Al Jardine’s voice was particularly outstanding still. 5. Blur 2009 and 2015 Blur’s Hyde Park reunions have become something of a tradition. I saw the first in 2009 and although I missed the one for the 2012 Olympics I did see them again in 2015. ‘The crowd is hugely good natured and it’s very much a communal celebration in Hyde Park. These songs have stood the test of time and are rightly held in great affection, as are the band who play them’ is what I wrote at the time. My full review from 2015 here. 6. Fotheringay 2015 ‘Sandy Denny was the finest British female singer-songwriter that ever lived. Fotheringay was the short-lived band she formed in 1970 on leaving Fairport Convention. It lasted less than a year, but forty-five years on the surviving members have reformed for a short tour and are playing their first London gig since 1970. Band reunions can elicit mixed reactions and some questions went through my mind on this one. However talented the remaining musicians are, would this be a worthwhile exercise with the band’s two main front-people, Sandy Denny and her husband Trevor Lucas, long since deceased? As soon as the band come on stage, though, and open with Nothing More, the opening number on the original Fotheringay album, all doubts are set aside.’ Full review here. 7. The Kinks (well Ray and Dave) 2015 Who knows if there’ll ever be a Kinks reunion. I did, however, catch a solo gig of Dave Davies in Islington back in 2015 with a very nice surprise at the end. Here’s what I wrote at the time: ‘Of course, when he came back on for an encore we could all guess absolutely what the song was going to be. What we couldn’t guess, though, was who would be joining him for that final song. “A surprise for Christmas!” announced Dave and on walked his brother Ray, the two of them sharing a stage together for the first time in 19 years. The audience as one are hit with amazement and wonderment at this beautiful and unexpected moment in rock’n’ roll history. Ray was in fine voice as he sang You Really Got Me and Dave cranked up the guitar. The audience went wild. Excitement, joy and genuine emotion as that 2 minutes and 14 seconds of one of the greatest rock’n’roll songs of all time blasted out from the stage.’ Full review here. Of course, there are some band reunions I would love to see if ever they were so inclined (Gillan, Supergrass, the surviving members of the Byrds) and there is one I would have loved to have seen happen more than anything (Slade) but the possibility of that seems ever more remote with each passing year. However, I do feel genuinely lucky to be present at each of those moments described above. Which have been your favourite musical reunions and which bands would you like to see re-unite? Status Quo are a band that stopped worrying about critical acclaim and musical credibility long, long ago. After the band’s 70s/early 80s peak we’ve seen cringe-worthy covers albums, sing-along football songs, bizarre collaborations with the Beach Boys; in fact you name it, they’ve tried it. Even the well-received reunion of their classic 70s line-up in 2013 was immediately followed by a cheesy mafia comedy film set on a tropical island. So the idea of a Status Quo acoustic album and tour could be dismissed as yet the latest undignified attempt in a long line of pointless gimmicks. Except that… the album was actually rather good. And following a strong reception to a one-off acoustic show at the Roundhouse last year, touring it was an inspired idea. More than simply strumming along to some old hits, however, the band took the trouble to create completely reworked arrangements for the album and they are replicated here tonight. The acoustic guitars and harmonica are complimented by a range of other instruments, including mandolin, accordion, viola, cello and violins. Joining the modern era line-up of Status Quo (Francis Rossi, Rick Parfitt, Andrew Brown, John Edwards and new-boy Leon Cave) are an additional nine musicians as well as two female backing singers, all of whom, Rossi tells the crowd, played on the album. Rather than the usual Quo gig, the elegant lighting, back drapes and stage full of seated musicians looks more like the setting for a 1950s dance band. The sound is still unmistakably Status Quo but the light and breezy arrangements and sensitive vocals show off the quality of the songwriting and bring out new depths to often familiar songs. A beautifully laid-back version of early 80s hit “Rock ‘n’ Roll” is a particular highlight and there are some lovely reworkings of earlier material like “Reason for Living”, now re-imagined as a folk-rock rock classic. Rain is given a makeover as a countrified acoustic blues and a classically-infused Mystery Song, with exquisitely catchy string accompaniment, is another highlight. Of course many of the best known classics are included, too, like Caroline, What Your Proposin’ and Down Down. The set proper is finished with Whatever You Want and Rockin All Over the World, the acoustic treatments creating the perfect setting for a mighty communal sing-along. Thankfully the post 1983 material has been kept to a minimum in favour of earlier classics, but they encore with a nicely sensitive version of Rock ‘til You Drop. That is then followed by the gimmicky jig, Burning Bridges. It wouldn’t be my choice for a Quo encore but the crowd lap it up and you can forgive the band one lapse of good taste after such a stunning evening.

But when it comes to big rock reunions, and I’ve seen a few, nothing beats a well-chosen, established act from a similar era to kick things off. Status Quo have chosen brilliantly here by getting in Wilko Johnson as the support for their “frantic four” classic-era reunion tour. Diagnosed with terminal cancer in early 2013, former Dr Feelgood guitarist, Johnson, made the brave, inspirational and utterly life-affirming decision to use his remaining time, not pursuing a debilitating and ultimately futile course of treatment, but by saying farewell to his fans with a series of live dates. There has been no sign of his being incapacitated just yet and so further dates have been added, the Quo tour being the latest. And what a magnificent performance, not only from Wilko but from bass player Norman Watt-Roy and drummer, Dylan Howe. The crowd roared its approval as the trio delivered blistering performances of Feelgood classics like Roxette, Back in the Night and She Does it right. The admiration and affection for the man tonight was moving but this was no mere sympathy vote. It was a genuinely magnificent set and the crowd responded accordingly. Quo could not have chosen a better way to open up the evening. After a shortish break the lights dimmed, the famous spoken intro from the 1977 live album was relayed over the PA, the silhouette backdrop made famous by the “Hello” album cover came down and Francis Rossi, Rick Parfitt, Alan Lancaster and John Coghlan walked on stage. The four are reunited for a second time after their reunion tour last year following a 32-year break. Since the demise of the classic line-up in the 80s Status Quo, under Rossi and Parfitt, has very much continued, of course. But what we saw tonight was something very different from the lighter keyboard-heavy pop-rock act that continues to fill arenas every year. Like last year’s Quo re-union tour, again there was a focus on material from the early 70s albums, rather than the big hits of later years. It was a very similar, setlist too, but although lacking the emotional resonance of seeing four guys walking out on stage together for the first time in over 30 years, it more than made up for that by being a somewhat tighter performance from the band than in 2013. As in last year’s reunion, returning bass player, Alan Lancaster, got a hefty slice of the lead vocal duties, Lancaster’s gritty vocals being something that later versions of the band have definitely missed out on. I’ve seen the post-Lancaster/Coghlan Status Quo at a couple of festivals, and while they are undeniably fun and entertaining, the quality of songs and the earthiness of the performance when the original four get on stage together provides something different altogether. Highlights for me were Lancaster opening with Junior’s Wailing, Rossi singing In My Chair, and a magnificent performance of perennial crowd-pleaser Forty Five Hundred Times. Although the focus was very much on album classics, I must confess when I saw them last year I was ever so slightly disappointed that they had chosen not to play one of their greatest ever hit singles, Caroline. Tonight, though that was rectified and the band encored with a magnificent version of Caroline, followed by traditional show closer, Chuck Berry’s Bye Bye Johnny. Definitely, a memorable night for British rock.

If You Can’t Stand The Heat was released in 1978, with more experimentation within their sound. If you ask the classic four-piece about the album now, you will probably not get the same answer from everyone. Rick Parfitt, who handles the vocals on several tracks, regards If You Can’t Stand The Heat as one of their finest efforts. Alan Lancaster, on the other hand, regards the release as the point where the band lost their direction. It may be more accurate to conclude something in-between as the actual truth, because If You Can’t Stand The Heat sure has its moments, and they start fresh with “Again And Again,” which also was the single. It’s a very “produced” track, with steamin’ horns and a simple, but effective, chorus. By this time, current keyboard player, Andy Bown, was well on board. He penned one of the albums highlights, being “Long Legged Linda” – a great track to rock your socks off to, complete with electrifying keyboards and a hungry horn section. He is also credited in writing “Oh! What A Night;” another great track on the album. The second single, “Accident Prone,” showed yet another side of Status Quo. This was 1978, so the Quo’s had to do something close to disco to keep in line with the trend. Well, maybe not exactly, but “Accident Prone” is actually a song to dance to, and it did fairly well in Europe, but failed to impress the British audience.

There can't be many acts who've released as many albums as Status Quo. I recently had the privilege of working on their 33rd studio album, Backbone. Shortly before embarking on the project, I'd taken over the reins in the Quo camp from Grammy award-winning engineer Gregg Jackman, and as I'd already worked on the Francis Rossi & Hannah Rickard release 'We Talk Too Much' I had some experience of working with Rossi. But Backbone was to be forged in very different circumstances to previous Quo albums. This would be the first record of original material to be released since long-time guitarist Rick Parfitt passed away in late 2016, and the first album to feature the newest band members, Leon Cave and Richie Malone. It was also the first Quo album that Rossi decided he'd produce solely by himself since 1991's Rock 'til You Drop, and from the outset he was determined to make it very differently from the Quo albums of the '90s and '00s. He wanted to make it on his own terms, rather than deliver something the band felt expected or obliged to — so when I say it was a privilege to be involved in this project, it's not just about the excitement of working with a big name; it was also a genuinely original, interesting and engaging project. In this article, I'll take you through how we approached the Backbone sessions, explaining some of the decisions we made and techniques that we used along the way, and hopefully I'll be able to cover a few things that might be of benefit to your own productions. Building On The Demos We recorded, mixed and mastered the entire project at Rossi's home studio. It's obviously a little grander than what most SOS readers would think of as a 'home studio' — it comprises a live room, a green room, a vocal booth and a comfortable control room, with a Harrison 48:32 console at its heart — but it offered us a similar balance of pros and cons. The band would, of course, be able to record the final album in the studio, but they'd also have the luxury of time to work on developing the songwriting and making demos there too. Over the years the studio has made the move from recording on ADAT machines to a Mackie HDR 24-track hard-disk recorder and then, eventually (on Jackman's arrival), to a computer-based setup based on Logic Pro X. I'm actually a dyed-in-the-wool Pro Tools user, but it was important that I use the in-house system for this production — thankfully though, I've used Logic many times over the years, which meant the switch to Logic wasn't too daunting. The band started the demo sessions around February 2018 with a view to recording the album in the Autumn. We kept everything that Rossi and long-term collaborators Andrew Bown, John 'Rhino' Edwards and Bob Young sketched out during songwriting sessions, and we also imported drafts from band members who'd recorded things remotely, on various systems: Boss hardware recorders, Logic sessions, and even some voice memos. This material formed the core of the album and was kept for reference in the working project right up until the final mix — in fact, a few of the 'demo' parts we'd recorded even made it onto the finished record. The idea of retaining the demo material throughout was that we could make sure we never lost sight of the energy in those original ideas — and I think it's fair to say this approach worked well. One upshot of working with the demo material in these sessions in this way was that the drums were not the first thing we laid down, as they typically are in rock productions. Instead, we built the album recordings around the guides we'd created during the writing sessions, starting each song off by recording guide guitars from each writing partnership, and a guide vocal from Rossi. Whether working on demos or the final product, I'm a firm believer in using studio time with the artist for recording; the engineer/producer should always be focused on capturing the energy of the performances, and things like editing, processing and comping can be done later at your own leisure. Rossi has a similar philosophy. Thankfully, it was also apparent from an early stage that Backbone was not going to be a project that would leave us with take upon take of material to sift through later— recording really was a case of getting down just one or two takes (three at most) that could be tidied up to appear as the final 'take' on the record. Vocals Although I've just called them 'guide' vocals (since that was the intention), we rarely needed to redo any of these initial lead vocal parts, other than to drop in a word or two to accommodate the occasional lyrical tweak. At some stage, the lead vocal would be double tracked, to achieve the definitive Status Quo vocal sound — sometimes immediately after the initial take, sometimes after everything else had been laid down. Incidentally, it's fascinating to see just how exacting an artist is about their double tracking when they've spent a lifetime doing it! I often reach for Synchro Arts' Vocalign or Revoice Pro when dealing with multiple vocal tracks, but great as those tools are, for this album I happily left them unused on the lead parts. We used an AKG C414 and a Neumann U87 set up in tandem, each running through a dbx 160 VCA compressor. On many 'classic' Quo records the vocals were tracked and double-tracked with a C414, a setup that persisted until Jackman encouraged Rossi to adopt the U87 in the '90s. Eager to see if the mic choice could help recreate a vintage sound, we kept both channels running for most of the early vocal takes, allowing us to compare the results later. As it turned out, the C414 wasn't as impressive as we'd anticipated — it sounded somewhat brighter, but it didn't really lend itself to this vocal. The U87 wasn't entirely what we wanted straight off the bat either — it offered something the C414 didn't, yet still seemed sort of 'muted'. To arrive at the desired sound, we EQ'ed the U87 to emulate the frequency response of the C414, which yielded a nice, full-bodied tone, with neutral mids and airy highs. A theme of huge 'block vocals' developed very early on into the recording process, and this became part of the signature sound for the album. It was a case of quadruple-tracking a background part and then adding a fifth and an octave above that (again, quad tracked). These had to be super tight — unnatural even — to achieve the desired effect, so I made liberal use of Revoice Pro for this. (Prime examples of this sound can be heard on the tracks 'See You're In Some Trouble', 'Backing Off' and 'Falling Off The World'.) Electric Guitars The move away from the wall-of-guitars sound of some recent Quo records was deliberate. The idea was to get the sound to 'breathe' more, and so our approach involved capturing sounds with considerably less harmonic distortion, and again choosing not to track take upon take of the same part. Many of the songs were constructed around riffs, but there's a signature sound to Quo which involves a guitar figure movement from playing a fifth and then a sixth and then back again — otherwise known as 'the finger'. It forms the rhythmic basis of the songs, so we chose to get these down at an early stage — other figures and parts could then be developed around them. Rossi is an exceptional blues guitar player and rather than recording rehearsed ideas for the solos on this album, he preferred to jam them out to see what felt right. As with the vocals, it was a case of two to three takes before discussing whether he'd nailed the part and if it served the song. As a guitar player myself, I had to make a concerted effort to think as an engineer/producer, more in terms of the record and how the phrasing, articulation and tone of the solos sat in the song than I usually would as a player. Sometimes we'd fine-tune the parts (not as easy as you'd expect when it's all improvised like this!) or comp the solo out of the two or three takes we had on file. We quickly got into a system of a three-channel recording setup for Rossi's parts, with a DI signal feeding a tailored AC30 emulation in Logic, and a dual-miked 60W Marshall JCM900 combo set up in the live room. A Shure SM57 was placed dead centre on one of the cones, and a Neumann KM183 omni small-diaphragm capacitor model placed six feet from the amp at head height, to give us a more neutral reading of the room — the omni pattern doesn't seem to exaggerate room modes as much cardioid mics tend to. The height was simply set to reflect what the listener would hear if stood in the room. For the most part Rossi used his custom Status guitar. This is a solid alder body model, fitted with Hot Rail pickups and a bolt–on graphite neck, and featuring a variety of tonal controls. I confess that I had my doubts to begin with — but I'd soon find myself pleasantly surprised by this instrument's versatility. Depending on the material, I often like to use some form of physical noise control, such a Gruv FretWrap (string damper) when recording guitars, and something like this is essential when dealing with carbon-fibre models, which always seem to exaggerate sympathetic resonances.
