Lossless Album - CD Box Set

If anybody would've said that after 1968's "Pictures of Matchstick Men" by Status Quo would be the first of 56 chart hits by this UK typical late 60's psychedelic rock band,they would've probably taken you for an MRI.But now 34 years later,125 MILLION records sold,33 albums,and a record TWENTY straight years with a Top 40 hit,here it is-the definitive Status Quo box set covering 1972-2000.There are 69 tracks in this 4 CD set,including 20 hit singles,15 unreleased tracks,and 9 other rarities.Some great live previously unreleased tracks of "Don't Waste My Time","Roll Over Lay Down","Hold You Back",and "Proud Mary" are great examples of the 3 Quo drummers of the past-John Coughlin on the first two,Pete Kircher on the third,and Jeff Rich on Mary.The original "Ol Rag Blues" with Alan Lancaster doing the lead vocals is terrific,as is the extended version of "Burning Bridges".Listen to "The Power of Rock" and there you have Quo at their finest 12 bar boogie with tremendous rhythm and sing-along potential.This is a MUST for committed or even casual Quo fans you get everything here except Matchstick Men because that was not on Vertigo Records and all these tracks celebrate Quo's 28 years with Vertigo.
