Customer Reviews:

Great early Quo.......2005-01-01

This excellent three-disc set perfectly shows the Quo's transition from psychedelic pop of the late 60s to the hard blues and boogie rock that would take them into the 70s and all the way up to the present day. Personally, I like the early Status Quo better, and there's plenty of rarities here for like-minded fans, lots of tracks by the earlier incarnations of the group, Traffic Jam and the Spectres.

There's also enough of the boogie rock here, as well, with disc three totally dedicated to their harder rocking stuff, and disc two bridging the gap.

This is the perfect anthology of Status Quo if you want an overview of their early career, with good liner notes and pictures and a well-presented package. Most people have a definate preference over which version of the band they prefer, though, so if the psychedelia is your thing you might just want to go for the two-disc repackaging of Picturesque Matchstickable Messages instead of getting lumbered with the early 70s stuff, and vice versa for the 70s fans.
