 ORIGINAL 1967  LP  STILL SEALED
Cadet Concept Records  LPS-315

*********************************************************

Status Quo, also known as The Quo or just Quo, are an English rock band. The group's origins were 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 late 1967, finally settling on the name "  Status Quo"   in 1970.
By 1967, the group had discovered psychedelia and changed their name to Traffic (later amended to Traffic Jam, to avoid confusion with Steve Winwood's Traffic). At this time the line-up also included organist Roy Lynes. They released another single "  Almost But Not Quite There"   which was also a flop. In late 1967 the band became The Status Quo, and in January 1968 they released the psychedelic-flavoured "  Pictures of Matchstick Men".  Rick Parfitt was invited to join the band just as the song hit the UK Singles Chart, reaching Number 7. "  Matchstick Men"   also became their only Top 40 hit single in the United States. Though the follow up was the unsuccessful single, "  Black Veils of Melancholy",  they had a hit again the same year with the poppy, Marty Wilde penned "  Ice in the Sun",  which climbed to Number 8. Although the group's albums have been released in the United States throughout their career, they have never achieved the same level of success and fame there that they have enjoyed in their home country. After the breakthrough, the band management hired Bob Young as a roadie and tour manager. Over the years Young became one of the most important songwriting partners for Status Quo.

Original 1968 1st pressing on Cadet Concept Records. Not a re-issue, No barcode. This LP is STILL SEALED in it's original shrinkwrap. There is a drill hole in the center of the cover (I hate when they do that!!!), but it's not too noticble, due to the cover design. The corners are sharp, it has tight shrinkwrap and no wear. There is a great "hype" sticker affixed to the front shrink. LP is in nearly MINT condition.
