ANOTHER LEGENDARY HOLY GRAIL FOR QUO COLLECTORS
THE ONE AND ONLY RELEASE FROM ‘THE TRAFFIC JAM’
By 1967, The Spectres had discovered psychedelia and named themselves Traffic, but were soon forced to change it to "Traffic Jam" to avoid confusion with Steve Winwood’s Traffic, following an argument over who had registered the name first. The band secured an appearance on BBC Radio's Staurday Club, but in June their next single, "Almost But Not Quite There", under-performed mainly as a result of the BBC banning the song from radio due to the lyrical content being about a woman's sexual fulfilment. The following month saw Rick Parfitt, at the request of manager Pat Barlow, joining the band as rhythm guitarist and vocalist. Shortly after Parfitt's recruitment, in August 1967, the band officially became Status Quo.
