Limited edition of 1000 numbered copies on turquoise coloured 180-gram audiophile vinyl. In South London members Alan Lancaster (bass) and Francis Rossi (guitar) were the original members and founders of Status Quo. Formerly known as The Spectres and later renamed to Traffic or Traffic Jam they settled for Status Quo as their band name in 1967. The following years they were joined by John Coghlan (drums), Roy Lynes (keyboard) and Rick Parfitt (guitar). Status Quo's first hit record "Pictures of Matchstick Men" was released in 1968.The single reached #7 in the UK, and remains the band's only major hit single in the US, where it reached #12. Their debut Picturesque Matchstickable Messages from the Status Quo soon followed. It features several covers, including "Green Tambourine" by The Lemon Pipers and "Spicks and Specks" by The Bee Gees. Another highlight from the album is their second single, "Ice in the Sun." Even if this is not the most representative album from Status Quo, it is a good psychedelic pop exercise.
