A great 24-track anthology of the long running UK band Status Quo.In ways,it's even better than their 'Singles Collection,1966-1973' 2-CD(see my review)because it's more direct AND to the point.Especially for the price,you simply cannot beat this deal here.Plus,there's at least seven cuts here that are not on the 'Singles...' 2-CD release.Most of these are quite good,like the Lemon Piper's cover "Green Tambourine","Lazy Poker Blues","Do You Live In Fire","Daughter",the psych gem "Elizabeth Dream","Need Your Love" and "Spinning Wheel Blues".For any fans who believe the Quo were simply a one-hit-wonder,you're half-right.In the states,they were.However,in the UK,they had a string of top ten hit singles.So there!Definitively a must-have.
What else can you ask for that price??? Someone can ask, well that's why I rate it 3 stars. Eventhough, this boy can always rock with their heavy boogie sound. I think that maybe It can be call, "At Their Best, The early Years" or something like that. It is a good purchase for someone that knows Status Quo best works and want some of the eary reacords, but I don't recomend it to some that is beginnig with them.
