Synopsis

Album Description
Digitally remastered two CD set featuring 43 of the finest tracks by this British rock institution. Includes tracks from their '60s Psychedelic period up through their '90s rock and roll masterpieces. Features 'Pictures Of Matchstick Men', 'Down Down', 'In The Army Now', 'Ain't Complaining', 'Ice In The Sun', 'Paper Plane', 'In My Chair', 'What You're Proposin'' 'Whatever You Want' and more. Status Quo is one of Britain's longest-lived bands, staying together for over 40 years. During much of that time, the band was only successful in the UK, where they racked up a string of Top Ten singles that ran into the Millennium. Over the years, the Quo have basically recycled the same simple boogie on each successive album and single, yet their popularity has never waned in Britain. If anything, their very predictability has ensured the group a large following. Universal. 2006.
 

CD Reviews

Excellent overview!
Michael L. Powell | Ohio | 07/22/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Status Quo Gold follows the band from their sixties hits like "Pictures of Matchbox Men" and continues on through 1996 including their impressive string of British hits. The group was never big in the US but they are still charting hit singles in the UK more than 40 years after their first single release. They have a nice mix of covers and original material that doesn't allow the listener to become bored while listening to the generous helping of 41 tracks. A must for long time fans and for newcomers alike."
