CD Reviews

An Excellent Quo Retrospective
David Lusher | London England | 03/08/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"
This album is probably the best Quo collection currently available. Despite persistent rumours, Quo actually have more than 3 chords at their disposal! One listen to '4500 Times' should help convince any listener of that. There is a good selection of classic Quo material here, particularly from their days when they were as powerful a draw as Purple, Heep, Rory Gallagher, Nazareth, Alex Harvey, Family, Thin Lizzy, Budgie etc. This double disc set is great value for money - the tracks sound fresh and I defy anyone to sit and listen to this without tapping their toes or indulging in a spot of air guitar. Pure entertainment!"
The best 'greatest hits' album of 2004 ?
Michael Lancaster | Tauranga, New Zealand | 02/01/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"It could very well be the best 'greatest hits' album of 2004! As any british person know, Status Quo have had more hit singles than any other band in England (even beating the rolling stones!), and this album provides a great collection of their songs and some album tracks that weren't even singles! Although there are some of their Top 10 tracks that arn't on this (Rollin' Home, Ol' Rag Blues, Dear John), it still is a great album by any standards. Ideal for parties (as you don't need to keep skiping through the CD to find a decent song), or just a loud, beer drinking afternoon with your mates. No faults with this. Even if you only know 'Caroline' or 'Rocking All Over The World', buy it and get yourself hooked to the great riffs and catchy choruses of Status Quo..... "Get down, deeper and down!""
