Status Quo is one of Britain's longest-running bands. In 1962 the band started as the beat group The Spectres. It was around 1967 when they discovered psychedelic rock music and changed their band name to Traffic, later changed once again to Traffic Jam. Later that year Rick Parfitt joined the band, which set the band's name finally to Status Quo. This is the 2LP anthology of Status Quo with an overview of their early career, before they changed their style into a more rock'n roll boogie band.
