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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack Veils of Melancholy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e When My Mind Is Not Alive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ice in the Sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Elizabeth Dreams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Gentleman Joe's Sidewalk Café\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Paradise Flat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Technicolor Dreams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Spicks and Specks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sheila\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sunny Cellophane Skies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Green Tambourine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Pictures of Matchstick Men\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e UPC \u0026gt; 8719262039810 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Format \u0026gt; New Vinyl \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Label \u0026gt; Music on Vinyl \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Release Date \u0026gt; Release Date: 9.12.25 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShop online at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57420410159439,"sku":"8719262039810","price":6.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0965\/8725\/2047\/files\/4447874-3427953.jpg?v=1775623308","url":"https:\/\/vibesvinyl.com\/products\/status-quo-picturesque-matchstickable-messages-from-the-status-quo-limited-180-gram-turquoise-colored-vinyl","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
