Status Quo release “The Vinyl Collection 1981-1996”, on 24th February 2017. This carefully-curated release is delivered as a 10-LP Deluxe Edition Box, with each LP also available via a digital download code.
All of the material contained within “The Vinyl Collection 1981-1996” is re-mastered from original tapes and presented on 180gm vinyl, with original covers and inserts.
This impressive collection takes us further into the world of one of the UK’s most cherished bands, with albums such as “Rock Till You Drop”, “In The Army” and “Never Too Late”.
It also contains the never-before-on-vinyl “Don’t Stop”, and the hard to find “Perfect Remedy”. The collection also contains a disc featuring a selection of rare 12” mixes.
Charting the growth, development and power of one of rock’s all time classic acts, this set is a tour de force, highlighting the unique catalogue created over one incredible decade by rock’s true survivors. With nine complete albums, and a rarities album, this is a collection that will become a must have for Quo fans the world over.
Following on from the well-received 2015 release: “The Vinyl Collection 1972-1980”, the new set that covers 1981-1996 is a triumphant revisiting of the glory days of a band that has become a national, and international, treasure. Rick Parfitt recently sadly forced into retirement from the band through recurring ill health.
