Rocktopia: Status Quo - 'Quid Pro Quo' - CD Review

A Rocktopia / Fireworks Magazine album review by James Gaden: The twenty ninth album by Status Quo. That's quite a claim in its own right! Back in 1968 they issued their first LP, 'Picturesque Matchstickable Messages From The Status Quo' and built themselves up into one of the top rock bands in the country. A string of classic albums in the seventies made them a household name, before line-up changes and musical differences saw the band split in the early eighties. Next thing you know, they make a comeback in 1986 with the hit 'In The Army Now' and have been steadily touring and recording ever since. Personally, I rated 2002's 'Heavy Traffic' as one of the very best Quo albums, but the follow ups 'The Party Ain't Over Yet' and the amusingly titled 'In Search Of The Fourth Chord' were also extremely high calibre. read the full review on Rocktopia. http://ping.fm/cifVG
