Double vinyl LP pressing. 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), and after several band members changes are still performing today in a revamped line-up.

Over the years, Status Quo developed their own signature style of heavy rhythms, a few guitar chords, straightforward, accessible lyrics and collected a huge and loyal fan base.

In 2006 NME magazine named Status Quo 'The Most Successful UK band' as they achieved more chart hits than any other British band. This Collected compilation is an era spanning selection of Status Quo including the hits and is newly remastered for vinyl.
This includes a four-page booklet with liner notes and is packed in a limited gatefold embossed 'guitar' sleeve.
