Content

Representing the last set of unreleased recordings in the Status Quo catalogue, the collection was collated not just from all of the BBC-owned Status Quo recordings that still existed in the archive, but also by inviting contributions from fans. Fans contributed home recordings of broadcasts that were wiped by BBC.[1] The set includes recordings of the band's early appearances as The Spectres and Traffic Jam.[2]
