DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Status Quo was founded in South London by Alan Lancaster (bass) and Francis Rossi (guitar)
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.
As many bands from the late 1960s, Status Quo started out as a psychedelic pop band, before evolving into a straight-ahead boogie/rock & roll band with hits like Roll Over Lay Down, Whatever You Want and Down Down.
Picturesque Matchstickable Messages from the Status Quo is now available as a numbered limited edition of 1000 copies on turquoise vinyl.

Frequently Asked Questions

We are a European label and for the majority of our releases, we only have the European rights, meaning that they’re produced for the European market only. Because of this, these releases are not available for purchase at our MOV shop.

If the record is essential for your collection (which we would understand), we'd advise to search for European shops or marketplaces.
A pre-order product is a product which still needs to be produced. So, after your purchase, you won’t receive this product immediately. We strive to send these on the Release Date which you can find on the product page under the collapsible tab called “Details”.

Let customers speak for us
The packaging and art is beautiful!! I love the Young-hee pop up!!
Looks great, well packed and fast delivery.
Looking forward to a rainyday to sest a listern to it.
Would recommend and look forward to my next purchase.
Many thank for a great service.👍
Received in excellent condition. Sound quality is exceptional on this vinyl. Very happy with this purchase. Gave my CD to a friend and I’m listening to this great vinyl record now.
Although the sound of this pressing is not spectacular, it is very good! A discogs review claimed that this pressing "taps you on the shoulders and slaps you in the face" but I wouldn't go so far as to say that it does. But I would say that this pressing sounds fresh and more modern thanks to the better low-end this MOV reissue offers.
It's a very dynamic record with lots of detail and it truly is a great reissue. I did notice a remarkable sonic difference on 'Radio Silence', very detailed and modern sound.
The vinyl labels are a great touch and the printing quality of the sleeve and insert are better than the original.
Pressing: 8/10
Music: 9/10
Sleeve: 8,5/10
Love the sisters and love this album. Suggetsted this and got it! Great quality reissue! Maybe Contact next?
Received my box set today #0013 very pleased, I knew MOV would do these records justice was surprised to see Found All The Parts as a 12” vs the original 10 I only got through In Color but plan on diving into rest all week as time allows. I know as Cheap Trick fans we all have these but do yourself a favor and get this.
Good version well packed arrived in tip top condition. Excellent customer service too…
