Customer Reviews

Life Begins at Forty - Quo's still Rockin' on the longest farewell tour
From 'Pictures of Matchstick Men' in 1968, to the Ultimate Quo collection 'Pictures - 40 Years of Hits' in 2008. This set is an excellent retrospective of Quo's 40 years in the business. The four CD's covers their whole career, with 76 great tracks including their first Christmas release 'It's Christmas Time', which is also their 75th single. The collection is mounted in the front of a lavish 12" x 12", 120 page hardback book featuring copies of the pictures painted by various stars and artists, who have created their own versions of classic Quo album and singles covers. The originals having now been auctioned in aid of The Prince's Trust, making £100,000 for the charity. The presentation of this collection is also excellent and is well worth the extra money over the cost of the basis two disc, forty track collection, and will most certainly be a collector's item in the future. May Quo still be Rockin' All Over The World for many years to come, hope to catch them on the current leg of their extended farewell tour in Cambridge in February 2009.

What a quality product !
When I received this I was taken aback at how good it is. A lovely hard back book, intro from Prince Charles then reproductions with associated write-ups of all the paintings (pictures) that were done for Status Quo's charity auction at Bonham's which raised £100,000 for the Princes Trust just before Christmas 2008 (how that wasn't reported in the press/TV is beyond me). And then you get 4 CDs of Quo's music as well attached to one of the hard inside covers - just fantastic, definitely a treasure to keep.

Attention all Quo collectors!
This is a great collectors set. The 4 CDs in the front of the book make sure you have all the hits from the guys, and together with the very different paintings and artists give you an interesting read as well. Buy a couple then frame some of the pictures!
