Status Quo to release deluxe editions of three classic albums

Three of Status Quo’s classic albums are being re-released in expanded deluxe 2CD and 3CD formats later this spring.

Published 6th Apr 2017

All originally released on the Vertigo imprint, 1976’s ‘Blue For You’, 1980’s ‘Just Supposin’ and 1981’s ‘Never Too Late’ have all been remastered from the original tapes by Andy Pearce and Bob Young.

Likely to delight Quo aficionados, between the three special editions there are 36 previously unreleased tracks and unheard versions, together with extensive sleeve notes and rarely seen photos.

Fully supported and endorsed by Status Quo themselves, the special editions will be issued by UMC on 26th May 2017. ‘Blue For You’ and ‘Just Supposin’ cost £12.99 and ‘Never Too Late’ costs £16.99. You can pre-order them now right here
