Status Quo, a British institution, is a multi-million-selling band of epic proportions. While their career was in its heyday during the 1970s, the hits kept coming through the 1980s, along with breakups, lawsuits, line-up changes, substance abuse, and a high-profile, highly successful comeback after calling it a day in 1984. While much has been written about the glory years, Quo's difficult but triumphant struggle through the 1980s is a much more exciting story with twists, turns, and a sense of peril that feels like it could go either way. This is a celebration of Quo's music at its most vulnerable and experimental, at a time when the band lost old fans, gained new ones, and made some of the most varied and creative recordings of their career. No stone has been left unturned, with several members of the band contributing stories and anecdotes from their own perspectives that should leave even the most knowledgeable of fans feeling like they've learned something.
