Starting life in the early 1960s, after a series of line-up and name changes, the band became Status Quo in 1967. It was in the early ’70s that the band moved away from their psychedelic 60s roots and became a full-on hard rock/boogie machine with a stream of successful albums and singles. Along with a change to their sound, came a change in image, moving into faded denim and t-shirts, creating their iconic ’70s look. With more than 60 chart hits in the UK, Quo are one of the most successful hard rock bands of the ’70s and ’80s.

The book features hundreds of classic and unseen, carefully restored black and white images of Quo at play and playing live on a series of stunning, unforgettable tours. The book concentrates on the ’70s and finishes with the band at Live Aid in 1985. Contributing photographers include Ross Halfin, Chris Walter, Fin Costello, Barry Plummer, PG Brunelli, Michael Putland and more.
