Picturesque Matchstickable Messages from the Status Quo - 180 Gram Turquoise Vinyl

STATUS QUO Picturesque Matchstickable Messages from the Status Quo (2025 UK/EU 12-track LP, pressed on 180 Gram Turquoise Vinyl and limited to just 1000 copies. This is their debut album, originally released in 1968, before they became icons of denim-clad boogie rock, and showcases their vibrant psychedelic pop roots. Includes period-defining covers such as The Lemon Pipers Green Tambourine and The Bee Gees Spicks and Specks, adding further depth to a record that’s become a time-capsule of late-’60s pop experimentation. Housed in a silver foil numbered sleeve faithfully reproducing the vibrant psychedelic artwork, plus gold hype-sticker. A vivid reintroduction to the lesser-known side of one of Britain's most established rock institutions)
