Two south London fellows called [a=Alan Lancaster] (bass) and [a=Francis Rossi] (guitar - known as [a5373623] during the band's early years) founded the band in 1962. First name The Paladins soon changed to [a=The Spectres (2)] (another previously-documented early name, The Scorpions, is disputed). 
In 1966, the band changed their name to "The Traffic", shortly thereafter to [a=The Traffic Jam (2)]. The lineup consisted of Lancaster, Rossi, [a=John Coghlan] (drums) and [a=Roy Lynes] (keyboard).
A year later, the band changed name once again to "The Status Quo". [a=Rick Parfitt] (guitar) joined the band. Their first hit record, "Pictures of Matchstick Men", was released. "The" was omitted from the name of the band in 1969, known thereafter as just "Status Quo"

With their 1996 studio album <i>Don't Stop</i>, British rock heavyweights Status Quo celebrated their 30th anniversary. On this special occasion, they decided to commemorate it by recording an entire album in tribute to some of rock music’s greatest hits, such as "Get Back" by The Beatles, Chuck Berry's "You Never Can Tell" or Little Richards "Lucille".

For some of these cover versions, Status Quo got legendary artists at their side: The American band The Beach Boys joined Quo on "Fun, Fun, Fun", Brian May from Queen dropped by for Buddy Holly's "Raining In My Heart" and Steeleye Span vocalist Maddy Prior accompanied Status Quo on "All Around My Hat".

Status Quo is known for renewing rock’n’roll every time they enter a studio, so of course they did it again on<i> Don’t Stop</i>. The album was awarded with gold and entered the UK charts at #2. It also reached the top 40 in France, Germany, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland.

Featuring 4 Bonus Tracks including "Tilting At The Mill", "Mortified", "Temporary Friend" and "I'll Never Get Over You", this high quality CD Digipak Edition also contains extensive liner notes by the widely renowned rock writer Dave Ling.
