Status Quo - Blue For You

RARE/2HAND VINYL LP ON VERTIGO 1976

Vertigo 9102 006 made in Scandinavia in gatefold cover with lyric inner sleeve.

Vinyl NM. Cover VG+.

Released in March 1976, Status Quo's ninth album was, depending upon how one viewed the last six years of relentless boogie, either the last of the band's "classic" LPs or the first step toward absolute household name-dom that the group has enjoyed ever since. In fact, of course, it was both. At its best -- the punchy (and almost presciently punkish) "Is There a Better Way," the sleazy barroom vibe of the title track, and the six-minute closer, "Mystery Song" -- Blue for You married vintage Quo with a progressive eye that boded well for at least another few albums' worth of quality quo-tations. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Status_Quo_%28band%29
